RESPECTS TO SOMEONE THAT MEANT
SO MUCH TO SO MANY OF US ARE
GOING TO WAIT ON US TO.

MISTER PRESIDENT THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
COLLEAGUES I RISE TODAY TO
ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF OUR FRIEND
IN OUR COLLEAGUE NANCY MCFADDEN.
WHO PASSED AWAY ON MARCH TWENTY
SECOND AFTER FIGHTING OVARIAN
CANCER FOR MUCH OF THE PAST
SEVENTEEN YEARS?
NANCY HAD ONE OF THE MOST
CHALLENGING JOBS IN POLITICS.
CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE MOST
ACTIVE AN EFFECTIVE GOVERNOR IN
AMERICA.
SHE MEANT SO MUCH TO THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND TO
CALIFORNIA'S RECOVERY FROM THE
DEPTHS OF RECESSION.
SHE WAS THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
BEHIND MANY OF OUR RECENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
NAVIGATING THROUGH PAINFUL
BUDGET DEFICITS BUILDING
STRATEGIC RESERVES TO SECURE
BOTH OUR STATE'S FINANCES AND
OUR WATER.
BROKERING HISTORIC BIPARTISAN
DEALS ON TRANSPORTATION AND CAP
AND TRADE JUST LAST YEAR.
SHE DID HER JOB WITH INTEGRITY
AND WITH GRACE
TOILING IN THE BACKGROUND OF SO
MANY MEANINGFUL PUBLIC DEBATES.
ALL WHILE FIGHTING HER OWN
PRIVATE BATTLE WITH CANCER.
FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS NANCY
WOULD ROUTINELY PUT IN A FIFTY
HOUR WORK WEEK BY THURSDAY
EVENING BEFORE LEAVING FOR
CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS ON
FRIDAY MOST OF US DIDN'T KNOW
THAT.
AND YET DESPITE THOSE PROFOUND
PROFESSIONAL EXISTENTIAL BURDENS
SHE ALSO FOUND TIME TO BE A
FRIEND A MENTOR. A ROLE MODEL TO
COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THIS
BUILDING AND ACROSS HER
COMMUNITY.
THAT LEGACY OF KINDNESS EXTENDS
ACROSS A GENERATION FROM HER
ALMA MATERS OF SAN JOSE STATE
UNIVERSITY. AND THE UNIVERSITY
OF VIRGINIA LAW SCHOOL.
TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
TRAIL OF THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FROM THE CLINTON WHITE HOUSE TO
THE GOVERNOR'S HORSESHOE UNDER
GRAY DAVIS AND JERRY BROWN.
HER POLITICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
REMARKABLE AND HISTORIC AS THEY
ARE. ARE MATCHED ONLY BY THE
LASTING FRIENDSHIPS THAT MEANS
HEBUILT. THE CAREERS THAT SHE
HELPED SHAPE THE INVALUABLE
INSPIRATION THAT SHE GAVE TO SO
MANY.
AND I DON'T SAY THAT LIGHTLY
BECAUSE SHE LEAVES AN INDELIBLE
MARK ON OUR POLITICAL HISTORY.
I MEAN IT SINCERELY AND I SPEAK
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE SAT ACROSS THE TABLE FROM
HER IN INTENSE SEEMINGLY
HOPELESS NEGOTIATIONS I DIDN'T
SEE THE END IN SIGHT. LATE INTO
THE NIGHT AND LATE INTO THE
LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
I SAW HER IN ACTION WHEN
EVERYTHING WAS ON THE LINE EVERY
BIT THE FIERCE CREATIVE
DETERMINED. PROBLEM SOLVER THAT
PEOPLE REMEMBER.
BUT ALSO KNEW HER AS A FRIEND A
THOUGHTFUL COMPASSIONATE KIND
INDIVIDUAL WHO ALWAYS FOUND THE
STRENGTH TO GIVE OF HERSELF.
AND THAT'S A RARE QUALITY
ESPECIALLY IN OUR FIELD.
SO MANY OF US GET CAUGHT UP IN
TRYING TO WIN THE RAT RACE
TAKING SHORTCUTS
TREATING OUR FELLOW TRAVELERS AS
COMPETITION.
NANCY WAS BUSY BLAZING HER OWN
TRAIL.
AND NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT HER
JOURNEY BECAME SHE ALWAYS STOP
TO LINDA HAND TO THOSE
STRUGGLING ALONG THE WAY AND
MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THAT.
BETWEEN HER WORK AND HER PRIVATE
LIFE NEEDS HE HAS TOUCHED
LITERALLY MILLIONS OF LIVES.
SHE FIERCELY BELIEVED IN HER
STAFF.
THE WORD I WOULD USE MOSTLY TO
TALK ABOUT NANCY WAS FIERCE.
IN SO MANY WAYS.
SHE FIERCELY BELIEVED IN HER
STAFF.
SHE WAS FIERCELY PROUD OF HER
STAFF SHE WAS FIERCELY
PROTECTIVE OF HER STAFF.
I KNOW.
.
THAT YOU HER STAFF ARE GOING TO
MISS HER MORE THAN ANYONE YOU'RE
GOING TO FEEL HER ABSENCE EVERY
SINGLE MINUTE.
BUT WHAT NANCY WOULD EXPECT I
THINK.
IS THAT YOU CHANNEL THAT ENERGY.
WE HAVE LOST AN ENERGY.
BUT NANCY WOULD EXPECT EACH OF
YOUTO CHALLENGED.
YOURSELVES.
TO CHANNEL THAT ENERGY AND DO
THE WORK THAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED
TO DO. BECAUSE SHE SET YOU ON
THE PATH TO DO THAT.
SO SHE LEAVES BEHIND HER YOUNGER
BROTHER BILL.
HER DO YOUR FRIENDS TO GOVERNOR
BROWN AND YANK US BROWN. ALL OF
HER CAPITAL COLLEAGUES HER STAFF
AND A VAST CHOSEN FAMILY.
SHE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.
VICKI SO MUCH.
MATTER PRO TEN MEMBERS WE
WELCOME OTHERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO
BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE MS
MCFADDEN.
BERNIE TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
SENATOR HERTZBERG.
AMONG THE.
MANY. THOUGHTS.
THAT.
COME ACROSS MY MIND WHEN I THINK
ABOUT. NANCY IS INVISIBLE
HISTORY.
INVISIBLE HISTORY.
THERE ARE SO MONEY.
WHO IN SO MANY PLACES?
STAND ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE
PAPERS AND.
RESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR
DOING ALL THE GREAT THINGS.
BUT BEHIND THEM.
OUR A UNIQUE ARE USUALLY UNIQUE
PEOPLE AND IN THIS CASE A
PARTICULARLY UNIQUE PERSON. WHO
HAS BEEN THERE IN SO MANY
RESPECTS
SOLVING SO MANY DE PROBLEMS
AFFECTING SO MANY?
THE OPPORTUNITY TALK MY DEAR
FRIEND MICKEY KANTOR.
WHO SERVED AS THE CHAIRMAN OF A
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND?
LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS THE GENERAL
COUNSEL.
WAS A YOUNG NANCY MCFADDEN.
AND HE TOLD ME WAY BACK WHEN AND
AMBER MEDIA BACK IN THOSE DAYS
WAS THAT SHE WAS THE KIND OF
PERSON. WHO ALWAYS GOT THE JOB
DONE?
WHO ALWAYS IN THOSE DAYS UNTIL
ALL OF US KNOW? FOR THE MOST
RECENT.
DID WITH DEEP TRUST.
AND HE HAD THIS UNCANNY ABILITY
TO SAY NO.
WHICH IS A HARD THING TO DO IN
POLITICS PARTICULARLY CAMPAIGN
TIMES.
AND STILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD
ABOUT YOURSELF A VERY UNIQUE
TERENCE.
WHETHER WHEN SHE WAS WORKING
WITH RODNEY SLATER WHEN I HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH HER
DURING THE ENERGY CRISIS AGE SHE
CAME IN AS A STEADY HAND WHEN.
THE WHEELS ARE COMING OFF THE
TRAIN HAS SOME OF US IN THIS
CHAMBER REMEMBER.
SHE CAME IN AND SAT DOWN AND
THOUGHT THROUGH WOULD HELP
ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND QUITE
FRANKLY GIVE. THE TOP BRASS IN
HER ADMINISTRATION.
A STEADY HAND CITY GUIDANCE.
OVER DEALING WITH VERY DIFFICULT
TIMES AND NO ONE REALLY
UNDERSTOOD WE'RE GOING.
IF THE SCHWARZENEGGER
ADMINISTRATION MOST DON'T KNOW
BUT SHE WAS PART OF THE INNER
CIRCLE WITH MARIA SHRIVER AND
BEST FRIENDS. AND SO OFTEN IN
THAT NOTION AND IDEA OF
INVISIBLE HISTORY I CAN'T TELL
YOU HOW MANY TIMES THAT WERE
BUDGET CUTS ARE THINGS THAT
AFFECTED FOSTER KIDS OR
DEVELOPMENT DISABLED OR OTHER
ISSUES. AND SHE WAS IN THE ROOM
AND SHE WAS A VOICE TO PROTECT
THOSE FOLKS.
NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT
NOT OF THOSE PEOPLE KNEW IT WAS
NANCY MCFADDEN THE PROTECT THEIR
BENEFITS ARE MADE SURE THAT THEY
WERE. CUT PROTECTED TO TWENTY
ONE YEARS OLD IF YOU'RE A FOSTER
KID I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY
EXAMPLES I WITNESSED IN THAT
REGARD BUT IT WAS NANCY MCFADDEN
WHO DID THAT.
AND CERTAINLY.
WE NOW KNOW WITH RESPECT TO THE
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS THE
PRO TEM CORRECTLY ARTICULATED
HER EXTRAORDINARY.
ABILITY THAT I THINK WAS.
EVIDENCED BY THIS UNBELIEVABLE
CORE TEAM AND TRUST
AND CONFIDENCE YOU KNOW I MEAN
ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM
IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTY IN THE
OTHER. HOUSE HAVE STORY AFTER
STORY WITH A WENT TO NANCY TO
FIX THIS OR FIX THAT NEED JUST
GOT DONE.
YOU KNOW I WAS JUST SO MANY
FIGHTS AND SO.
I RETURN WHY START INVISIBLE
HISTORY.
SO MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENS YOU KNOW
WE TALK ABOUT THE ROOM WHERE IT
HAPPENED.
WELL SHE WAS IN THE ROOM AND SHE
MADE IT HAPPEN.
SHE DIDN'T GET THE CREDIT.
I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND
UNFORTUNATELY SO MANY OF THE
STORIES RELATE TO HER UNTIMELY
PASSING.
BUT IF YOU LOOK HISTORICALLY
STORY AFTER STORY SHE SAW THEM.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU AS A WITNESS
TO THAT INVISIBLE HISTORY SHE
WAS THERE. I'M TELLING YOU THAT
SHE WAS ONE OF THOSE FORCES OF
NATURE THAT MADE STUFF HAPPENED
IN A MAGICAL WAY.
SHE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL OF US
AND EVERYBODY IN CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SOONER
HERTZBERG.
BUT AS YOU CAN THE SENATE WE'D
LIKE TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
LEADER PACK MATES.
BUT THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT I
CERTAINLY JOIN ALL OF US THIS
MORNING ARE AYE IN OUR.
REMEMBERING NOW SEE ON SHARING
OUR DEEP SADNESS CENTER PASSING
AND RECOGNIZING THAT WHAT FOR
SHE WAS I WILL SAY. INDIVIDUALLY
I WHEN I MET WITH NANCY I FELT
THIS SINCERE. AND EARNEST
ATTEMPT TO FIND A PATH OF FOR ME
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE GOAL AND I
THINK THAT THAT AS UNIQUE.
FOUGHT IN THE MANNER IN WHICH
YOU CHRIS PUB PRESIDED. AND
PRESENTED HERSELF HALT WITH
PERHAPS CONTROVERSY LEGISLATION
THAT SHE KNEW PERHAPS HER BOSS
WOULDN'T LIKE BUT SHE WAS REALLY
INTENT ON HELPING WITH THE
BIPARTISAN APPROACH. OUGHT TO
OUR GOALS HERE IN THE
LEGISLATURE BY YOU ALL KNOW HER
HISTORY BETTER THAN I.
I REALLY GOT TO KNOW NANCY.
THIS YEAR OR THIS THIS TERM
HALT BEFORE HER A COUPLE TIMES
ON THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE ALL
STRUGGLED HERE. WITH BECAUSE WE
ALL AS I'VE SAID MANY TIMES WE
HAVE THE SAME GOAL TO TO SERVE
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA WHO
SENT US HERE. I THINK SHE STANDS
OUT BECAUSE HE AS AN ICON IN OUT
OF SERVING AT MANY LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT AND NO ONE HAS A
CAREER THAT LONG. WITHOUT HAVING
A DEEP AND ABIDING FAITH IN OUR
PROCESS FAITH IN DEMOCRACY AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY AND FAITH IN
THE PEOPLE THAT SHE WORKS WITH
AND FAITH IN THE PEOPLE THAT SHE
WORKS FOR. SO WHEN I HEARD OF
HER PASSING I WAS AT HOME AND
IMMEDIATELY CUT A LUMP IN MY
THROAT THINKING THIS WAS SUCH A
GREAT WOMAN. WHO STRUGGLED AWE
AND MANY OF US DID NOT KNOW THAT
STRUGGLED WITH A VERY
DEVASTATING ILLNESS AND?
YOU JUST TOOK A MOMENT OF
SILENCE PRAYER AT THAT TIME.
WISHING HER WELL ON HER HA PATH
TO THE HIGHEST PLACE ARE I
BELIEVE EXISTS FOR ALL OF US
FOLLOWED THE PATH BEYOND. THE
OTHER HOUSE ABOVE US
SO ARE ON BEHALF OF MY
COLLEAGUES I HEAR ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE I THINK THE
SHARE THAT SAME. FEELING ABOUT
NANCY ANYONE OF US WHO WHO WENT
TO SEE HER ABOUT AN ISSUE WORDS

HEART AN OPEN MIND AND SINCERE
INTEREST IN HELPING US REACH OUR
GOAL.

FAMILY. GOLF THOUGHTS ARE ON HER
WAY TO A BETTER PLACE AND THAT
SHE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN OUR
HEARTS AND OUR MINDS OF SOMEONE

SKINNER PARTS INTERRELATE.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.
MEMBERS I.

BEHALF OF MANY OF US.
WHO EACH HAD A SPECIAL
CONNECTION WITH NANCY MAKE
FATTEN?
MY MEMORY OF NANCY THE TWO
CELLPHONES ONE IN EACH HAND.
JUGGLING A MILLION ISSUES.
BUT WHEN SHE WAS LISTENING TO
YOUR ISSUE. YOUR THE ONLY PERSON
IN THE ROOM YOU WERE THE ONLY
ISSUE. THAT SHE CARED ABOUT IN
SHE GAVE YOU THE SENSE.
THAT YEAR ISSUE WAS DESERVING OF
HER ATTENTION OF THE GOVERNOR'S
ATTENTION. AND I'LL JUST SHARE
ONE.
NANCY MCFADDEN STORY WE HAD A
GROUP OF WORKERS UP HERE FROM.
MONTEREY COUNTY.
OAXACAN IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE
TESTIFYING ON A LABOR BILL.
PRESENTED BY FORMER PRO TEM.
STEINBERG.
AND WE HAD TO USE INTERPRETATION
FROM TRICKY TO SPANISH TO
ENGLISH.
AND AFTER THE BILL PASSED
THE WORKERS WHO HAD NEVER BEEN
TO SACRAMENTO. HAD NEVER
TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF A HEARING.
WERE MOVING OUT INTO THE HALLWAY
ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
AND I FOLLOWED THE MOUNT TO.
OFFER. GREETINGS IN QUINCY
NATALIE.
THE GOVERNOR NANCY IN A SMALL
ENTOURAGE WERE MOVING AT A FAST
CLIP DOWN THE HALLWAY.
AND I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THESE WORKERS TO MEET THE
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
THE GOVERNOR WAS INTENT MOVING
QUICKLY I GOT NANCY'S ATTENTION
I SAID BE SO GREAT IF THE
GOVERNOR COULD JUST WELCOME
THESE WORKERS FROM MONTEREY
COUNTY.
AND THE GOVERNOR WAS KIND OF
DOING MAYBE A RISK ASSESSMENT.
WHAT WAS THE BILL?
WHERE DO THEY HERE FOR?
BUT NANCY.
WAS GUIDING THE GOVERNOR TOWARDS
THE WORKERS WITH A GENTLE HAND
IN THE BACK.
THE GOVERNOR EXTENDED HIS HAND
MET THE WORKERS. AND WHEN I
MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE FROM
GREEN FIELDS CALIFORNIA.
HE STARTED I KNOW GREEN FIELD
AND STARTED SHARING A STORY
ABOUT HIS CONNECTION WITH
GREENFIELD CALIFORNIA.
WE GOT A PHOTO.
I GOT AN EMAIL THE NEXT DAY FROM
ONE OF THE COMMUNITY WORKERS WHO
ACCOMPANIED THE WORKERS UP TO
SACRAMENTO.
THEY SAID.
ALL THE TRIP HOME THE THREE HOUR
DRIVE BACK TO GREEN FIELD ALL
THEY COULD DO WAS TALK ABOUT
MEETING. THE GOVERNOR OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THEY HAD THE PHOTOS THEY WILL
CARRY THOSE PHOTOS FOR EVER.
NANCY WAS NOT IN THAT PHOTO.
IN IS MY GOOD FRIEND FROM LA
POINTED.
SHE WAS THE SILENT FORCE
WHO BROUGHT. THAT PHOTO TOGETHER
WHO CONNECTED THE GOVERNOR WITH
WORKERS WHO FEEL.
PART OF THIS STATE. RECOGNIZED
AND WELCOMED BY THE GOVERNOR.
WE'RE GONNA MISS NANCY SHE
HELPED ME ON A LOT OF TOUGH
BILLS.
VIVA NANCY MAKE FAN THANK YOU.
WELL SAID MISS MAJORITY LEADER.
SENATOR SKINNER.
THANK YOU MEMBERS.
AND I KNOW THAT MANY OF MY
COLLEAGUES WHO ARE GOING TO JOIN
IN TODAY ORGANISED SAY MANY MORE
THINGS ABOUT.
THE VERY SUBSTANTIAL.
SIGNIFICANT.
AND.
DIRECT ROLE THAT NANCY MCFADDEN
PLAYED.
IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE THE
SUCCESS SOARED THE DELIVERY OF
SOME OF THE MOST KEY POLICIES
THAT THE STATE. HAS ENACTED OVER
THE LAST.
I MANY YEARS.
BUT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT TWO
THINGS FIRST ISN'T IT CLASSIC.
THAT IS THE WOMAN.
BUT IS THE FORCE OF NATURE WHO
PLAY SUCH A ROLE.
IN KEY POLICY DEVELOPMENT.
AND THE OTHER THINGS IT WILL BE
DESCRIBED. AND YET GOES
UNDOCUMENTED PUBLICLY WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT IT.
BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW.
AND NANCY MAY HAVE WRITTEN SOME
MEMOIRS THAT COULD BE TURNED
INTO A BOOK AND OTHER PEOPLE
COULDN'T HYPE HOPE THEY DO BUT
AS FAR AS I KNOW.
AS
MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE VALLEY
SPOKE ABOUT.
IT'S NOT THERE WHEN YOU GOING TO
COLLECT
SO I URGE ALL OF US.
WHO WERE THE DIRECT BY WITNESS
TO THE ROLE THAT SHE PLAYED?
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS IN THE
PUBLIC RECORD FOR POSTERITY.
BECAUSE IT DESERVES TO BE.
AND NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT MY
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
IN MY THIRD YEAR IN THE
ASSEMBLY.
MY SISTER I HAVE MANY SISTERS
MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT THIS WAS
MY SISTER SHARED A BED WITH
GROWING UP.
SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FOURTH
STAGE OVARIAN CANCER.
AND.
I.
I WAS BESIDE MYSELF OF COURSE
SHE LIVED IN VERY RURAL
WASHINGTON STATE WE HAD NOT HAD
A LOT OF CONTACT BECAUSE OF OUR
DISTANCES IN SUCH.
BUT I NGUYEN STAYED WITH HER.
AND I CALLED NANCY BANG NUMBER
OF TIMES DURING THAT EXPERIENCE
SHE WAS REALLY A STRONG SUPPORT
FOR ME. UNFORTUNATELY MY OWN
SISTER DIED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF
HER DIAGNOSIS
BUT NANCY WAS SO.
SO THERE FOR ME AND SHARED SO
MANY THINGS BOTH DURING MY
SISTER STRUGGLE AND THEN AFTER
HER PASSING.
SO HE IS GOING TO BE MESSED SO

I WILL NEVER FORGET NGUYEN TWO
OF MY BILLS THAT ARE ON WOMEN'S
ISSUES THE STATURE LIMITATION ON
RATE. AND EXTENDING OVER TIME
FOR DOMESTIC WORKERS PERMANENTLY

DESK.
NANCY CAME AND MET WITH ME IN MY
STAFF WITH SOME VERY SERIOUS
CONVERSATIONS. AND I KNOW THAT
SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN GOING
BACK TO THE GOVERNOR FOR GETTING
THOSE TWO BILLS SIGNED BY HIM.
THERE'S A SAYING THAT YOU DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT PEOPLE SAY BUT YOU
REMEMBER HOW THEY MAKE YOU FEEL.
AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT

THEM AND SHE HELPED MOVE ALL

AND THE GREATEST BEAUTY WAS HER
INNER BEAUTY.
INNER STRENGTH.

EXPERIENCES WITH* OVER THE
YEARS AS SHE WAS IN GOVERNMENT
AND FOR A TIME WHEN SHE WAS NOT.
IN GOVERNMENT.
WORKING IN DOING ADVOCACY.
ALWAYS.
THEY'RE ALWAYS STRONG AND ALWAYS

OF THE ISSUES.
THAT ALWAYS.
REPAIRED.
I REMEMBER ONE DAY AND I'M ONLY
GOING TO RECITE A COUPLE OF
EXPERIENCES BUT.
I WAS AT SUTTER CLUB FOR SPEECH.
THE DECEMBER BEFORE LAST.
SHE WERE SITTING OUT NO HALLWAY
AND WHEN SHE WAS SITTING OUT THE
HALLWAY I KNEW THE GOVERNOR MUST
BE SOMEWHERE NEAR.
AND I'D SAID TO HURT NANCY WOULD
YOU PLEASE.
WHEN YOU SEE THE GOVERNOR AGAIN
A FEW MINUTES.
EXPRESS. MARYLAND MY SENTIMENTS
FOR AMERICA'S MOST.
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
SHE GRABBED ME BY THE ARM AND
PULLED ME INTO THIS MORE PRIVATE
ROOM THERE. WERE THERE WAS
ASSEMBLY OF SOME TRULY GREAT
PEOPLE.
PRESIDED OVER BY ANGELA SKOPELOS
AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
WATER.
AND AS SHE'S POEM IN THE DOOR
SHOULD NANCY I DON'T BELONG
HERE.
I WASN'T INVITED TO THIS DINNER
NO NO YOU YOU BELONG HERE.
AS SHE SAT ME DOWN NEXT THE
GOVERNOR WE HAVE TALK ABOUT
WATER WELL THAT WAS AN ISSUE
IMPORTANT TO ME.
BUT I WAS KIND OF AND ALL THAT
NEED.
WOULD BE PULLED INTO SUCH A
MEETING.
BUT THE VOLITION.
THAT NANCY.
THE GREATEST TESTIMONY. TO THE
QUALITY AND THE CHARACTER OF A
HUMAN BEING.
THAT'S HOW THEY DEAL WITH.
VERY VERY DIFFICULT
CIRCUMSTANCES.
BUT WE HAD THE NEWS THAT NANCY
WAS TAKING SOME LEAVE.
MY FIRST THOUGHTS.
AND PRAYERS.
THE IS NOT WHICH WOULD NOT BE
SERIOUS.

AND AS FORWARD LOOKING.
AS I EVER KNEW HER TO BE.

OKAY CENTER NIELSEN.
MEMBERS WE LIKE TO TURN THE
FLOOR OVER TO SENATOR BELL.
SENATOR PAN AND SENATOR GLAZERS.
MEMBERS.
.
MY.
GROUP WORK WITH NANCY GOES BACK
TO WHEN SHE WAS A SOPHOMORE AT
SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY.
AND.
.
THIS YOUNG WOMAN WORKED A. AT
THE UNIVERSITY. AND LATER HAD A
VERY CONTENTIOUS ELECTION.
I THINK IT WAS HER ONLY ELECTION
THAT SHE RAN FOR OFFICE AND.
WHERE SHE ACTUALLY WAS ELECTED
STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT?
OF SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY
OVER.
THIS.
POLITICAL.
.
GUY THAT WAS LIKE REAL.
KIND OF.
.
A TOUGH POLITICAL GUY NAMED JOE
TRIPPI.
IF YOU KNOW JOE TRIPPI.
NOW JOE TRIPPI.
WHO I'D KNOWN FOR SINCE THAT
TIME ALSO? HAS ALWAYS.
TALKED ABOUT HELL NANCY DEFEATED
HIM.
AND IT REALLY RUBBED HIM.
BUT QUITE A BIT.
NANCY ON THE OTHER HAND.
ONE AYE SHE NEVER BRINGS IT UP
WHEN I MENTION IT SHE ALWAYS
USED TO HAVE A BIG SMILE. ON HER
FACE.
WHEN WE RECOLLECTED ELECTION.
FOR STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT.
NANCY.
GREW UP IN SAN JOSE AND WENT TO
PROSPECT HIGH SCHOOL.
AND.
.
HAD HER.
.
A VERY ACTIVE SHE WAS A VERY
ACTIVE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE.
AND IN HIGH SCHOOL SHE. WAS A
SONG GIRL.
THAT PROSPECT HIGH SCHOOL AND
SHE'S PROBABLY PARIS AND I
MENTIONED THIS BUT I'LL DO IT
RIGHT NOW.
OF LAST FALL I WENT TO THE
CENTER OF THE STATE.
UNIVERSITY.
.
AND.
.
WE TALKED ABOUT SO.
NANCY AND. THEY WERE SO PROUD OF
HER.
IBM ALUMNI OF THE UNIVERSITY.
IN FACT I BELIEVE THEY'RE
PLANNING TO DO SOME.
THE VENTS FOR NANCY AT THE SAN
JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY.
PROSPECT HIGH SCHOOL HE WENT TO
WITH MY STEPSON GREG. WHO LOVES
TO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
GAMES?
WE WENT TO A FOOTBALL GAME LAST
FALL.
AND THE SONG GIRLS HAD A.
.
TABLE OUT THERE.
AND THEY WERE SELLING PROSPECT
HIGH SCHOOL SOCKS.
YOU KNOW WHAT SAID PROSPECT HIGH
SCHOOL WITH THE COLORS OF THE
SCHOOLS SO.
I SAID.
I GOT A BY NANCY A PAIR OF
SOCKS.
SO I BOUGHT HER A PAIR OF SOCKS
AND I WENT TO HER OFFICE.
SHORTLY THEREAFTER IN GAMERS OF
SOCKS AND SHE WAS VERY VERY
HAPPY. THAT SHE HAD HER
PROSPECTS HIGH SCHOOL SOCKS.
I.
.
I.
.
ALSO MENTIONED THROUGH THE SONG
GIRLS ARE DOING WONDERFUL AT
PROSPECT HIGH SCHOOL.
.
NANCY.
ALSO WORK WITH MAY ACTUALLY
EARLY WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED
TO CITY COUNCIL WHEN SHE WAS.
A BEGINNING STAFFER FOR
COUNCILWOMAN I'LL WILLIAMS WHO
WAS THE FIRST.
AFRICAN AMERICAN COUNCIL MEMBER.
IN SAN JOSE.
AND I ARE LATER BECAME THE
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEAGUE OF CITIES.
AND I THINK OUR LOW WAS AN EARLY
MENTOR OF NANCY.
AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER SHE WENT
TO LAW SCHOOL. AND KNOW ON AND
ON AND ON TO ALL THE THINGS THAT
SHE DID IN HER LIFE.
BUT.
.
THE WORK THAT I HAVE WITH NANCY.
WAS RIGHT TO THE END.
AND THE WORK WE DID LAST YEAR.
WAS JUST WONDERFUL WORKING ON
HOUSING. TRANSPORTATION.
THE PROGRAMS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES.
.
ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE WORKED
ON WERE JUST WHAT SHE DID JUST A
WONDERFUL JOB.
AND I AND I AND I WANT TO
CONGRATULATE.
ABOUT ALL THE THINGS.
THAT GOVERNOR BROWN DID.
IN HIS CAREER.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD ONLY HAVE
HALF AS MANY THINGS DONE.
DIVIDEND HAVE NASA MCFADDEN.
BECAUSE THEY THINK SHE CREATED A
ABILITY TO FOCUS THE GOVERNOR.
ON THE ISSUES.
AND SHE REALLY ASSISTED HIM IN
HER QUIET WAY.
AND GETTING THE JOB DONE.
AND BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN HIM
AND THAT'S WHAT A GOOD STAFF
MEMBER DOES BRINGS OUT THE BEST
IN THE MEMBERS.
AND THE GOVERNOR REALLY I THINK.
BENEFITTED.
BY HER WORK FOR HIM.
SO WE HAVE TO APPRECIATE.
A GOOD.
STAFF MEMBER.
A GOOD LEADER. ENTER QUIET WAY.
AND.
I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO. HONOR
HER.
IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND WE
WILL AT SAN JOSE STATE
UNIVERSITY.

I SHE A STUDENT LEADER I SAN
JOSE. STATE OBVIOUS TO THE
LEADER AT SAN DIEGO STATE. AND
THAT WE WOULD HAVE MEETINGS
EVERY MONTH TOGETHER BECAUSE WE
WERE PART OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION.
AND THESE MEETINGS TOOK PLACE
ALL THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA ALL
THE CAMPUSES.
AND.
.
I.
OUR RELATIONSHIP BEGAN HIS
COLLEAGUES AS FRIENDS.
AND THAT IT AT ONE POINT IN OUR
STUDENT CAREER SHE WAS MY BOSS.
SO THAT WAS ALSO FUN.
TO HAVE.
AND SO. SHE WENT OFF AFTER OUR
FOR OUR FOR MANY YEARS TOGETHER
TO LAW SCHOOL AND THEN INTO
POLITICS AND I JUST I JUST WENT
RIGHT DIRECTLY INTO POLITICS.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO REGRET FOR
NOT HAVING THAT LAW DEGREE.
AND
BUT SHE.
THAT.
SHE OBVIOUSLY HAD DONE MANY
GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN HER
PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND I I
REMEMBER IN TWO THOUSAND TEN.
AT THE END OF THE GUBERNATORIAL
CAMPAIGN FOR JERRY BROWN AND WE
WERE FLYING AROUND THE STATE IS
ONE DOZEN THE LAST WEEK. FOR AN
ELECTION I'M KATHLEEN BROWN WAS
ON THE PLANE WITH US.
AND I REMEMBER VERY CLEARLY ON
THE TARMAC OF ONE OF THESE MANY
AT AIRPORTS STOPS WERE CAPPING
WENT UP TO JERRY THINGS WERE
LOOKING GOOD.
AND SAID TO HIM AND TO AND I
YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT
DANTE MCFADDEN AND YOUR FOR YOUR
ADMINISTRATION.
IS A VERY TALENTED PERSON AND I
THINK THAT SHE COULD BE. A GOOD
MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM.
AND OF COURSE.
JURY LISTENS WHICH DOES NOT
ALWAYS DO.
TO US FRIENDS AND OTHERS AND.
AND INTERVIEWED NANCY AND THAT
OF COURSE HIGHER DENSITY.
AND.
.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK
FOR JERRY BROWN.
AND.
IS AS MY FRIENDS I HEAR IN THE
BACK OF THE CHAMBERS NO.
BUT ONE OF THE AMAZING
QUALITIES THAT SHE HAD IT
WORKING FOR JERRY BROWN.
AND THIS IS A GREAT QUALITY FOR
STAFF EVERYWHERE IS THAT YOU CAN
BE A MERE THAT REFLECT BACK THE
POWER THE ENERGY THE ANXIETY THE
STRESSES. OF OF WHO YOU'RE
INTERACTING WITH OR YOU CAN BE A
SPONGE.
AND ABSORB ALL THAT ENERGY AND
ALL THAT.
STUFF THAT HAPPENS DIE IN IN
HIGH PROFILE JOBS AND ONE OF THE
GREATEST QUALITIES ABOUT NANCY
IS THAT SHE WAS A SPONGE.
SHE ABSORBED ALL OF THAT.
ENERGY SOME OF IT NEGATIVE THAT
WOULD FLY AROUND THESE POLITICAL
ISSUES THAT YOU WOULD DIRECTED
AT INAPPROPRIATE WAY FORWARD IN
THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE GOALS OF
THE OFFICE.
AND THAT WAS THAT'S AN AMAZING
QUALITY TO HAVE IN HIGH STRESS.
SITUATIONS THAT I KNOW THAT MY
FRIENDS HERE UNDERSTAND THAT
QUALITY.
THAT COME FROM WHAT WORKING FOR
AYE. A A CHALLENGING.
CHALLENGING BOSTON SHE
CERTAINLY HAD THAT.
I YOU KNOW SHE LOVES SAN JOSE AS
SENATOR BALLOTS ACKNOWLEDGED.
I WILL ALWAYS EVEN IN THE DAYS
WHEN SAN JOSE WASN'T SO GREAT.
AND AT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY IT HAD GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS.
IN THE CIVIC WORLD THERE BUT
SHE WAS A GREAT BOOSTER FOR THE
TOWN.
AND.
IT WAS MY HONOR IN AND
PRIVILEGE TO NOMINATE HER TO
RECEIVE AN HONORARY DEGREE FROM
SAN JOSE STATE. WHEN I WAS A
MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE STATE UNIVERSITIES.
AND THE BOARD APPROVE THAT
NOMINATION.
AND SO SHE WAS AWARDED THAT
HONORARY DEGREE AND THEY ASK HER
TO SPEAK TO ALL THE STUDENTS AS
THEIR GRADUATION SPEECH.
AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AND YOU
SHOULD READ HER REMARKS THAT SHE
OFFERED UP. THAT DAY SHE'S BEEN
A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT
LIFE.
AND ABOUT. THE PATH AHEAD FOR
ALL THESE KIDS.
AND WHAT A GREAT SPEECH AND WHAT
A GREAT FRIEND SHE WAS TO ALL OF
THEM TO SHARE HER WISDOM THAT
SHE HAD.
DURING THAT THOSE REMARKS.
BUT EVEN FROM THE TIME THAT I
MET HER FORTY ONE YEARS AGO TO
TODAY. AYE SHE HAD THE SAME
QUALITIES THAT YOU ALL SAW.
SHE WAS DIPLOMATIC.
AND SHE WAS DIRECT.
SHE WAS INTELLIGENT. AND SHE WAS
CHARMING.
I SHE HAD AN INNER STRENGTH THAT
MEANT THAT SHE COULD TALK TO
PEOPLE ABOVE AND BELOW WITH THE
SAME TONE. WITH THE SAME.
GRACIOUSNESS.
NEVER CHANGED ALTHOUGH THROUGH
OF ALL THOSE YEARS AND CERTAINLY
HER SMILE.
I'D NEVER CHANGED IT WOULD
ALWAYS LIGHT UP A ROOM.
AND MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE
WITH HER THERE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT SHE.
LOVES PEOPLE.
HE LOVED PEOPLE.
AND SHE LOVED FRIENDS.
AND.
SHE COLLECTED THEM UP.
LIKE YOU WOULD PENNIES IN YOUR
JOB ARE AT HOME AND NEVER GAVE
THEM AWAY. AND FOR ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT I. MET HER AND
INTERACTED WITH HER. YOU KNEW
THAT SHE LOVES.
HAVE YOU IS AS YOUR FRIEND.
HOW?
AND AT AS I.
AS I THINK ABOUT.
ALL THAT SHE HAS DONE IN HER
LIFE.
I THINK THAT THE.
EQUALITY THE ATTRIBUTE THAT.
STAYS WITH ME.
AND I THINK STAYS WITH SO MANY
IS THAT SHE WAS A GOOD.
BRENT.
AND WE WILL DEEPLY MISS HER.
THANK YOU CENTER GLACIER.
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO BE A
RETURN THE FLOOR OVER TO SENATOR
MITCHELL.
SENATE JACKSON THEN CENTER
WIENER.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.
AHA I HAVE THE DEEP.
RESPECT.
AND ADMIRATION.
FOR DIRECT.
CLEAR.
NO HYPERBOLE NO B. S. STRAIGHT
TALK.
I THINK IT IS A CORE CHARACTER
ASSET.
AND ONE THAT NANCY POSSESSED
WITHOUT QUESTION.
I WANT TO THANK MY SEAT MATE
WHO.
THE FORMER CHAIR OF THE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS AND CURRENT LEADERSHIP OF
WOMEN'S CAUCUS FOR ALLOWING
MEMBERS OF THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS TO
HAVE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. AND
AMAZING DINNER AND I'M HONORED
TO HAVE BEEN PRESENT IN THE
ROOM.
AND THESE DINNERS WERE A HOOT.
WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYBODY.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING.
AND.
I AM HONORED TO HAVE BEEN
PRESIDENT. DURING THOSE
CONVERSATIONS.
AHA.
LAST YEAR. PA MY FIRST YEAR'S
BUDGET CHAIR.
I GOT NEW ROYALLY BLESSED OUT
BY MISS MAKE THAT.
ON THE TELEPHONE.
ROYALLY.
AND.
I WAS ON MY CELLPHONE MY CHIEF
OF STAFF CAME IN AND SAID WHAT
HAPPENED.
I SAID WELL SHE SAID.
THAT THAT WAS STUPID.
AND I WAS MAKING A MISTAKE.
WHO MIGHT KEEP THE STAFF LOOKS
STUNNED HIS WOULD YOU SAY?
I SAID WELL I TOLD HER.
THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
WE WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO
DISAGREE.
AND THE EXPRESSION ON TIFFANY'S
FACE GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT
SHE THOUGHT I WAS PROBABLY GONNA
JUST DISAPPEAR ANY MOMENT THEN.
I WAS PLEASED THAT THE NEXT TIME
I SAW HER.
WE DID OUR CUSTOMARY FIST BUMP
UP LIKE A FIST BUMP PARENT TEASE
HER ABOUT. THAT AMAZING RING SHE
WOULD WEAR THAT LOOK I CAN ABOUT
THE ROYAL CREST THE LIKE YOU
KNOW I LOVE THAT RING.
AND SHE GAVE ME A WARM EMBRACE
AND A SMILE AND I KNEW THEN THAT
I WAS NOT GOING TO CEASE TO
EXIST.
THAT SHE AGREED THAT WE WERE
GOING ON THAT ISSUE AGREE TO
DISAGREE. BUT THAT WASN'T GOING
TO IMPACT OUR ON GOING WORKING
RELATIONSHIP AND FOR THAT I WAS
GRATEFUL.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM WATCHING HER
AND WHAT WILL I KEEP?
IT GOES BACK TO LEADERSHIP AND
HER LEADERSHIP STYLE.
AND AS A WOMAN LEADER AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH SOMEONE
NAVIGATE.
THAT NEW WANTS.
I WILL WHAT DID I LEARN AND WHAT
WILL I KEEP.
WITNESSING HER LOYALTY.
WITNESSING HER STEADFASTNESS.
AND I BELIEVED IF SHE LIED TO.
YOU PROBABLY KNOW IT.
AND IF SHE DIDN'T LIKE YOU. YOU
PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW IT.
AND IN. THIS
FIELD OF WORK
I THINK THAT WAS AN AMAZING
ASSET.
I LEARNED A GREAT DEAL.
I AM HONORED TO HAVE BEEN IN THE
ROOM.
GOODMAN THE BENEFICIARY.
OF HER STRAIGHT TALK.
AND SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
WONDERFUL STORY.
BETTER BUDGET THANK YOU.
SENATE JACKSON.
THANK YOU I'M ABOUT MISTER
PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES I AM
UP.
TORN BETWEEN SMILING AND CRYING.
AND I THINK.
.
IT IT SIR IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
THAT IF NANCY WERE HERE SHE
WOULD NOT OPT FOR THE CRYING.
SO.
I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU MY
THOUGHTS I'VE KNOWN A NANCY
SINCE SHE WAS. BROUGHT LORD BACK
HERE.
PROBABLY UNDER FALSE PRETENSES
IN TWO THOUSAND ONE TO HELP WITH
THE ENERGY CRISIS.
THAT.
BROUGHT HER TO THE CAPITAL I
WAS SERVING HERE AS WAS.
THE SENATOR HERTZBERG I THINK
YOU THE POOR SOUL WHO IS THE
SPEAKER AT THE TIME.
BUT NANCY MCFADDEN WAS THE BEST
OF THE BEST.
IF I HAD TO SOME SUM UP MY
FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WOMAN.
YOU KNOW I KNEW NANCY BUT I DO
KNOW NANCY.
NANCY WAS SUCH A PROFESSIONAL.
AND AS MY SEAT MATE SAYS
IT SHOULD IN LIKE YOU YOU DIDN'T
KNOW IT.
BECAUSE HER GOALS WERE NOT ABOUT
EGO.
HER GOALS FOR ABOUT THREE THING
THE WAY TO GET TO YES.
AND THERE WAS NOBODY BETTER AT
IT THEN NANCY MCFADDEN.
AND SHE DIDN'T JUST CHANGE THE
LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO KNEW HER.
SHE TRULY MADE IN THE DID A
DIFFERENCE FOR THIS ENTIRE
STATE.
BUT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT WHEN
YOU MEET HER TALK TO HER
WATCHER.
AGAINTHE LIMELIGHT WAS NOT HER
CHOSEN PLACE.
SHE WAS A LIFELONG SUPPORTER OF
WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND AS I LOOK OUT
HERE TO THE WOMEN IN THE BACK
WHO ARE AMONG OUR LEADERS AND
MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE.
THERE ARE SO MANY WOMEN.
AND BECAUSE OF HER THERE WILL BE
SO MANY MORE IN THE FUTURE AND
FOR THAT I AM SO. GRATEFUL.
INDEED I KNOW OF HER INFLUENCING
GETTING MY EQUAL PAY BILL
PASSED.
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN.
I I KNOW I SHOULD STOP CALLING
WHEN SHE STOPPED TAKING RECALLS.
BUT WE GOT THAT BILL PASSED
AND SHE AND I CHATTED ABOUT THE
FACT THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO
HAVE A SIGNING CEREMONY
SOMETHING THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T
NECESSARILY LIKE TO DO.
BUT SHE SAID HIGH NO HE WILL
RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.
THAT WE HAVE PASSED THIS
LEGISLATION AND SHE M. SEED THIS
EXTRAORDINARY SIGNING CEREMONY
THAT WE HAD AT THE ROSIE THE
RIVETER MUSEUM IN RICHMOND
CALIFORNIA. WITH TEN OF THE LAST
OF THE LIVING ROSIE'S THERE.
COULD EXCUSE ME IN UNIFORM.
IN UNIFORM AND THERE WERE MANY
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND
STAFF WHO WERE THERE.
WITH THEIR DAUGHTERS.
TO CELEBRATE WERE ON STAGE AS
THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THIS BILL.
AND OF COURSE IN THE PICTURES I
THINK ABOUT IT WITH OUR THEN.
PRESIDENT PRO TEM MYSELF
STANDING THERE.
OVER THE GOVERNOR'S HE SIGNED
THE BILL.
NANCY WASN'T THERE.
BUT NANCY WAS REALLY.
VERY MUCH RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT
LEGISLATION IN THAT
EXTRAORDINARY CELEBRATION SHE
WAS ABSOLUTELY KEY IN HELPING
GET MY NEW PARENT LEAVE BILL
SIGNED LAST YEAR AND AS. THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE WOMEN'S
CAUCUSES INDICATED SO MANY
REALLY IMPORTANT BILLS TO HELP
WOMEN AND YET. IF YOU WERE TO
ASK WAS NANCY MCFADDEN A
FEMINIST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO
HESITATE.
BUT I GUESS SHE IS PERHAPS AND
YET BEHIND THE SCENES NANCY WAS
LEADING THE CHARGE.
AND SO FOR THE WOMEN WHO ARE
HERE TODAY IN THE WOMEN WHO ARE
TO FOLLOW AND I KNOW SHE
MENTORED SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN. WE
OWE SO MUCH TO THIS
EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN. AND YET
IT'S TOUGH THE SHE WAS.
SHE WAS A KIND PERSON.
SHE NEVER FORGOT A FRIEND AND
I'M TOLD THAT DURING THE
HOLIDAYS SHE WOULD GIVE GIFTS TO
ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAD.
TOUCHED HER LIFE.
UP EVEN IF THEY WERE DOING IT IN
THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY
WANTED PEOPLE TO REALIZE HOW
MUCH SHE APPRECIATED THEM.
AND SO I WANNA END.
WITH.
.
WITH SOMETHING I THINK THINK
CAPTURES HER.
THE ARE THAT SHE SAID HERSELF SO
THIS IS NOT MY GENIUS.
WHEN SHE GAVE HER SPEECH I THINK
IT'S SAN JOSE STATE.
SHE LEFT SHE LEFT THE.
THE STUDENTS WITH THIS.
I HOPE YOU LIVE LIFE NOT FOR THE
ACCOLADES.
BUT FOR THE EXPERIENCE ITSELF.
CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN NORTH TO
PLANT THE FLAG.
BUT TO EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE
ENJOY THE AIR AND BEHOLD THE
VIEW.
CLIMATE SO YOU CAN SEE THE
WORLD.
AND NOT SO THAT THE WORLD CAN
SEE YOU.
I AM HONORED TO CHURN INTERMENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SOONER.
MEMBERS.
WE RECOGNIZE CENTER WIENER.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT I
BECAUSE I WAS NOT INTENDING TO
SPEAK TODAY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO
MANY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM. WHO
HAVE KNOWN AND WORKED WITH?
NANCY MCFADDEN FOR MANY MORE
YEARS THAN I DID BUT I I I RISE
TO JUST MENTION ONE SPECIFIC
THING. SIDE AND THAT IS NANCY'S.
PIERCE AND INTUITIVE SUPPORT FOR
THE LGBT COMMUNITY. BUT WE HAVE
WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE MANY
STRAIGHT ALLIES BY IN AND ON
THIS IN THIS CHAMBER. IN THE
WORLD AND WE COULDN'T GET
ANYTHING DONE WITHOUT OUR
STRAIGHT ALLIES.
BUT THERE IS THERE ARE SOME
ALLIES.
WHO IN THEIR TO AS DEEP IN THEIR
BONES?
TRULY TO THAT DATA. AND NANCY%
WAS ONE OF THOSE ODD PEOPLE AND
THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT
MAYBE EVERYONE KNEW. ABOUT HER.
AND.
GOVERNOR BROWN I BELIEVE WILL
GO DOWN IN HISTORY HE IS THE
MOST PRO LGBT GOVERNOR IN THE
HISTORY OF THE STATE. HAS A
RECORD OF SUPPORT IS CHEST.
INCREDIBLE AND I WANT TO THANK
THE GOVERNOR. AND THE GOVERNOR
GETS A.
BUT IT SURE HELPED TO HAVE NANCY
MCFADDEN THERE ADVISING HIM.
AND LAST YEAR WE HAD A VERY-HARD
BILL. IT WAS A TOP PRIORITY
FOR A QUALITY CALIFORNIA AND FOR
THE LGBT COMMUNITY. POT AND WE
HAD SOME CHALLENGES.
WITH ONE OF OUR AGENCIES AND WE
WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH. AND
IT'S ALWAYS A PERILOUS POSITION
AS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A BILL
SITTING ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK.
AND MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE THE
MOST ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT UP
FROM THE AGENCY AND WE'RE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE BILL. AYE
OUR ADVOCACY COMMUNITY.
WAS PUTTING SOME PRESSURE ON
THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN THE BILL.
AND IT WAS ON SATURDAY I GOT A
PHONE CALL MYSELF ROOM FROM FROM
NANCY.
AND SHE SAID SENATOR.
ACHIEVING IMMEDIATELY LAUNCHED
INTO WHY THE BILL WAS IMPORTANT
I MEAN YOU HAVE TO SAY A WORD
SHE AND SHE. ARTICULATED IT
PERFECTLY AND BEAUTIFULLY. AND
SHE SAID.
I GOT YOU ON THE US. CAN YOU
CALL OFF THE DOGS.
WE CALL OFF THE DOGS.
AND A DAY OR TWO LATER THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BILL.
NANCY.
ON BEHALF OF MY COMMUNITY THANK
YOU.
WE MISS YOU ARE YOU ARE FORCE
IN NATURE.
OUR STATE IS TO MENACE OUT
WITHOUT YOU THANK YOU.
IF YOU CENTER WIENER.
MEMBERS.
TO CLOSE OUR RECOGNITION TODAY.
WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE
FLOOR OVER.
TWO FORMER PROTEIN DELEON.
SENATOR THE FLOOR IS YOURS TO BE
ABLE TO CLOSE.
BIGGER MUCHA.
MISTER PRESIDENT AS WELL AS AS
COLLEAGUES.
WANT TO SEE THAT NANCY MCFADDEN
WAS A VERY VERY SPECIAL PERSON.
AS SHE WAS ELEGANCE.
SHE WAS ELOQUENT HAS MY.
THE A GOOD CALLING FROM SEPSIS
CHO JUST ARTICULATED SHE WAS A
FORCE OF NATURE YET SHE WASN'T
ALLOWED TO. KNOW WAS SHE
BOMBASTIC.
AGAIN CHIU VERY ELEGANT AND HER
APPROACH.
.
SHE FOUGHT AS WE KNOW THROUGH
ADVERSITY AND CONTINUE TO.
SERVE THIS GOVERNOR AND THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA.
EVEN THOUGH SHE'S GOING THROUGH
GREAT DIFFICULTY.
THIS IS A HUGE LOSS NOT JUST FOR
THE CAPITAL COMMUNITY BUT FOR
THE WHOLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THE FORTY MILLION RESIDENTS.
ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR A SHE
WORKED DAY AND NIGHT.
I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THERE IN
THE ROOM NEGOTIATING WITH THEIR.
ON THE SENATE BILL ONE.
OUR TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE MEASURE.
SHE ROLLED UP HER SLEEVES AND WE
LAND THAT DEAL.
BUT WHAT A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T
KNOW IT IS SURELY AFTER THAT
DEAL WAS FINALIZED.
HE MERELY THERE AFTER SHE WENT
AND STARTED WORKING ON THE CAP
AND TRADE NEGOTIATIONS.
NIGHTS.
AND DAY.
THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GO
FROM SP ONE WHICH REQUIRES AT
MINIMAL A TWO THIRDS LEGISLATIVE
VOTE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
WORKING WITH OUR REPUBLICAN
COLLEAGUES.
AND GOING INTO THE THEREAFTER
INTO CAPTAIN TRADE NEGOTIATIONS.
CAPITA NEGOTIATIONS WAS REALLY
TOUGH FOR OVER WRITER REASONS.
SHE WAS THE FORCE FOR THE
GOVERNOR.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.
AND FOR THAT I THINK THAT WE
WILL FOR EVER ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL
TO HER.
SHE HAD THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO
COMMUNICATE WITH AND ON BEHALF
OF THE GOVERNOR.
AND LET'S BE HONEST.
.
DISCOVER CAN BE PRICKLY AT
TYPES.
AND I TO. THINK THAT SHE IS THE
JERRY BROWN WHISPER.
BECAUSE SHE COULD ARTICULATE.
SOMETIMES MUCH BETTER THAN THE
GOVERNOR CUT.
TO WHOEVER WAS NEGOTIATING
BEFORE HIM.
BUT IS NO QUESTION.
MISSION UNDERSTOOD THE GOVERNOR.
ALMOST BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
AND WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH ALL
OF US.
TO TRY TO GET.
ARE NEGOTIATED POINTS ACROSS
FAIRLY.
AND TO HOPEFULLY TO THE POINT
WHERE WE COULD THE LAND THE
DEAL.
ALMOST EVERY PIECE OF
LEGISLATION.
BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED FORWARD.
BECAUSE OF THE MOST.
LANDMARK TRANSFORMATIVE
MEASURES.
TWO OTHER MEASURES THAT PERHAPS
NOT AS BIG BUT JUST AS
IMPORTANT.
TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE
SHE HAD HER FINGERPRINTS.
ON THOSE MEASURES.
WEATHER WAS AGAIN SP ONE WITH
THOSE CAP AND TRADE WITH THE IT
WAS EXTENSION A CAP AND TRADE
WITH THEIR. IT WAS A
REAUTHORIZATION OF THE GLOBAL
WARMING SOLUTIONS ACT
AB THIRTY TWO.
WHETHER IT WAS SENATE BILL THREE
FIFTY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY.
AND I REMEMBER YEARS BACK WHEN
THEN SPEAKER.
TONI ATKINS UNDYING WERE IN THE
ROOM WITH THIRD JUST US THREE.
WHILE WE NEGOTIATE THE FINAL
DEAL WITH THE FILM AND TV TAX
CREDITS.
BUT THIS WAS A TAX CREDIT THAT
THE GOVERNMENT IN ONE GO NORTH
TO ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
BUT WE ROLLED UP OUR SLEEVES
TOGETHER US THREE. AS SHE WAS A
LEAD NEGOTIATOR BEHALF OF THE
GOVERNOR WE CALLED SOMETHING
THOSE QUITE SIGNIFICANT.
NO YELLING NO SCREAMING NO
THREATS.
NO FINGER POINTING.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOVE BOARD WAS
ALWAYS HONEST WHO'S ALWAYS
SINCERE.
YOU NEVER FELT THAT THERE WAS A
SHELL GAME OBEYING SWITCH.
IT WAS HARD SOMETIMES NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT.
BUT WAS HONESTY WAS
TRANSPARENCY.
SHE WAS A WOMAN WHO ALWAYS COME
BACK TO YOU.
RETURN HER PHONE CALLS ALL THE
TIME. AND IMAGINE THIS.
BECAUSE OFTENTIMES.
AS INDIVIDUAL CENTERS WE LIVE IN
OUR OWN WORLD WE LIVE IN OUR OWN
SPACES WILL OWN INDIVIDUAL
STAFFS WITH OUR OWN CONSTITUENTS
WITH THEIR OWN SPECIAL INTERESTS
WHO WE ENGAGE WITH.
SHE AS THE EXECUTIVES SECRETARY
DID THE FACT OF CHIEF OF STAFF
UBER CHIEF OF STAFF FOR THIS
GOVERNOR.
SHE HAD TO DO WITH FORTY
INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES.
FROM BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES.
THEN YOU ADD EIGHTY.
DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
OF THIS BUILDING AND YOU HAVE
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY.
PERSONALITIES.
INDIVIDUALS COMING AT HER
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THEN YOU GOTTA NEGOTIATE WITH
LEADERS.
ON BUDGETARY ISSUES.
ANOTHER HUGE LANDMARK ME ISSUE
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO LAND.
THIS IS ALL HAPPENING SOMEWHERE
TNC AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT IS A MIGHTY TASK FOR ANYONE
MALE OR FEMALE.
AND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE
BETTER. THE* MCFADDEN. THE
WAY SHE QUITTED HERSELF WITH THE
PROFESSIONALISM THE HIGHEST
CALIBER.
IT IS QUITE EXTRAORDINARY.
NOPE A LOT OF FOLKS.
I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT IS YOU
KNOW. KIND OF COME IN SOME
PLACES I DIDN'T KNOW MYSELF
THAT.
SHE IS THE. EITHER THE CHIEF OF
STAFF FOR THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF
STAFF. TO THAN.
VICE PRESIDENT. AL GORE.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT.
POSITION TO HUFF AND TITLE.
YET WHEN SHE CAME BACK HOME TO
CALIFORNIA'S SHOULDN'T HAVE THE
HEIRS.
OF WASHINGTON.
I'M WAS INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE
AND THE FORMER DEPUTY CHIEF IT'S
AMERICA.
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS JUST ONE
STEP AWAY FROM BECOMING THE
PRESENT A UNITED STATES.
SHE WAS JUST LIKE.
EVERY OTHER PERSON RESPECTFUL
DIGNIFIED TREATED YOU WITH THE
YOU WERE SENIOR MEMBER WHO WAS
A.
AND LEGISLATOR.
WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY.
THAT WAS THE HUMANITY OF THIS
INCREDIBLE.
PERSON* MCFADDEN.
WHAT FUEL HER WAS HER TENACITY?
ALSO HER UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE
IN HER ABILITY TO SOLVE ANY
PROBLEM.
SHE WORKED TO SEE YOUR SIDE OF
THE ISSUE IN ADDRESS YOUR
CONCERNS.
LEGOS FOR ALL OF US DEMOCRATS AS
WELL AS REPUBLICANS.
WORKING.
LONG HOURS INTO THE NIGHT ALSO
WHO SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS WHEN
FOLKS WERE HOME WITH THE FAMILY
MEMBERS.
THE LOVE ONES.
OR PERHAPS GOING TO THIS A
BETTER THAT EVENTS.
BEING STUCK IN THE CAPITAL ON
SATURDAY AS WELL AS SUNDAY. THAT
WAS NANCY MCFADDEN.
THAT WAS NOTS MCFADDEN.
MORE THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE.
EVEN WHEN SHE DISAGREED WITH
YOU.
AND OF COURSE THE WAR HUGE
DISAGREEMENTS.
SHE WAS ALWAYS RESPECTFUL.
SHE NEVER BELITTLED SHE NEVER
DEHUMANIZED.
SHE NEVER PUT YOU DOWN OR
RELEASE EVER FELT.
PUT DOWN.
PRIOR.
I KNOW I DID AND AND YOU HEAR
THE TESTIMONY FROM SO MANY FOLKS
ACROSS
SPECTRUM HERE. BUT ONE FELT THAT
WERE EVERITT BE LITTLE A
DEHUMANIZING THE HIGHLY
POLITICIZED CHARGED WORLD.
WERE SPECIALLY ALLOW
TESTOSTERONE FLOWS EVERYWHERE
THE FOLKS BEAT THEIR CHESTS.
BUT WHEN NAT'S MCFADDEN.
SHOES ELEGANT SHE WAS TOUGH.
TOUGH.
N. THAN INCREDIBLE NEGOTIATOR.
HERM. POSITIVE PASSIONATE AND
EMPATHETIC DEMEANOR MADE HER
SPECIAL.
TWO IN A BUSINESS AGAIN THAT'S
BASS ON RELATIONSHIPS.
CALIFORNIA AS WE KNOW OUR HOME
STATE IS MUCH BETTER OFF.
BECAUSE OF HER.
WE AS LEGISLATORS ARE MUCH
BETTER OFF BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD
THE HONOR TO WORK WITH HER.
AND MORE POORLY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS BETTER OFF BECAUSE
OF HER.
AND I KNOW THAT WHEN A AND I
KNOW THAT ARE.
PRO TEM.
MY WONDERFUL FRIEND OUR FRIEND.
TONI ATKINS WHEN THERE WILL BE
AN ISSUE WITH REGARD TO
CONFIRMATION.
AND IF THERE WAS A CONFIRMATION
IT WAS IN TROUBLE.
BUT WE SENT A SIGNAL THAT

SHE SUFFERED THE LOSS.
THE PROBLEM.
A GREAT BURDEN.
IN ANY PARENT'S LIFE.
BUT CARRIED ON.
LOVING ALL OF HER OTHER
CHILDREN.
NO GREAT TESTIMONY.
THE BARBARA BUSH WAS HER LOVE.
BUT READING.
AND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW
CRITICAL. READING.
IS TO THE SUCCESS.
OF HUMAN BEINGS.
SO SHE DEVOTED HER MISSION AS
FIRST LADY.
TO LITERACY.
IT FOUNDED THE BUSH FOUNDATION.
IT WHICH DEVOTED OVER SEVERAL
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
TO ENHANCING LITERACY.
THROUGHOUT AMERICA.
KIND OF UNIQUE DISTINCTION ONLY
THE SECOND.
FIRST LADY.
WHO COULD BE THE WIFE?
THE PRESIDENT.
AND THE MOTHER.
OF THE PRESIDENT.
IT SURELY WAS A ROCK.
OF THAT FAMILY.
I KNOW WHAT MARILYN MEANS TO ME.
AND AS OF I HEARD THOSE
EXPRESSIONS.
THEIR EXPRESSIONS PERSONALLY IN
MY OWN PRESENCE.
AND OBVIOUSLY EVEN PUBLICLY.
HOW DID VOTER THEY WERE?
TO EACH OTHER.
AND THESE DAYS OF.
MARRIAGES.
DISSOLVE IN A MOMENT OF AN
ARGUMENT NO DISAGREEMENT.
THERE'S INDOORS.
FOR SEVENTY THREE.
BEAUTIFUL YEARS.
SHE WAS A MODEST WOMAN.
THEY WERE OWNED.
FAMILY OF MEANS.
SHE NEVER FLAUNTED THAT.
IS KNOWN FOR HER PEARLS.
BUT THOSE WERE THE.
EXPENSIVE PEARLS.
THE VERY MODEST PEARLS.
WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH HER
CHARACTER.
HE WAS NOT.
BY ANY MEANS.
OSTENTATIOUS.
SHE WAS GRITTY.
FIRM.
BUT ON OCCASION FIERY.
VERY PROFOUND WORDS.
THAT I HOLD DEAR TO ME AS I
THINK ABOUT MY OWN LIFE QUITE
REGULARLY.
SHE SPOKE AT A.
A GREAT UNIVERSITY.
A VERY ACCOMPLISHED.
PEOPLE.
BUT SHE MADE THIS QUOTE.
IF I MAY.
AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE.
YOU'LL NEVER REGRET NOT HAVING
PASSED ONE MORE TEST.
WINNING ONE MORE VERDICT.
NOT CLOSING ONE MORE DEAL.
YOU'LL REGRET NOT HAVING SPENT
TIME WITH THE HUSBAND.
CHILD.
A FRIEND.
OR A PARENT.
THAT'S A GOOD LAST MESSAGE.
FOR THOSE OF US IN THESE
POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP WHICH I
CALL THE SPLENDID LONELINESS OF
LEADERSHIP.
SHE KNOW IT.
YEAH THE LISTENER HUSBAND BE
MALIGNED.
NOT TAKE IT PERSONAL.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY COUNSEL
HIM.
NOT TO TAKE IT PERSONAL.
BARBARA BUSH.
WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE.
FOR ALL AMERICANS.
SHE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY.
AS SUCH.
I ASK THAT WE RESPECTFULLY
ADJOURN THE SENATE TODAY.
IN HONOR OF A TRULY GREAT
AMERICAN. BARBARA BUSH.
