Governor Walz Orders Flags to Fly at Half-Staff in Honor of Senator Dianne Feinstein

Governor Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags to fly at half-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota effective immediately until sunset on the day of interment to honor the life and legacy of Senator Dianne Feinstein.

?Senator Dianne Feinstein was a trailblazer who spent her career fighting for gun safety, environmental protections, and reproductive freedom,? said Governor Walz. ?Throughout her long career of public service, she worked across the aisle to enact change and improve the lives of Americans. We will continue to honor her life and legacy.?

?Senator Dianne Feinstein cleared a path for so many of us,? said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. ?Her legacy will live on in the people she inspired and the policies she passed that will improve the lives of countless Americans for generations to come. I have tremendous gratitude for her service.?

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags.

Flags at Half-Staff

In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff.
