REP LIEU STATEMENT ON PASSING OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement on the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein.

“I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Senator Dianne Feinstein’s passing. California and the country lost a barrier-breaker and an icon. Through grit, grace and incredible intelligence, she succeeded in politics at a time when few women could. She paved the way for a historic number of women to have a seat at the table and a voice in Congress. I am grateful to have known Senator Feinstein. It was a honor and privilege to have worked with her on many issues impacting Californians – including helping our veterans. She had an incredible career guided by a love of our country and American values. We’re a better nation because of her leadership. I join her family, friends and our country in mourning her.”
