Jane Lewis Corwin (born February 29, 1964)[1] is an American politician and businesswoman who currently serves a Commissioner of the International Joint Commission for United States and Canada.

[1] She worked on Wall Street from 1987 to 1990 as a research director for Henry Ansbacher, Inc.,[1] a British financial firm that helped large media conglomerates acquire small, locally owned newspapers.

[9] She also served on the board of directors of the Talking Phone Book as Secretary-Treasurer beginning in 1987,[1] making strategic decisions for the company.

[9] After completing her education in 1990, she returned to Western New York State to marry Philip M. Corwin II whom she had met in graduate school.

[9] In recent years, she has given $500 college scholarships to local public high school students, and has indicated she has not taken any tax benefits for her donations.

[13][14] Corwin went on to defeat Working Families Party candidate Jeffrey Bono in the November 2008 general election, receiving 89 percent of the vote.

[15][16] She ran uncontested in the November 2010 general election, receiving endorsements from the Conservative and Independence parties of New York State.

Corwin said that if elected, she would work to cut federal government spending, reduce taxes and repeal the health care overhaul that was enacted by the Democratic majority Congress in 2010.

[30] When answering Project Vote Smart's "Political Courage" survey in 2008, Corwin replied that she believes abortion should be legal in the first trimester of pregnancy and in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is endangered.

[33] The Hill said the Medicare issue seemed to be boosting Hochul's campaign, though it was difficult to handicap the race because of the presence of the third-party candidate.

[37] Additional polling by Siena and PPP in the days immediately preceding the election had Hochul leading by four and six point margins.

[26][41] The video clip was circulated by local and national Republican organizations[42] and prompted bipartisan criticism of both Davis and Mallia.

[41][43] In an interview with the National Journal, Corwin said she thought the video was self-explanatory, and indicated that Mallia had been acting on his own free time, and not as her employee while he was tracking and taping her opponent, Davis.

The order would impound all voting equipment, temporarily enjoin the canvas of paper ballots and bar the certification of the winner pending further court proceedings.

[3] Philip was previously the chief financial officer of the Talking Phone Book and has been active in Erie County politics.
