| - Leslie Sarah "Liz" Steele, DHK, PC, (born May 5, 1933; née Cole) is a Sierran attorney, politician, and member of the Royalist Party who served three terms as the 32nd Governor of Kings from 2000 to 2012. She was the running mate of K.S. Senator Daniel McComb from San Joaquin, the nominee of the Royalists, in the 2016 prime ministerial election, and after they were elected into office, Steele became the deputy prime minister-elect, and will remain so until Inauguration Day on December 16. In addition to having served as governor, Steele has previously served as the Attorney General of Kings from 1995 to 1999 under Governor Dick Shae, and as the Dean of the University of Kings, Santa Barbara from 1986 to 1994. Born in Pismo Beach, Steele worked as an intern for MP Jack Roberts, a Royalist in her district at the age of 17. She is a 1960 graduate from the University of Kings, Santa Barbara, where she earned a J.D. in law at the Frémont and Pico Hall School of Law. She practiced law with a local law firm starting in 1966, and then independently in 1975 with a focus on civil rights and employment law. Steele began teaching law at her old university in 1980 and chaired the law school, before being elected as Dean in 1986. Steele was appointed as Attorney General of Kings in 1995 by Governor Dick Shae, becoming the first black Sierran and first woman to have served as the province's attorney general. While serving as Attorney General, she began campaigning for governorship as a Royalist, and won, defeating Democratic-Republican opponent Mitch Fantano in the 1999 Kings gubernatorial election. As governor, she committed towards passing tripartisan, balanced budgets, and cut government spending by 10% whilst increasing the proportion of Kings' allocated budget to education from 20% to 40%, and overhauled the province's tax code. Steele joined other Royalist governors in pushing for the Health in Our Hands Act to pass in Parliament, which would allow provinces to exercise greater authority over health care. When the bill passed, she oversaw the massive reform of Kings' own health care and pension plans, providing a wider range of benefits at lower premiums, compared to the national system. She resisted efforts to decriminalize marijuana but later signed law authorizing medicinal marijuana in 2003, making Kings one of the first provinces to do so. Eventually, she signed a bill legalizing recreational use in 2011. After she left office in 2012, she traveled across the country as a conservative political speaker, working for the Council of Pacific-Atlantic Affairs. She was chosen by Royalist Party nominee Daniel McComb in June 2016 as his running mate on the party's ticket for the Prime Ministry, and began campaigning him under the slogan, "Get Sierra Working Again".
