John,

This morning, we learned of the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Senator Feinstein was a legendary public servant, and an unmatched champion for California and our nation. She put the entirety of her heart and soul into serving the communities she loved. California, and the nation as a whole, owe her a debt of gratitude.

Dianne broke many glass ceilings. From serving as the first female president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the first female mayor of San Francisco, to the first female senator from our state. She was a trailblazer in every meaning of the word.

Dianne held the love and trust of her constituents and her colleagues because of her tremendous work ethic, deep knowledge of issues, and her willingness to work across the aisle to get things done. As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Intelligence Committee, she tirelessly fought for our country, no matter how difficult the challenge or complex the issue.

Dianne and I worked closely together on projects that have improved the lives of the people of our state, particularly on the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act that protected hundreds of thousands of acres and will ensure these pristine lands and opportunities for outdoor recreation will be enjoyed for generations to come.

She was a champion for gun violence prevention issues and was a tireless advocate for keeping our communities safe. Her legacy will never be forgotten.

Dianne Feinstein was my friend, an outstanding public servant, and her voice and advocacy will be sorely missed. Jan and I send our thoughts and prayers to her friends, family, and staff during this sad time.

May her memory be a blessing.

Best,

Mike Thompson
