Morinello has an extensive background in the criminal justice system, including serving as the Niagara Falls City Court Judge from 2001-2015.

“I am honored to be appointed to this crucial role, and I’m eager to utilize the skills and experience I’ve gained through my years of legal and judicial experience to analyze and examine bills reviewed by this committee,” said Morinello. “My intention will always be to create safer and stronger communities for families and their loved ones to call home.”
