Biography

Assemblymember  MaryJane Shimsky

MaryJane Shimsky has represented New York’s 92nd District in Westchester County since January 2023. Her district includes most of the towns of Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant and a portion of northwest Yonkers. She currently serves on the Assembly’s committees on Corporations, Authorities, and Commissions; Governmental Operations; Judiciary; Local Governments; Tourism, Parks, Arts, and Sports Development; and Transportation.

MaryJane’s accomplishments in the Assembly include enacted legislation expanding the State’s food donation and food scraps recycling program; permitting local governments to provide tax relief to homeowners who lost their residences due to extreme weather events; expanding the use of e-filing to all of New York’s lower courts; requiring that taxpayers be informed about school tax payment installment schedules; ensuring the continued operation of special act schools; and improving drug overdose responses at nightlife establishments.

She has also sponsored a range of legislative items enabling the towns, villages, and fire districts of District 92 to serve their residents better. These include authorizations to preserve the hotel/motel occupancy tax in Mount Pleasant and Greenburgh; to install red-light cameras at certain hazardous intersections in Greenburgh and Pleasantville; to lease Greenburgh park facilities for pickleball; and to clarify the pension rights of individual employees.

In her first term, MaryJane helped secure $100 million in additional road and bridge funding in the State Budget and more than $7.19 million in State and Assembly-based funding to support District 92 communities. The latter includes allocations for critical repairs to the High Street Bridge in Dobbs Ferry, H-bridge in Tarrytown, science labs at Woodlands High School in Greenburgh, and American Legion Adolph Pfister Post 1038 in Valhalla, as well as funding for educational and cultural programming by municipalities and nonprofits.

From 2011 to 2022, MaryJane served on the Westchester County Board of Legislators, where she led on issues relating to the environment, flood mitigation, infrastructure, and public health. She sponsored the County’s legislation to protect access to women’s health clinics and raise the tobacco age to 21, as well as the authorization for the County’s first opioid lawsuit. Known for spearheading the reconstruction of the Ashford Avenue Bridge, she was subsequently responsible for advancing hundreds of construction projects for roads, sewers, parks, historical preservation, and other public facilities.

A native of Scranton, PA, MaryJane graduated from Yale University and New York University School of Law and earned a PhD in History from the City University of New York. She and her husband are 30-year residents of the Rivertowns area of Westchester County; their two grown children attended Hastings-on-Hudson public schools.
