For the first time in a generation, Californians may not be represented by a woman senator. Boxer and Feinstein were both elected in 1992, the so-called Year of the Woman in American politics.
The job, one of the most coveted in California politics, is rarely open. Feinstein was in the Senate for more than three decades, and Sen. Barbara Boxer served for nearly a quarter-century.
The candidates tried to emphasize their unique flavors of progressive politics. Schiff focused on his decades of experience in Washington... Porter struck a populist tone... Lee leaned on her longtime progressive, antiwar credentials.
