The late senator's final farewell took place right here on the steps of City Hall; her political story coming full circle, celebrating her life where her political career began.
The memorial service for the late Sen. Feinstein drew mourners from near and far. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was among those making their way to California for a final farewell.
Political allies from the past also came to pay their respects. Retired Sen. Barbara Boxer said while she and Feinstein didn't always see eye to eye on every issue there was a shared bond of doing the best they could for the people of California. "I think especially about the assault weapons ban that saved so many thousands of lives in our country, her work on the Violence Against Women Act that probably wouldn't have happened at the time it did without her and all of the women whose lives were saved," said Lofgren."She was an extraordinary person and to be able to work with her for 40 years, learning along the way, Tahoe and water issues in California and on and on," said Garamendi.
"As an elected official, a policymaker, what she once said to me was, 'What's the number one quality of an elected leader'," said Gonzalez. "'What do they have to have?' And she goes, ‘One word, courage.’"officeholders also remember a national figure who still wanted to know exactly what was happening in her hometown.
