Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the statement below following the death of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.):

“Sen. Feinstein was a trailblazer in American politics. She passionately defended civil rights, was an ally to the LGBTQ community, and was a tireless champion for America’s children. I was grateful to work with her on comprehensive immigration reform and learn from her on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Susan and I are thinking of the Feinstein family during this difficult time.”
