Diane Feinstein dead at 90: The California senator was a historic politician and former San Francisco mayor
-- has died, multiple sources confirm to ABC News. She was 90.
In announcing that she planned to retire at the end of her latest term, in 2025, Feinstein said: "Each of us was sent here to solve problems. That's what I've done for the last 30 years, and that's what I plan to do for the next two years. My thanks to the people of California for allowing me to serve them."
She said what she found most surprising about Feinstein was that devotion to the institution -- outside of politics. "Their mother was both emotionally and physically abusive. She [Feinstein] was very much the matriarchal figure in terms of protecting her younger sisters and taking the brunt of things," Roberts said.
After serving six years on California women's sentencing board, Feinstein ran for -- and won -- a race to be on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, beginning the first of three terms in 1970.
