Dana Ann Levenberg[1] is an American politician who is a member of the New York State Assembly from the 95th district since 2023. First elected in 2022, she previously served as the Town Supervisor of Ossining.[2]

Career

Levenberg began her career working in advertising and TV production. Later, she served as Assemblywoman Sandy Galef's chief of staff and was elected to three terms on the Ossining School Board.[3] Levenberg left Galef's office after being elected Town Supervisor of the Town of Ossining in 2015.[4]

In 2022, Galef announced she would be retiring from the New York State Assembly at the end of the year, and Levenberg entered the race to succeed her. Galef quickly endorsed her. In the Democratic primary, Levenberg won in a 3-way race against former Peekskill Common Council member and democratic socialist Vanessa Agudelo as well as Westchester County Legislator Colin Smith.[5][6] In the general election, Levenberg ran against Republican Stacy Halper, a retired music teacher from Briarcliff Manor.[5]

Personal life

Levenberg attended Teaneck High School and Brown University. She married Steven Joel Hersh in West Orange, New Jersey in 1993.[1]
