In the long arc of California history, among redwood giants like Hiram Johnson, Earl Warren, Ronald Reagan, Pat and Jerry Brown, one name stands out: Dianne Feinstein.
She is not only the state’s longest-serving U.S. senator, she is one of the most meaningful and accomplished lawmakers Californians ever put in office.
It is not just her legislative achievements, in areas like environmental protection and gun control, that distinguish Feinstein’s more than half-century-long public career.
