Biography

Linda Rosenthal is a Democrat who has represented Assembly District 67 on Manhattan's Upper West Side and parts of Clinton/Hell's Kitchen since 2006 and chairs the Assembly Housing Committee. Before her election she spent 13 years on the staff of U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler. She is unopposed for re-election in 2026.[1][2][3]

Rosenthal was born in New York City in 1957, and her Assembly biography describes her as a life-long resident of the Upper West Side.[2][4] She earned a B.A. in history from the University of Rochester in 1980.[5][2] Before the Assembly, she worked in publishing and then for 13 years for U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, as Manhattan District Director and Director of Special Projects, according to her Assembly biography.[2][4] She has also served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention and as president of the Community Free Democrats.[5]

Rosenthal was elected to the Assembly in a February 2006 special election to succeed Scott Stringer, who left to become Manhattan Borough President, and she has been re-elected since.[2][4] She chairs the Housing Committee and is a member of the Agriculture, Codes and Health committees, the Legislative Women's Caucus, the Task Force on Women's Issues, and the Subcommittees on Tuition Assistance Program and on Women's Health.[3] Earlier, she chaired the Social Services Committee (2021-2022) and the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Committee (2017, 2019-2020).[5]

Her Assembly biography says she has passed more than 120 laws and describes her as an advocate on affordable housing, domestic violence, consumer protection, government reform, environmental issues and animal cruelty; laws it cites include extending orders of protection to companion animals and prohibiting sales of electronic cigarettes to minors.[2] In June 2026 the Legislature passed her bills on health data privacy (the New York Health Information Privacy Act, A.10357, sponsored in the Senate by Liz Krueger) and on ending the shackling of pregnant and postpartum women in law enforcement custody (A.1670-B, first introduced in 2021).[6][7]
