JON C. PORTER of nevada in the house of representatives Monday, December 20, 2004 Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give thanks and praise to a fellow Nevadan and friend who has served her state well in many capacities. Ann O'Connell, a former Nevada State Senator, retired at the end of this state session. I stand today to give praise to her for her wonderful 19-year contribution to the great state of Nevada. Ms. O'Connell was born in 1934 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She later earned a degree from the University of New Mexico. Upon moving to Nevada she began a very successful career in politics in which she has served her fellow Nevadans well. In 1988 Ms. O'Connell received the Woman of Achievement in Politics award from the [[Page E2204]] Women's Council of the Greater Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. She has also appeared in several editions of the ``Distinguished Women's Book of Nevada.'' In 2002 she received the Women's Role Model Award from the Nevada Office of the Attorney General. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I stand today to pay tribute to a great legislator and public servant. Ann O'Connell will be missed but not forgotten. I know that her retirement will not be the end of her public service and I thank her for her diligence in serving those around her. ____________________ |
