***PRESS RELEASE***
STATE SENATOR LIZ
KRUEGER PRAISES SELECTION OF CHRISTINE QUINN AS FIRST WOMAN SPEAKER
OF THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL
New York, NY
Today State Senator Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan)
expressed her gratification at the imminent election of Christine Quinn as the first woman Speaker of the New York City
Council. It is a sign of how far our
City has come that it is now possible for women of talent to aspire to
positions that have long been exclusively held by men, said Senator Krueger. We all win when we open our political
process to all people regardless of gender, or sexual orientation. Senator
Krueger noted that Councilmember
Quinn will be both the first woman and openly lesbian Speaker of the City
Council.
I have worked with Councilmember
Quinn for many years, and know that she will bring intelligence,
dedication, and a passion for improving the lives of all New Yorkers to the
job of Speaker, said Senator Krueger. I look forward to the leadership that she
will provide on critical issues facing the City of New York, and am delighted that the
majority of her colleagues on the Council share my views of her leadership
qualities.
