Senators Feinstein and Boxer were elected in 1992 together. But Senator Feinstein was elected to fill the seat of then-Senator Pete Wilson who became California governor. Senator Feinstein was sworn into office a few days after the 1992 November election while Senator Boxer was sworn in January of 1993.
