See our farming leadership speaking on the passing of Senator Feinstein in the article below. Senator Feinstein has been a great advocate for California water and Agriculture. Farmers quoted in the article include: John Harris, Cannon Michael, William Bourdeau, and Joe Del Bosque discussing the importance of a strong water advocate to replace Senator Feinstein. John Harris, a pillar in the farming community, suggests Jim Costa, Democratic Congressman from the Valley who has supported Ag and water for years. However, declared democratic candidates for Senator Feinstein seat so far include: Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff . Senator Padilla has stated that water is a priority for him as well. That said, the appointment by the Governor will be an pivotal for the security of California water and filling the shoes of Senator Feinstein will be a tall order. Thank you for your service Senator.
