In 2002, Tracey Brooks, as the Democratic nominee for the New York State Assembly, challenged a ten-year Republican incumbent—and came within three points of an upset victory. She represented Sen. Clinton in her work with government, political and community leaders in 15 counties in New York; she served as the Senator’s liaison to state government and statewide associations, and worked with them to help secure federal resources for upstate counties in the areas of economic development, health care, education and infrastructure.
Brooks attended Albany Law School on a fellowship, published research on alternative dispute resolution, and received the school’s inaugural Kate Stoneman award for gender equity and policy.
