“Words cannot express our sadness to learn that Assemblyman Robert Smullen’s son, AJ, has passed away. On behalf of the entire Assembly Minority Conference, I want to offer my most sincere condolences to Robert, Megan and their loved ones. For the past two weeks, AJ and the Smullen family have epitomized strength and perseverance during his fight toward recovery. The heartbreaking loss of a child is something no parent should ever have to endure, and I encourage everyone to keep the Smullen family in their hearts and in their prayers.
