State Assemblymember Jeffrey Dinowitz (NY-81) was involved in community issues and political campaigns before he could even vote. Though he never intended to run for office, he felt a calling to help make his community a better place.

Dinowitz is proud that his district incorporates greenery into the cityscape with all its beautiful parks. His favorite part of being in elected office is making an impact in the community where he grew up. 

In three words, Dinowitz describes his district as "hard-working, diverse, and beautiful." If he could travel anywhere in the world, he would take a tour of the U.S. national parks.
