  • The 2020 Long Island Power 100
    haveseen/Shutterstock Power 100 The 2020 Long Island Power 100 The leaders of Nassau and Suffolk SHARE: Where Long Island goes, so goes New York. Two years ago, Democrats picked up several Long Island seats in the state Senate, which proved pivotal in giving the party full control of the state Legislature and ushered in a wave of progressive policymaking. This year, Republicans bounced back on Long Island, holding onto their House seats while proving more competitive in state legislative contests as well. City & State’s Long Island Power 100 reflects those shifting political winds, highlighting not only the most powerful political figures in Nassau and Suffolk counties – elected officials, government appointees, business and labor leaders, academics and advocates – but also how they stack up against each other in 2020. 96. Lynda Perdomo-Ayala Chair, Suffolk County Human Rights Commission In a letter to Newsday in May, Lynda Perdomo-Ayala urged Long Islanders to take a stand against racism after the Suffolk County Human Rights Commission saw an increase in harassment and attacks aimed at Asian and Asian Pacific American community members. Appointed as chair a year ago, Perdomo-Ayala is a licensed master social worker and serves as administrator in the Department of Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University Medical Center. 1.
