ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley released the following statement in response to the passing of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California.
“Today is a dark day in Orange County, in California, and in our nation as we lost a visionary trailblazer in Senator Dianne Feinstein,” said Supervisor Foley. “Senator Feinstein opened doors and broke glass ceilings for so many women to follow in her footsteps. I remain grateful for her decades of service to America as a mom, Mayor, County Supervisor, U.S. Senator and Chair of the most powerful Senate committees in America.
Current and future generations will always remember her powerful legacy, her loyalty to our democracy, her fight to protect our civil and reproductive rights, and her sacrifices throughout her life in service to our great nation.”
