Dianne Feinstein
San Francisco, CA — California Senator Dianne Feinstein, 89, is hospitalized in San Francisco, due to shingles.
Her office states that she was diagnosed sometime last month and expects to make a full recovery. Feinstein says in a statement, “I hope to return to the Senate later this month.”
Shingles is a non-life-threatening viral infection that causes a painful rash.
Feinstein has served six terms in office, after first being elected in 1992. She recently announced that she will not seek re-election in 2024.
