CA Dems declined to endorse @SenFeinstein for senate this past weekend calling for "new blood." Before we dismiss the 84 year old senator who broke gender barriers by becoming the first woman senator from California, let's look at Dianne Feinstein's long history #ImWithDianne 
Dianne Feinstein began her career in 1970 when she was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She was the 1st female president of the board in 1978 when Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated. Feinstein discovered Milk's & and announced his death
Feinstein succeeded Moscone as Mayor of San Francisco as the 1st woman to hold that position. In 1992 Feinstein & Barbara Boxer were elected to the senate on the same ballot. They were the 1st women CA senators. In 2012 she claimed the record for the most popular votes w/ 7.75m
Feinstein is the 1st & only woman to have chaired the Senate Rules Committee and (2007–2009) the Select Committee on Intelligence (2009 to 2015) She is also the only woman to have presided over a U.S. presidential inauguration. Feinstein is now the longest serving female senator
#GunReform is a personal issue for Feinstein after she discovered the bodies of Harvey Milk and George Moscone. She authored the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and introduced a new one in 2013 that unfortunately failed to pass businessinsider.com/gun-control-di…
On January 9, 2018 Feinstein dealt a huge blow to republicans denying Russian involvement in our election by releasing the Fusion GPS transcript washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-tu…
We need to hold our elected representatives accountable and policy discussions are always fair game. However we must respect a longstanding female senator with decades of accomplishments and a lifetime of breaking gender barriers. #ImWithDianne #RepresentationMatters
