February 27, 2009

Congressman Dreier issued the following statement today regarding the passing of former California State Senator Nell Soto:

“The Inland Empire has lost one of its most passionate, dedicated citizens with the passing of Nell Soto.  Nell was someone who always fought for her beliefs and did it in a positive and respectful way.  Her energy was boundless, her humor always welcome, and her work ethic unparalleled.  Personally, I learned a great deal from her and always enjoyed working with her.  All of us who knew and worked with Nell will miss her.  Her family and friends are in my prayers at this difficult time.”
