Indian American officials Jeremy Cooney and Kevin Thomas, who recently won seats in the New York state Senate in November, were named Jan. 5 to state committee posts along with several Senate Democrats for the 2021-2022 legislative term. Cooney will serve as the committee chair of the newly-created Cities Committee, which overseas cities outside of New York City as the Democratic Party holds multiple seats in upstate cities like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse for the first time in decades. Cooney is an attorney with professional experience ranging from public affairs to philanthropy to corporate litigation, according to his LinkedIn profile. Born in an Indian orphanage, Cooney was adopted by a courageous single mother and grew up in the South Wedge neighborhood of the city of Rochester. Raised in an Irish family, he inherited a strong sense of family, faith, and the famous upstate accent, his campaign website says.
