Feinstein was the longest-tenured Senator in Washington D.C.
WASHINGTON — Longtime California Sen. Dianne Feinstein's death Friday marked the end of a historic career in politics. “Mr. President, yesterday, the senior senator from California came onto the floor through those doors to do her job. She voted. She voted to make sure that our country would continue to move forward and not shut down," Murray said in her remarks. “That was Dianne. She did her job every day.
Sen. Murray also reflected on her favorite personal memories of Feinstein, who was sworn into the Senate just a year before Washington's senior Senator. “That was Dianne. She saw people. She knew people. She saw that she could be someone that we all needed, and she saw that she could be there when she was needed—and she was there."
