Her leadership and relentless advocacy for our most vulnerable will be deeply missed, and I look forward to the new generation of leadership that comes in her stead — they undoubtedly have big shoes to fill.” “You can’t tell the story of California politics — or the story of American politics — without the trailblazing career of Dianne Feinstein,” said Sen.

Feinstein se ha caracterizado por tratar de encontrar puntos en común con los republicanos, lo que a veces le ha valido las críticas de los miembros más progresistas de su partido. Feinstein fue la primera persona que encontró el cadáver de Milk tras ser tiroteado. Feinstein también ha sido durante mucho tiempo una férrea defensora del avance de los derechos de las personas homosexuales y del matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo.

La veterana senadora Dianne Feinstein pondrá fin a su carrera en ... (EL PAÍS)

La legisladora, en el cargo desde 1992, ha anunciado que no buscará reelegirse en los próximos comicios, cuando tendría 91 años.

Fue la primera que halló en el suelo el cuerpo de Milk. Estudió Comunicación en la Universidad Iberoamericana y el Máster de Periodismo de EL PAÍS. Feinstein se convirtió en la alcaldesa, la primera mujer en ostentar el cargo, gracias al apoyo del resto de supervisores. Uno de los legados más importantes de Feinstein en Washington fue su publicación en 2014 de un informe de más de 6.000 páginas que documentaba [la tortura a la que había recurrido la CIA](https://elpais.com/internacional/2014/08/06/actualidad/1407348485_375342.html), la agencia de inteligencia de Estados Unidos, para recabar información. Los homicidios de Milk y Moscone la convencieron para luchar contra la proliferación de las armas en EE UU. En 1969 llegó a uno de los cargos políticos más importantes de San Francisco, la junta de supervisores, el organismo que supervisa las acciones del condado. En 1960, fue nombrada por el gobernador de California para formar parte de la junta que supervisaba las liberaciones anticipadas de las prisiones estatales. Feinstein coincidió en la junta de supervisores de San Francisco con Harvey Milk, un defensor pionero de los derechos de las minorías. La todavía senadora ha dicho este martes que agotará su tiempo en Washington en algunas de las causas que ha defendido desde hace décadas. Las revelaciones del Chronicle y las preocupaciones de los demócratas también impactaron la capacidad de recaudación de Feinstein, quien mostró mucho músculo en anteriores ciclos electorales a la hora de juntar dinero para las campañas. El periódico The San Francisco Chronicle aseguró en abril del año pasado que la senadora tenía problemas para seguir las largas reuniones que se llevaban a cabo en Washington para hablar del contenido de la legislación. Es la senadora más grande entre el centenar de legisladores en el Capitolio.

“Una leyenda en California como la primera mujer senadora; una leyenda en este Senado. Pero esa tensión se olvidó en el Capitolio el martes, donde los demócratas elogiaron la carrera de Feinstein. “ La senadora Feinstein hizo historia”, dijo Elizabeth Warren, senadora por Massachusetts. Esa frustración se mostró durante su última campaña para la reelección en 2018. Un mes después, anunció que permanecería, pero renunciaría como la principal demócrata. La prohibición expiró 10 años después y nunca fue reemplazada, pero siguió siendo un tema característico en una carrera moldeada por la violencia armada. Ascendió a ese puesto después de los asesinatos en noviembre de 1978 del entonces alcalde George Moscone y del supervisor de la ciudad Harvey Milk por un exsupervisor, Dan White. La senadora demócrata por California Dianne Feinstein anunció este martes que no se lanzará a la reelección para un sexto periodo en 2024. También es conocida por acercarse a los republicanos para encontrar un término medio. Ganó reputación como una centrista pragmática que dejó su huella en las batallas políticas sobre temas que van desde los derechos reproductivos hasta la protección del medio ambiente. Pero incluso antes de mudarse a Washington, Feinstein era una de las mujeres más destacadas de la política estadounidense. Feinstein está particularmente asociada a los esfuerzos para ampliar las restricciones al porte de armas.

In the ensuing months, Feinstein would negotiate the fine points of redactions with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who flew to San Francisco to meet with her. As chair of the powerful Intelligence Committee, Feinstein was determined to examine the Central Intelligence Agency’s program of detention and interrogation after the Sept. Spurred by the assassinations of Milk and Moscone and by a mass 1993 shooting in downtown San Francisco, Feinstein worked to prohibit assault weapons. After three years of work, they sent a damning report to the White House. Instead, CIA personnel, aided by two outside contractors, decided to initiate a program of indefinite secret detention and the use of brutal interrogation techniques in violation of U.S. “She basically did a really good job of keeping the city stabilized,” said Bill Carrick, her longtime campaign consultant. She survived a recall attempt after enacting a handgun ban, which presaged her push in the Senate to outlaw assault weapons.
