New City, NY – Today, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski (D-Rockland) released the following statement announcing his decision against seeking re-election:

“It has been a profound honor to serve as a member of the N.Y.S. Assembly for the past seventeen years. I want to thank the residents of Rockland County for the privilege of fighting for them and representing our neighborhoods during these nine terms. I am proud of my statewide legislative record and what I have delivered locally for Rockland County, but I certainly did not do it alone. I would not be here without the family, friends and volunteers that helped me deliver a positive and substantive message and the voters who put their faith in me. I’m also thankful to my colleagues, staff and public policy partners for their friendship and collaboration on so many issues. While it is time for a new chapter in my career, I intend to stay active locally and in New York State. Serving in State Government is an amazing responsibility and every day I strived to execute the job with the seriousness and professionalism it deserves.”

Assemblyman Zebrowski was first elected in a special election on May 1, 2007, and was re-elected in 2022 to his 9th term. He chairs the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions. The 96th Assembly District includes the entire Towns of Clarkstown and Haverstraw and a portion of the Town of Orangetown.

May is traditionally the month when nurses are recognized worldwide, in part because May 12 is the birthday of Florence Nightingale. She professionalized nursing roles for women and is known as the founder of modern nursing.

In celebration of National Nurses Month, Rockland County Legislature Vice Chair Dr. Aney Paul, a longtime nurse herself, presented the Distinguished Service Award— the Legislature’s highest honor— to three exceptional nurses: Glenn Albin, Dr. Gaelle Duvivier, and Mary Laiju Shine Kelanthara. These honorees were recognized for their professional excellence and dedicated community service.

  • Glenn Albin transitioned from accounting to healthcare, serving as a paramedic and emergency room nurse for over four decades. He mentors new nurses and teaches advanced life support, while actively participating in the Knights of Columbus and South Orangetown Ambulance Corps.

  • Dr. Gaelle Duvivier, a Certified Nurse Midwife and educator, works with New York Presbyterian and SUNY Rockland. She advocates for women’s health, leads health fairs, and researches ways to improve breastfeeding and reduce health disparities.

  • Mary Laiju Shine Kelanthara, with 28 years of nursing experience, serves as an Infection Control Nurse at HVDDSO. She’s also a passionate volunteer, fundraiser, church educator, and South Indian TV actress.

Dr. Paul praised the honorees for making “a positive difference every day” in the lives of Rockland County residents.
