Dianne Feinstein Was the Longest-Serving Female in The Senate
In addition to other accolades, Feinstein was the longest-serving female member of the U.S. Senate, as well. She spent over 30 years within the walls of the establishment, and a staunch left-wing politician, she was a major advocate for gun control.
Hailing from San Francisco, Feinstein began her political career in the city’s Board of Supervisors, prior to her Senate work.
In 1978, she would eventually become mayor of SF after the city’s previous mayor, George Moscone was assassinated, along with Supervisor Harvey Milk. Feinstein joined the U.S. Senate in 1992.
