Mayor Small Issues Statement on the Passing of Lieutenant Governor Oliver

Atlantic City, N.J. (August 1, 2023) – City of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Sr. has issued the following statement on the passing of New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver:

Lieutenant Governor Oliver and I were beyond colleagues, we were close friends. We often joked about her living in Atlantic City when she retires because she was here so frequently. This is a tremendous loss for our city, our region and our state. She was a strong advocate and a champion for Atlantic City. She supported all the positive things my administration wanted to do for our residents, and I’ll be forever grateful for that. We owe the existence of our current departments of Youth, Multicultural and Senior Services to Lieutenant Governor Oliver. On top of all that, she was a wonderful person, always a pleasure to be around. On behalf of the entire City of Atlantic City, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her family and to her colleagues. Our hearts are with you during this difficult time.
