Dinowitz Names New Chief of Staff

Yet another potential candidate, Randi Martos, who has expressed interest in Council Member Oliver Koppell’s seat, is now Jeff Dinowitz’s new chief of staff, the assemblyman announced last week. For the past few years, Martos, a Riverdale native and Bronx Science alum, has served as Dinowitz’s district office manager, directing daily operations of the office.

“Randi has been an incredible asset to my office and to the entire neighborhood,” Dinowitz said in a statement.

Martos was elected Democratic Female District Leader for the 81st Assembly District in 2006 and is a member of the Benjamin Franklin Reform Democratic Club’s executive board.
