through the years
BY QNS STAFF
Although she served as Queens borough president for 16
years, Claire Shulman’s political influence, civic engagement
and dedication to the borough lasted far longer.
On Sunday, Aug. 16, Shulman passed away after battling
lung and pancreatic cancer. She was 94.
Shulman, the first woman to be elected Queens borough
president, held the post from 1986 until 2002, when she was
term-limited.
Here are some photos taken from throughout Shulman’s
