Feinstein trying for 5th full term? Invites go out for fundraiser
California U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 82, has sent the first signals that she intends to run for a fifth term — invitations to a Washington, D.C., fundraiser for her 2018 campaign went out Thursday.

Feinstein has not announced her plans, but news of a fundraiser created a buzz in California’s Democratic establishment, which has been debating whether the former San Francisco mayor — now the oldest member of the U.S. Senate — will pursue a fifth term in the 2018 election, when she will be age 85.

The invite to “join Sen. Feinstein for dinner” on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Bistro Bis was issued by “Linda Hall Daschle, the honorable Tom Daschle and Baker Donelson Berkowitz PAC” for an event benefiting “Feinstein for Senate 2018,” according to a copy obtained by The Chronicle. Tom Daschle is a former U.S. senator from South Dakota.

The tickets to the event are $2,000 to host, and $1,000 for dinner guests. “Please make contributions payable to Feinstein for Senate 2018,” the invitation reads.
