WASHINGTON — California Sen. Barbara Boxer held back tears as she delivered her formal farewell to the Senate on Wednesday, capping a four-decade political career as a liberal fighter that began in 1972 on the Marin County Board of Supervisors.
With the surprising exception of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, her California colleague of 24 years, Boxer was joined in the Senate chamber by numerous allies and one-time foes from both parties, along with members of her family, all gathered to wish her well. Boxer reserved a special hug for her longtime friend, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, who arrived with a dozen House colleagues to hear her send-off.
Feinstein’s absence was glaring because she and Boxer arrived together in the Senate in 1992, symbols of the “Year of the Woman” when they and other women made big inroads into the male-dominated institution. The two have steered clear of disputes during their time in the Senate and put up a united front on state issues.
