Rep. Sara Jacobs Statement on Passing of Sen. Dianne Feinstein
Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) released the following statement on the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein:
“My thoughts and prayers are with Senator Feinstein’s family and loved ones today. Senator Feinstein paved the way for so many women to enter and succeed in public service, helping to break into the ‘boys club of politics’ and change the mold of who we think is ‘ready’ and ‘capable’ of leadership. I feel so grateful to have grown up in California, where we had two strong female senators who normalized women being in power. Senator Feinstein always led from her heart and pushed our country to live up to its values and protect the most vulnerable, especially children and the LGBTQ+ community. From passing the federal assault weapons ban to establishing the Amber Alert network to fighting for marriage equality, she always sought to make our communities safer, fairer, and more just. Her legacy will live on far beyond the halls of Congress and inspire little girls everywhere that they’re enough and they can do anything.”
