Mooradian Launches Campaign for Niagara County Legislature

Doug Mooradian officially announced his candidacy today for Niagara County Legislator in the 7th District, pledging to deliver accountable and results-driven leadership for the residents of Wheatfield and North Tonawanda.

For more than two decades, Mooradian has dedicated himself to strengthening the community that he has been fortunate to call home. A trusted business professional and lifelong volunteer, he has served as a board president, fundraising chairman, youth coach, and community advocate — always focused on bringing people together to get meaningful work done.

Mooradian previously ran for New York State Assembly in 2022, an experience he says reinforced his belief that local government works best when leaders prioritize practical solutions over partisan labels.

“During my last campaign, I had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of residents across Niagara County,” Mooradian said. “While we may identify as Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, most of us want the same things at the local level — safe neighborhoods, responsible spending, economic opportunity, and leadership that listens. Our community is more united than some may think.”

Mooradian emphasized that serving in the Legislature requires more than simply holding a title — it requires listening, preparation, transparency, and follow-through.

“The 7th District deserves a representative who studies the issues, shows up prepared to ask tough questions, and works collaboratively to deliver results,” he said. “I am running to be that kind of Legislator — someone focused on progress, accountability, and putting our community first.”

Throughout his career, Mooradian has led successful multi-year fundraising efforts for Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and the Boys & Girls Club, helping secure critical resources for families throughout the region. He has served on numerous boards and committees and considers coaching his two sons’ youth sports teams among his most rewarding experiences.

Born and raised in Niagara Falls, Doug is the son of a longtime school teacher and a former Corporation Counsel for the city. He and his wife, Jennifer, have proudly called Wheatfield home since 2017, where they are raising their two sons.

A longtime Independent, Mooradian appreciates the opportunity to appear on the ballot as the endorsed Democratic candidate and looks forward to earning the trust and support of district voters.
