Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif., released the following statement after Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., announced she will not seek reelection and will retire at the end of her current term:
“California is going to miss having Barbara Boxer in Congress. Throughout her career, as a journalist, a Congressional aide, a County Supervisor, a U.S Representative and a four-term Senator, she used her voice to fight for equality and opportunity for all Californians.
“Barbara was a wonderful representative for the Central Coast in the Senate. A fellow champion of the environment, she and I worked together to bring the White House’s first National Oceans Conference to the Monterey Bay, create the Ventana Wilderness and establish Pinnacles National Park. Her efforts will leave a lasting mark on our corner of California. I will miss working with her in Washington but I look forward to our continued friendship.”
