Statement from Supervisor Bill Gates on the Passing of Sandra Day O'Connor
“In celebrating the life and legacy of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, I reflect on her remarkable journey from her family’s Arizona cattle ranch to the halls of the Supreme Court. She will be remembered for her pioneering spirit, intellect, and commitment to justice – all of which she used when she became the first woman to ever serve on the United States Supreme Court. Beyond her legal prowess, Justice O'Connor's Arizona roots were integral to shaping her character and perspective, embodying the resilience and tenacity that we Arizonans are proud of. As we bid farewell to this trailblazing jurist, we honor not only her profound contributions to the judiciary but also the indelible mark she left on the Grand Canyon State and America. You made your state and country proud, Justice O’Connor.”
