Feinstein was a Washington trailblazer who, among other accomplishments, became the first woman to head the influential Senate Intelligence Committee.
Feinstein joined the Senate in 1992 after winning a special election and was reelected five times, including in 2018, along the way becoming the longest-serving woman senator ever.
Health issues slowed Feinstein late in her career, when she was the oldest senator at the time.
She ran for governor in 1990, winning the Democratic primary but losing to Republican Pete Wilson in the general election.
Feinstein then ran in 1992 for the Senate seat that Wilson had previously held, easily defeating the Republican appointed to the seat.
