Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday that she will not seek reelection in 2024, ending her more than 30-year tenure in the Senate. She intends to focus on her 2018 campaign priorities of preventing and combating wildfires, mitigating the effects of record-setting drought, responding to the homelessness crisis, and ensuring all Americans have access to affordable, high-quality health care until 2021. Feinstein is the first woman to serve as a U.S. senator from California and is the longest-serving female senator in American history, and her announcement has already sparked a competitive primary race for her seat in 2024.
