Costa Statement on the Passing of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein

WASHINGTON - Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) released the following statement on the passing of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. 

“Senator Dianne Feinstein was a patriot and an incredible champion for the people of California. As California’s longest-serving and first female senator, she was a fighter and a trailblazer for women across California and the nation. We worked together to improve California’s water infrastructure, expand access to healthcare, and modernize our transportation systems. She made a difference every day during her long tenure in public service

It’s a sad day for the people of California and for our nation. Dianne was my friend and a mentor to me for over 33 years, I will miss her. May she rest in peace - there is no one like Dianne."
