The 94th Assembly District includes portions of Westchester and Putnam counties. McDonough has lived in Mahopac, a hamlet of Carmel, for more than 50 years.

She graduated from Mahopac High School and a few years later married Jimmy McDonough.

“I am pro-life, pro Second Amendment and support a compassionate yet limited government. Our communities deserve a respected conservative voice in Albany to watch out for our families and our state. We kick off this exploratory phase to listen directly to the people," McDonough said.

"I raised five children in Mahopac, ran a business, worked on the most pressing constituent, community and legislative issues as a senior staff member for the state legislatur, and currently serve on the Carmel Town Board. I’ve seen first hand that New York State is heading in the wrong direction. Whether the issue be property taxes, the SAFE Act or late-term abortion, now more than ever, we must stand up as New Yorkers to protect and defend our way of life from Albany overreach."

McDonough has coached basketball and softball, was the director of the St. John's CYO basketball program and was a team leader for the Relay for Life. After the death of her father and husband, McDonough started a nonprofit organization that helps families deal with the diagnosis of cancer.

McDonough is a coach for the Special Olympics, continues to participate in the Relay for Life, provides scholarships to several Mahopac High School seniors and works for state Senate.

“Over the next several months, my goal is to meet as many of my neighbors in Putnam and Westchester counties as possible. I want to hear from you, listen to you and, I will be going door to door to do exactly that. There are no easy answers but working together, we can build opportunity for everyone. I look forward to meeting you in person,” McDonough said.

The 94th Assembly District elections will occur in 2016.
