“Assemblywoman Quijano’s ascension to the role of Speaker Pro Tempore of the General Assembly is a well-deserved recognition of her unwavering dedication to improving the daily lives of all New Jersey residents. She has earned a reputation as a visionary leader and steadfast advocate for working families, women, children, and our most vulnerable communities, championing policies that make our state more inclusive, equitable, and a place where everyone can achieve their dreams.

“Assemblywoman Quijano has made the Latino community proud, driving meaningful change on the issues that impact our households the most. She was the leading force behind the landmark law expanding access to driver’s licenses for all eligible New Jersey residents and fought tirelessly to pass legislation protecting workers from wage theft.

“Her leadership and advocacy continue to pave the way for a stronger, fairer New Jersey, and the Legislative Latino Caucus is proud to fully support her in this new role. We look forward to Assemblywoman Quijano building on her record of success and advancing the Assembly Majority’s legislative priorities.”
