Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif, speaks during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee in July 2022.Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was first elected to the U.S. Senate from California in 1992 in a wave election known as"the Year of the Woman" and went on to champion gun control, died today, NPR has confirmed. She was 90 years old.
At that moment, Feinstein became interim mayor and went on to win election and later reelection, serving as mayor until 1988.Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown – a longtime political ally of hers – said Feinstein's handling of the assassinations crisis cemented her reputation. In fact, in the mid-1980s, San Francisco alone was spending more on AIDS than the entire federal government."And that really goes to her leadership and a great credit to her," Volberding said.In 1990, after leaving the mayor's office, Feinstein ran for governor. She lost narrowly to Republican Sen. Pete Wilson. But a year later, the political climate changed with the Senate confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
