“Today, as we mourn the passing of Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver, I am reminded of the profound impact she had on my life and career. Sheila Oliver believed in my abilities and granted me my first opportunity to chair an Assembly Committee. I will forever cherish the trust she placed in me to lead the Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness. Her visionary leadership as the Assembly Speaker and then as Lt. Governor was a guiding light that inspired me and many others. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities she bestowed upon me and the lasting legacy she leaves behind.” – Assemblywoman Annette Quijano
