Joann Kagan Downey (born October 31, 1966) is an American Democratic Party politician representing the 11th Legislative District in the New Jersey General Assembly.

Early Life

Downey was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers University, where she studied Political Science and English, a Juris Doctor from New York Law School and a Masters of Social Work from Boston University School of Social Work.[1] After graduating from Freehold Township High School, Downey was accepted to the New Jersey State Police, inspired by her father, who was a New Jersey State Trooper. Downey ultimately decided to pursue a law degree and prosecutorial work instead.[2] She went on to serve as Deputy State Attorney General, working in the Department of Children and Families. Downey cites this experience as the impetus that moved her to work toward her Masters in Social Work.[2]

New Jersey Assembly

Downey was elected to the General Assembly alongside running mate Eric Houghtaling in November 2015.[3] Their victory was considered by many to be an unexpected upset.[4] In July 2018 Downey and fellow Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling accused fellow Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso of violating the Truth-In-Caller ID while sending out robocalls. [5]
