About Susan

Susan has lived in Rockland County for more than three decades, with her husband Jeff. They raised their daughter Jenna here.

Queens to Rockland

A native of Queens, she financed her own education at Queens College while starting a career in law enforcement at the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.

After graduating, she joined the New York State Organized Crime Task Force, where her talents were recognized and she was quickly promoted to Special Investigator. She kept working while she studied law, and earned a Juris Doctorate from the Elizabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University.

34 years of public-money cases

She served as an Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County, then as a Senior Assistant District Attorney in Westchester County, continuing her work prosecuting organized crime across New York State.

She later changed her focus to cases of domestic violence and sexual abuse, representing the victims through successful prosecution of their abusers.

She finished her career as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the New York State Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, prosecuting providers who defrauded Medicaid, taking taxpayer money meant for patients.

Service, after the career

Susan joined Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety, where she worked as the Community Outreach Lead and advocated in Albany and Washington, D.C., for stronger gun laws to ensure that guns are kept out of reach of vulnerable people and to fight against the influx of illegal guns, especially ghost guns.

Susan joined the Friends of the Nanuet Library to raise money to offset library costs and allow it to continue providing great programs to the community.

Susan worked with Proyecto Faro to spread the word to our immigrant communities that they have rights under the Constitution. Susan also worked at the Martin Luther King Jr. food pantry and helped Proyecto Faro stock local community refrigerators.

Susan worked with the League of Women Voters to register young people at our college campuses and to encourage them to use their voting rights to produce the future they want.

Why the town board

A town budget is a public-money case. Someone has to read the contract, set the payroll records beside the bill, and ask who was actually paid for what.

That is the specific thing Susan did for 34 years, and it is the reason to send her rather than someone who would be learning it in January.

Susan has been attending Town Board meetings whenever possible; she reads the minutes and analyzes the budget. She is already looking into the taxpayers’ interests.
