Is Audrey Pheffer Moving On?

Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer and Gloria D'Amico, Queens County Clerk

An article in the January 13, 2011 issue of the Queens Chronicle South reports that our local State Assemblywoman, Audrey Pheffer, may be considering changing jobs.

Speculation has been swirling that Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer (D-Ozone Park) is a favorite to be appointed to the Queens County clerk job, left vacant by the death last month of Gloria D’Amico, who had served in that capacity since 1991.

If Pheffer does assume the post, Gov. Cuomo would likely call a special election to fill the remaining time left in her Assembly term.

Nothing is official, however, and Pheffer is currently serving in her role as assemblywoman. But, she did tell the Queens Chronicle that the move would interest her….“If the position is offered to me, I would consider accepting it,” Pheffer said.
