Sen. Dianne Feinstein died Thursday night at her home in Washington, D.C. Davis had known and worked with Feinstein since the 1970s.
I want to take you back to that time. There were the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. There had been another giant upset in San Francisco just days earlier, which was the mass suicide at the People's Temple in Guyana. So many San Franciscans were involved in that. That time was just chaos, how did she bring calm to the city?She reminds me a little bit of my mother.
We worked on a lot of positive things, but the point I want to make is she was exactly what she represented herself to be kind of a moderate trying to work with both sides to do positive things for America. She wanted to work with Democrats, she wanted to work with Independents, she wanted to work with Republicans, but most of all, she wanted to do something positive for the people she represented.We've had many giants from California in the US Senate.
My mother said to me one time, you have two ears and one mouth for a reason. You should listen more than you talk. When you listen, it's amazing how much you can learn. Feinstein had all those skill sets, and we're gonna miss her.I had just returned to Gov. Jerry Brown’s office as chief of staff and I had just bought a condominium in Sacramento. I’d only been there three days, I didn’t even know what my home number was. The phone starts to ring at about 2:30 in the morning.
