Rosenthal earned a B.A. degree in history from the University of Rochester[2] in 1980.[1] She served as an assistant to Congressman Jerry Nadler for thirteen years. She was elected to the State Assembly in a February 2006 special election to replace Scott Stringer, who left the Assembly to become Manhattan Borough President.[3][4] Rosenthal won the November 2008 general election with 84.7 percent of the vote[5] and ran uncontested in the November 2010 general election.[6]

In the Assembly, Rosenthal sits on the Housing, Energy, Agriculture, Corporations, and Alcohol and Drug Abuse Committees. In 2006, the New York State Legislature passed Assemblymember Rosenthal's landmark legislation allowing court orders of protection to be extended to pets.

She resides on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[2]
