Jeffrey Dinowitz has served as our Assemblyman in the 81st Assembly District since 1994. He has reliably been an advocate and resource both to the VCJC and the district’s community.  For example, when the Department of Education stopped renting space from VCJC, Assemblyman Dinowitz stepped in and helped bring Mosholu-Montefiore Day Care Center (MMCC) in as a new tenant.  When the street lights on Stevenson Place were turned off, Assemblyman Dinowitz contacted the NYC Dept of Transportation to get them turned back on. Assemblyman Jeffery Dinowitz has opposed having the filtration plant sited in the Jerome Park Reservoir since the 1990s. He helped successfully stop the City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from building it in the Jerome Park Reservoir, the worst possible location.  He has been a reliable participant in our events.  He has repeatedly arranged services to the community such as flu shots in various locations, including Vladek Hall. It is for these and many other reasons that VCJC is pleased to honor him this year.

Excerpt from Jeffrey Dinowitz’s website:

He led a team of reformers that swept into office in 1986 and built a strong and vibrant Democratic party in the 81st A.D. The district includes Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Van Cortlandt Village, Kingsbridge Heights, Marble Hill, Norwood, Woodlawn and Wakefield.

Assemblyman Dinowitz chairs the Assembly Committee on Judiciary. He also serves on the Rules, Health and Election Law committees. He previously chaired the Committees on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions, Consumer Affairs and Protection, Aging, and Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. He is an outspoken supporter of addressing historic funding inequities in New York’s public education system by increasing aid to New York City schools. Assemblyman Dinowitz has authored numerous laws. Among those laws are the Anti-Human Trafficking Act of 2007 and National Popular Vote.

Jeffrey Dinowitz believes elected officials should pay particular attention to neighborhood issues and individual constituent problems. His district office has helped thousands of people cut through government red tape with city, state and federal agencies. Whether it was leading the fight against the multi-billion dollar boondoggle water filtration plant, helping to spearhead the creation of a business improvement district in Kingsbridge or being a major force in the creation of two new middle/high schools in Riverdale and Kingsbridge, Assemblyman Dinowitz has always been outspoken on every issue important to his constituents.

He has represented his community in a number of political capacities. He was elected as a State Committeeman in 1978 and served as a District Leader from 1986 to 1994. He served as a Delegate to the Democratic Party National Convention in 1980, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 and Chair of his the Democratic Party County Committee in the Bronx from 2008 to 2016.

Born in 1954, Jeffrey Dinowitz has lived in the Bronx all of his life. He is a graduate of Brooklyn Law School, Herbert H. Lehman College of the City University of New York, the Bronx High School of Science and Bronx public schools. He has been married to Sylvia Gottlieb since 1978. They have two children and four grandchildren. Prior to his election to the Assembly he served as an Administrative Law Judge for the State of New York.
