| Description | State Sen. Sharon Runner, a longtime legislator who championed a sweeping law that targeted sex offenders and then battled back into political life after failing health, died Thursday.
Runner underwent a double lung transplant in 2012, a result of her long battle with scleroderma and subsequently dropped out of her Senate reelection bid that year. She decided to return in a 2015 special election after another GOP legislator was elected to Congress. She previously served six years in the Assembly, from 2002 to 2008.
