March 23, 2018

The Simon Wiesenthal Center sadly notes the passing of Nancy McFadden, Chief of Staff to Governor Jerry Brown. “She was loyal and trusted personal friend and champion of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Museum of Tolerance. She never missed an opportunity to advance our mission with the Governor, who during his first term 40 years ago, bet on the success of the Center when it was just a fledgling institution,” said Rabbi Meyer H. May, Executive Director. “Her door was always open to us as was her heart and passion!”

On behalf of the 400,000 families of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, we extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the Governor and his wife, as well as her colleagues, who lost a talented, dedicated friend and public servant, whose hand was seen in most of the Governor’s successes in Sacramento.
