Experience, Justice, and Compassion are what Monroe County designated candidate Mark Muoio for City Court is promising once elected into office. As the current Monroe County Legislature for District 21–representing the North Winton Village, Beechwood and Bensonhurst neighborhoods, and Director of Housing and Consumer Law Unit at The Legal Aid Society of Rochester, Muoio has proven his commitment to the City of Rochester and assisted in his legal knowledge needed to be a City Court Judge.

In the last 18 months, Mark has worked with the Mayor’s Office, members of Rochester City Council, local judges, and others to bring immediate reforms to civil court and provide a vision of what a more just civil court would look like, such as having a single judge sitting in a dedicated Housing Court and allowing tenants a streamlined right of action to sue landlords for housing code violations.
As a Legislator, Muoio advocates for more ethical and transparent County government and has worked closely with the Monroe County Department of Human Services to ensure all residents receive their entitled assistance– recently assembling a task force expert and elected officials to address the disparities in DHS sanctions. As Director of Housing and Consumer Law Unit, he fights daily to ensure affordable housing for city residents, safeguarding housing security and combating homelessness.
