Barbara J. Fiala is the former Commissioner of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and County Executive of Broome County, New York.[1] Fiala also served as Broome County Clerk from 1999 to 2004.[1] She was the first female County Executive of Broome County and served as President of the New York State Association of County Executives.[2] On July 30, 2015, Fiala officially announced her candidacy for the New York State Senate's 52nd district. The seat became vacant after then-Senator Thomas W. Libous was convicted of a Federal felony of lying to the FBI.[1] Fiala was defeated in the November election by Fred Akshar, the Republican nominee.[3]
