Sen. Dianne Feinstein is calling on Mayor Ed Lee to run for a full four-year term, saying she believes "San Francisco needs his steady leadership and unifying presence in City Hall."
In a statement released to us late Tuesday, Feinstein said that despite Lee's earlier pledge not to run, "his responsibility is to the people of San Francisco, and the voters alone should determine whether this talented public servant should continue on the job."
Feinstein cited the former city administrator's success with both the budget and pension reform, and her own "unusual circumstances" in becoming mayor after the 1978 assassination of Mayor George Moscone.
