Vivian Cook

Vivian E. Cook (born May 23, 1937) She began representing District 32 in the Assembly in 1991. Assembly District 32 comprises all or portions of the neighborhoods Jamaica, Locust Manor, Richmond Hill, Rochdale Village, St. Albans, and South Ozone Park in Southeast Queens.

In 2018, a former staffer sued Cook, alleging racial discrimination and alleging that Cook created a "hostile and intimidating work environment". Specifically, the plaintiff claimed that Cook "used racial slurs disparaging mixed race individuals" and "called her a 'whore' and a 'prostitute' for wearing sleeveless dresses".

Cook has served as chair of the Assembly Committee on Standing Committees.

Cook helped to obtain $30 million in capital funding for Rochdale Village.
