Shelley Mayer
Shelley Mayer (born March 6, 1953) is an American politician serving as a Democratic member of the New York State Senate representing the 37th Senate District, which includes portions of Westchester County. Formerly a member of the New York State Assembly, Mayer was first elected in a special election in 2018 and re-elected in 2020, 2022, and 2024..
Mayer was born and raised in Yonkers. She received her B.A. at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1975 and later her J.D. at the University at Buffalo Law School in 1979
Prior to her election to public office, Mayer was a Senior Counsel at the National State Attorney General Program at Columbia University, where she focused on health care and labor law rights. From 2007 until early 2011, Shelley worked as Chief Counsel to the New York State Senate Conference in Albany.
For over seven years, she served as Vice President of Government and Community Affairs at Continuum Health Partners in New York City (previously St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center and Beth Israel Medical Center). From 1982 to 1994, Mayer served as an Assistant Attorney General in the office of New York Attorney General Bob Abrams.
In 2006, Mayer made her first run for public office, losing a bid for the New York State Assembly to incumbent Republican Mike Spano. Spano later went on to change parties, ran for Mayor of Yonkers in 2011 as a Democrat, and won.
Mayer was first elected to the New York State Assembly on March 20, 2012, in a special election to succeed Spano, and was re-elected three times.
Mayer was elected to the State Senate to represent the 37th District in a special election held on April 24, 2018 after the office was vacated by Westchester County Executive George Latimer. She was subsequently re-elected in 2020, 2022, and 2024. Mayer appeared on the Democratic, Working Families, and Women's Equality Party lines and won by a margin of 62% to 48%. Mayer attributed her electoral victory to broad support from diverse political groups, including progressives, Democrats, labor unions, and women's advocacy organizations.
Later in 2018, despite the district being deemed competitive by pundits, Mayer was unopposed for a full-term. With Democrats retaking the majority, Mayer is serving as Chair of Committee on Education.
