VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement is a direct quote attributed to Kelly Armstrong, but Kelly Armstrong is a U.S. Representative (not a governor) and there is no widely reported April 2026 death of a prominent female legislator named Liz that matches this context. Without verification of the source or event, the quote cannot be confirmed as factual.
