WOMEN CONTINUE TO BE SEVERELY
UNDERREPRESENTED IN ENGINEERING
FIELDS AS A WOMAN ENGINEER. I

REPRESENTATION ALL TOO WELL.
WHEN I WORKED AS AN ELECTRICAL
ENGINEER AFTER GRADUATING FROM
COLLEGE, I WAS OFTEN THE ONLY
WOMAN IN THE ROOM AND ALWAYS THE
ONLY WOMAN OF COLOR. THROUGHOUT
MY CAREER, I HAVE OFTEN HEARD
PEOPLE SAY THAT YOUNG WOMEN DO
NOT PURSUE ENGINEERING CAREERS
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED
IN STEM BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT
TRUE. AS A FOUNDER OF D I Y
GIRLS, A NONPROFIT WITH THE
MISSION TO SPARK INTEREST IN
TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING AMONG
YOUNG GIRLS, I CAN TELL YOU THAT
YOUNG WOMEN ARE JUST AS
INTERESTED IN STEM AS YOUNG MEN.
WE SIMPLY NEED TO GIVE THEM
CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE,
ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE TOOLS THEY
NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND TAP
INTO THEIR PASSION FOR STEM AS A
LEADER IN ENGINEERING AND AS A
CHAMPION OF GENDER EQUALITY.
CALIFORNIA CAN CONTINUE TO LEAD
THE WAY AND EMPOWERING YOUNG

MY DAD, WHO WAS ALSO AN ENGINEER
, ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF GETTING A
TECHNICAL DEGREE, WHICH SAID,
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
GOOD TRAINING FOR ANY CAREER,
APPARENTLY EVEN POLITICS. I KNOW

INTRODUCED AND INVOLVED IN STEM

ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO CREATE A
BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. I REMEMBER JUST AS
MISS RIVAS SAID, OH, MY

VALLEY THAT, UM THERE WERE VERY
FEW WOMEN IN MY ENGINEERING
CLASSES AND EVEN FEWER WHEN I

CREATIVITY AND INCLUSIVITY. WE

AND MEMORY. THANK YOU, MR.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I'D LIKE
TO ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF A
DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT WHO
SERVED ON THIS GREEN CARPET AND
THE DISTINGUISHED CALIFORNIA
STATE ASSEMBLY. A DEDICATED
INDIVIDUAL, A LIFELONG SACRAMENT
IN EUGENE GUANACO RECENTLY
PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER. HE
LEAVES BEHIND HIS FAMILY UP IN
THE GALLERY AND HIS WIFE OF 60,
PLUS YEARS, DOROTHY. AGAIN JEAN
GUANACO GREW UP HERE IN
SACRAMENTO IN THE FOOTHILL FARMS
AREA. THE DISTRICT NOW
REPRESENTED BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM
FOLSOM, HE ATTENDED LOCAL PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, U. C. BERKELEY AND MAKE
GEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW PASSED THE
BAR IN 1958. THE SAME YEAR HE
MARRIED HIS WIFE, DOROTHY.
AGAIN, SHE'S UP IN THE GALLERY
WITH HER FAMILY AND HER EXTENDED
. UM UH, FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM
THE AREA. WHEN HE WAS 34, HE
DECIDED TO GET INVOLVED. IN
PUBLIC SERVICE AND RAN FOR THE
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND
ONE REPRESENTING DISTRICT FOUR.
IT'S IN THE SAME TIME THAT HE
BEGAN RAISING HIS TWO YOUNG
CHILDREN, GINA AND LARRY, NO.
ONE STORY HOME IN THE FOOTHILL
FARMS AND NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE
NORTH PART OF SACRAMENTO. HE
FOUGHT TO INCREASE ACCESS TO
PUBLIC PARKS, AND ONE IS THE
LEADER IN CREATING AND EXPANDING
OUR BELOVED AMERICAN RIVER
PARKWAY. AND HE WAS VERY PLEASED
THE FACT THAT WE'RE DOING THE
SAME THING IN THIS DAY TO EXPAND
ACCESS TO OUR PARKWAY IN 1974,
HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD RUN
FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSEMBLY REPRESENTING THE FIFTH
DISTRICT, REPRESENTING THAT AREA
UNTIL 1978 WAS TOLD BY HIS
FAMILY. HIS SEAT MATE BACK HERE
WAS LOOP HAPPEN. WHO HIS
DAUGHTER, OF COURSE, IS SERVING
WITH US TODAY HE WAS THE CHAIR
OF THE WATER PARKS AND WILDLIFE
COMMITTEE. THE ÁP CALLED HIM
CALIFORNIA'S STRONGEST ADVOCATE
OF THE EVENTS OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF THE
TAHOE BASIN. IN 1978, OUR LOCAL
CONGRESS MEMBER PASSED AWAY. I
HAD ONE OF THOSE CONGRESSIONAL
RACES WHERE EVERYBODY JUMPED IN.
THE MAYOR OF SACRAMENTO NAMED
PHIL EISENBERG, FIRST TERM CITY
COUNCIL MEMBER NAMED BOB MATSUI
IN THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER HERE FROM
SACRAMENTO. JEAN GUA CO. WAS A
BIG RACE A BIG TALK OF THE TOWN.
HE DIDN'T WIN THAT RACE, BUT A
FEW MONTHS LATER, HE RAN INTO A
YOUNG GOVERNING JERRY BROWN. WHO
SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE THE
OTHER IDEAS FOR YOU. WHY DON'T
YOU SERVE ON OUR SACRAMENTO
SUPERIOR COURT? AND LATER ON, HE
SAID. THAT LOSS IN THAT RACE WAS
THE BEST THING THAT EVER
HAPPENED TO HIM BECAUSE HE LOVES
SERVING IN THE JUDICIARY. HE WAS
AN OUTSTANDING MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT, KNOWN
FOR UPHOLDING WORKERS' RIGHTS,
REPRODUCTIVE CARE FOR WOMEN, AND
HE WAS INVOLVED WITH THE BANNING
OF ASSAULT RIFLES, INTERSTATE HE
WAS, HE WAS OFTEN SAID HE WAS A
TOUGH JUDGE BECAUSE HE INSISTED
THAT THE ATTORNEYS WERE PREPARED
AND READY TO SERVE IN THE
COURTROOM AFTER RETIRING FROM A
JUDGE IN 1994, HE STILL WANTED
TO SERVE AND SO HE WAS TAPPED TO
HELP THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES AGENCY AND
REFORM THAT AGENCY AND LOOK AT
THEIR SYSTEMIC FAILURES FOR OUR
KIDS. IN RETIREMENT, HE ENDORSED
THE CONTINUED TRAVELING ABROAD,
SPENDING MORE TIME WITH THEIR
FAMILY AND THE GREATER
SACRAMENTO AREA. I HAD THE
PLEASURE OF WON'T GOING TO A
SENIOR CENTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
AND THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN IN THE
BACK OF THE ROOM, ASKING ME ALL
THESE QUESTIONS. THAT REALLY
DETAILED QUESTIONS. AND I SAID,
HOW DOES THIS GENTLEMAN KNOW ALL
THIS INFORMATION? WHAT'S HIS
DEAL? AND AFTERWARDS HE CAME UP
AND HE SAID I SERVED IN YOUR
SEAT AND I KNEW HIS NAME, BUT I
NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION SO HE
WAS VERY ACTIVE UNTIL THE END
AGAIN. WE WANT TO HONOR HIS
MEMORY HERE TODAY WITH HIS
FAMILY. AND WE ASKED THIS GREAT
HOUSE ADJOURNING HIS MEMORY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
MCCARTY. MEMBERS WITHOUT
OBJECTION, THE QUORUM CALL IS
LIFTED. WE STILL HAVE ADDITIONAL
GERMANS IN MEMORY.
AND REMEMBER JOE PATTERSON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
ADJOURNMENT AND MEMORY. THANK
YOU MEMBERS. TODAY I RISE IN THE
MEMORY OF A PILLAR OF THE
ROCKLAND YOUTH BASEBALL
COMMUNITY AND MY FRIEND MAGGIE
LLOYD. MAGGIE PASSED AWAY ON
NOVEMBER 20TH AFTER A SHORT YET
COURAGEOUS BATTLE WITH CANCER.
SHE LEFT US TOO EARLY AT THE
YOUNG AGE OF 40. FOR THE PAST
FIVE YEARS, MAGGIE SERVED AS
PRESIDENT OF THE TRI CITY LITTLE
LEAGUE, WHERE SHE LED ONE OF THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL LITTLE LEAGUE
PROGRAMS IN THE NATION. UNDER
HER TENURE, TRI CITY LITTLE
LEAGUE WAS AT THE DOORSTEP OF
THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN
2018 AND 2022. IN 2018. THEY
WERE THE TOP TEAM IN CALIFORNIA
, BUT HER COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
WENT MUCH DEEPER THAN COUNTLESS
HOURS ON THE BASEBALL DIAMOND
AND IN THE CONCESSION SHACK.
WHEN I WAS ON THE ROCKLAND CITY
COUNCIL REGULARLY SEE HER AND
HER HUSBAND AND THE COUNCIL
CHAMBERS. LURKING IN THE BACK.
JUST CURIOUS WHAT WAS GOING ON
IN THE COMMUNITY? SHE WAS ALSO A
KEY CONTACT FOR THE CITY.
WHENEVER WE WERE DISCUSSING
RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS AND
ANYTHING REGARDING OUR CITIES,
FIELDS THERE WERE 450 KIDS IN
THE TRI CITY LITTLE LEAGUE
PROGRAM, AND I GUARANTEE YOU
THAT SHE KNEW EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF THEIR NAMES. THEY WERE ALL
FAMILY. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE MEAL
TRAIN SET UP BY HER FRIENDS AND
SEPTEMBER TO SUPPORT HER WHEN
SHE WAS SICK. IT IS CONTINUED TO
THIS DAY, THREE MONTHS AFTER SHE
PASSED AWAY, PEOPLE ARE STILL
BRINGING HER FAMILY HOME COOKED
MEALS. MAGGIE'S BIG HEART AND
COMPASSION EXTENDED RIGHT INTO
HER PROFESSIONAL LIFE, DOING
WHAT SHE LOVED WORKING WITH
CHILDREN. SHE SERVED AS A
SPECIAL EDUCATION AID FOR THE
ROCKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
, MOST RECENTLY WORKING AT
WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL. WORKING
WITH KIDS WAS NOT A JOB. IT WAS
A PASSION, AND SHE DEDICATED HER
LIFE TO IT. WHEN I CHECKED IN
WITH HER HUSBAND, JEFF LAST
MONTH, I ASKED HIM HOW HE WAS
DOING. IT WOULD BE
UNDERSTANDABLE IF HE WAS
DOWNRIGHT SAD AND DEJECTED, BUT
THAT THAT IS NOT IN HIS D. N A.
POSITIVE IT AND HE SAID, YOU
KNOW, WE HAD A REALLY GREAT
SUMMER. APPARENTLY THEIR
FAMILIES SPENT THE SUMMER AFTER
THE LITTLE LEAGUE SEASON, OF
COURSE, TOURING VARIOUS BASEBALL
PARKS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND
ENJOYING EACH OTHER. MAGGIE
SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND, JEFF,
AND HER TWO SONS, CONNOR AND
CODY, AS WELL AS HER MOTHER,
CONNIE HUMPHREY AND SISTER SARAH
BENTLEY. MAGGIE WAS A SPECIAL
PERSON, AND WHILE SHE HAS TAKEN
SHE WAS TAKEN FAR TOO EARLY. HER
LEGACY WILL LIVE ON NOT ONLY
THROUGH HER FAMILY BUT ALSO THE
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES THAT WERE
TOUCHED BY HER SENSE OF PRIDE,
DEDICATION AND LOVE OF CHILDREN.
WE CAN'T REPLACE MAGGIE. BUT WE
CAN REMEMBER HER. I ASK THAT YOU
JOIN ME IN A JOURNEY IN THE
MEMORY OF MAGGIE LLOYD. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PATTERSON. AND ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
