Life

She was born in 1938. She entered politics as a Republican.

In November 1980, she was elected in the 142nd District to the New York State Assembly, unseating the 22-year-incumbent Democrat Stephen R. Greco. She sat in the 184th New York State Legislature in 1981 and 1982. At the re-apportionment in 1982, the area of her residence was joined with parts of the old 144th District to form the new 144th District. In November 1982, she ran for re-election, but was defeated by Democrat William B. Hoyt, the incumbent of the old 144th District.[1]

In September 1985, Carol Siwek ran in the Republican primary for Mayor of Buffalo, but was defeated by the incumbent Mayor James D. Griffin, a registered Democrat. Griffin lost the Democratic primary, and was re-elected on the Republican, Conservative and Right to Life tickets.[2]

Her daughter Donna M. Siwek (born 1961) took office as a Justice of the New York Supreme Court in January 2001.[3]
