ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted material without permission. However, here is a high-level summary of the key details from the biography: Andrea Stewart-Cousins was born in 1950 in New York City. She earned a bachelor's degree in nursing and worked as a registered nurse. She got involved in community activism and local politics in Yonkers, serving on various boards and committees. She was elected to the Westchester County legislature in 1993. In 2004, she was elected to the New York State Senate, becoming the first African American woman elected to the State Senate from outside New York City. She has focused on issues like affordable healthcare, protecting the environment, gun safety laws, and women's rights. Over her time in office she has assumed various leadership roles in the State Senate, and in 2018 became the first woman to lead a conference in New York’s legislature. I aimed to provide a high-level summary while respecting copyright and avoiding reproducing lengthy verbatim excerpts.
