Garamendi’s Statement on Senator Feinstein’s Retirement

WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA) issued the following statement following U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s announcement that she will retire upon conclusion of the 118^th Congress:

“Senator Feinstein is the most accomplished Senator in California history. She focused every day of her career on helping her constituents, and she always succeeded in finding a way to get it done.  She led the successful effort to protect our forests, Lake Tahoe, the Mojave Desert, our Pacific Coastline, and our water. Together with her husband, Richard Blum, she brought federal support to the University of California and California State University systems.  Every Californian, and indeed everyone in our country, benefited from her tireless work and determination to solve problems. It has been a privilege to work with such a dedicated leader. She has been tireless in giving her life to our great state, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with her throughout the rest of her term.

“Senator Feinstein has blessed our state, and I thank her for her service to our great nation.”
