Following 90-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) death at her home in Washington, D.C. Sept. 28, friends and colleagues offered condolences in statements remembering the late senator for her decades-long career in politics.
“Her passing is a great loss for so many, from those who loved and cared for her to the people of California that she dedicated her life to saving,” James Sauls, Ms. Feinstein’s chief of staff, said in a statement released Sept. 29 on X, formerly known as Twitter. “There are few women who can be called senator, chairman, mayor, wife, mom, and grandmother. Senator Feinstein was a force of nature who made an incredible impact on our country and her home state.”
