Together, they made history as the first pair of sisters to concurrently serve in such a capacity.
In February 2004, Montañez achieved yet another milestone when she was named the chairperson of the Assembly Rules Committee.
At just 30 years old, she became the youngest person to hold this prestigious position. Her appointment also marked a momentous occasion as she became the first Latina and the first Democratic woman to chair the committee.
Throughout her political career, Montañez was a tireless advocate for her constituents, focusing on vital issues such as education, the environment, healthcare, and consumer/worker protection.
Her legacy continues to inspire aspiring politicians, even though she faced a setback in 2015 when she tried to challenge for a full-term seat but lost the election.
