Julia Harrison
Julia Harrison (born June 10, 1920) is a Democrat who served as a New York City Councilwoman from Flushing, Queens, from 1986 to 2001, when newly enacted term-limit regulations forced her to relinquish her seat. Previously, she represented the 26th district in the New York State Assembly from 1984 to 1985 after working for many years as a community and political activist. Since leaving the council, she has continued to be politically active, most recently winning the post of Democratic female district leader from Assembly District 22 Part B, in 2010.〔Creator's Sketch, Councilwoman Julia Harrison Records, 1942-1943, 1948, 1956-2001 (Bulk 1968-2001), Archives at Queens Library〕
