ABOUT
Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted material without permission. However, here is a high-level summary: Monica Martinez grew up in a working class family in Brentwood, NY. She was the first in her family to graduate college. After working as a teacher and small business owner, she was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 2014. In the Legislature, Martinez focused on issues such as combating gang violence and opioid addiction. She passed several bills related to those issues. In 2018, Martinez was elected to the New York State Senate. She continues to make addressing gang violence and substance abuse top priorities, in addition to other issues impacting working class families. Monica Martinez serves on several legislative committees related to education, small business, veterans affairs and more. I summarized the key biographical details while avoiding reproducing verbatim excerpts from the copyrighted biography.
