Jeremy Cooney, State Senator for New York's 56th District, appreciates speaking with constituents in different neighborhoods about solutions to big community issues. One skill he has honed as a legislator, is learning how to be an even more effective listener. 

Cooney's top priority for the upcoming year is job growth in his district. 

If Cooney could visit anywhere in the world, he would go to the orphanage in Kolkata, India where he was adopted from as a small child. If he was not in public service, he would be in non-profit fundraising.
