Judy A. Griffin

JUDY A. GRIFFIN

DEMOCRAT

BACKGROUND:

  • Griffin, 59, of Rockville Centre, seeks a third term. She had worked as the senior adviser and director of community outreach for State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach). 
  • She got her bachelor of science degree in business economics from SUNY Oneonta.
  • She was appointed by the Assembly speaker this summer to the legislature’s Commission on the Future of the Long Island Power Authority.

ISSUES:

  • As a supporter of universal prekindergarten, she would fight for further funding increases so such classes can be available statewide to any 4-year-old.
  • She wants to build “crime victim and trauma survivor recovery centers” across the state to provide therapy and other services, starting with a $10 million pilot program.
  • She would work to pass her “Death by Dealer” bill, which would make it easier to charge drug dealers with homicide when users die of overdose.
  • She touts her efforts to push through fixes to some unintended consequences of bail reform, including eliminating a complicated evidence process for traffic violation cases.

Remembering 9/11: Where things stand now As we remember those we lost on 9/11, we're looking at the ongoing battle to secure long term protection for first responders and the latest twists and turns in the cases of the accused terrorists.
