[1] After law school, she resided for a short time in Chicago and clerked for a federal district court judge.
[1] In 1995, she and her husband, Dan Sinykin, purchased Roller Fabrics, a textile manufacturer, and moved back to Milwaukee.
[2] During that decade, Sinykin worked in private legal practice, but later joined her father's law firm, Habush Habush & Rottier S.C.[1] Sinykin joined Midwest Environmental Advocates in 2003, using her legal background to lobby the state legislature on environmental issues and water law.
[1] After the passage of the Compact, Sinykin managed a number of lawsuits against state and local governments over environmental issues.
[4] Sinykin made her first bid for elected office in 2023, following the early resignation of state senator Alberta Darling.
Darling's resignation from the 8th Senate district left Republicans one seat short of a supermajority in the upper chamber of the Wisconsin Legislature and necessitated a Spring special election.
The district contained a large volume of traditionally Republican suburbs which had been trending toward Democrats since the election of Donald Trump in 2016.
After the Wisconsin Supreme Court's redistricting decision, Republicans in the legislature opted to accept a remedial plan proposed by Democratic governor Tony Evers, which was enacted in February 2024.
