Biography
Jo Anne Simon is the Democratic and Working Families Party member of the NY State Assembly for District 52 (parts of Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill and nearby neighborhoods) and won re-election on November 3, 2026. A disability civil rights attorney and longtime Brooklyn civic and party figure, she was first elected in 2014 and took office in January 2015; she chairs the Assembly's Mental Health Committee and is a member of the Higher Education, Judiciary, Transportation and Ways and Means committees.[1][2][3][4][5]
Jo Anne Simon grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Yonkers, NY, the oldest girl in a family of five and the daughter of Italian immigrants, and she was the first in her family to attend college.[1] She earned a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences from Iona College, a master's degree in Education of the Deaf from Gallaudet University, and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law, which she completed at night while working full-time.[1] Simon worked as a judicial law secretary and taught in Hofstra University School of Law's clinical program before establishing a disability civil rights law firm in Downtown Brooklyn.[1] She is also an adjunct assistant professor of law at Fordham and general counsel of the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).[1]
Simon has lived in Brooklyn since 1981.[1] She served as President of the Boerum Hill Association, founded or co-founded several Brooklyn civic organizations, including the Downtown Brooklyn Coalition, BrooklynSpeaks.net and the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods, and chaired the Gowanus Community Stakeholder Group.[1] In 2004 she was elected female District Leader and State Committeewoman for the 52nd Assembly District, according to her official biography; the Brooklyn Paper reported in 2014 that she had served as female district leader since 2004.[1][19] According to the Brooklyn Paper, she ran for New York City Council in 2009, when she and Doug Biviano lost that race to Steve Levin.[19]
Simon won the 2014 Democratic primary for the open Assembly seat of retiring Assembly Member Joan Millman, defeating Peter Sikora and Doug Biviano, and then won the general election, taking office on January 1, 2015.[20][5][19] Ballotpedia lists her as a candidate in the 2021 Democratic primary for Brooklyn Borough President and the 2022 Democratic primary for U.S. House in New York's 10th District; she did not win either primary and remained in the Assembly.[5] According to the Assembly website, she chairs the Committee on Mental Health and is a member of the Higher Education, Judiciary, Transportation and Ways and Means committees.[4] Her official biography also describes her as a member of the ARISE Coalition, which seeks to improve outcomes for New York City children with disabilities.[1] She won the November 3, 2026 general election over Brett Wynkoop, according to unofficial results from the NYC Board of Elections.[2][3]
