About Senator Dianne Feinstein:
As California’s senior Senator, Dianne Feinstein has built a reputation as an independent voice, working hard to find commonsense solutions to problems facing California and the nation.
Since her election to the Senate in 1992, Senator Feinstein has built a significant record of legislative achievement across a wide range of issues. She helped create the nationwide AMBER Alert network, succeeded in passing bills to help California cope with severe drought and wildfire and continues to advocate for commonsense gun laws.
She has also authored the first major cybersecurity bill to be signed into law in years. She’s an aggressive opponent of sex trafficking and authored legislation to help prevent sex abuse of amateur athletes. One of her most notable achievements was leading the six-year review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program. This effort culminated in the 2014 release of the report’s executive summary and passage of legislation banning the use of torture.
Senator Feinstein serves on the Judiciary committee—where she helps shape policy on criminal law, national security, immigration, civil rights and the courts. She also oversees judicial nominations and major investigations.
Senator Feinstein also serves on, and was previously the first woman to chair, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence—a position she held for six years. During her tenure as chairman, Senator Feinstein oversaw the passage of six consecutive intelligence authorization bills.
