Joe DeStefano worked side by side with us for 27 years as a Public Safety Communication Supervisor in the Suffolk Sheriff's office. When the opportunity arose for him to continue his service, he stepped up to the plate and ran for the state assembly. In Albany, we know he has our back. After the COVID virus hit, Joe sponsored legislation to designate emergency dispatchers and operators “First Responder” status. He supports the various bills and initiatives that are important to us and is a full-time advocate of the working men and women of our county.
I'm proud to receive the endorsement of the the National Rifle Association of America, the number one gun rights advocacy in the United States.

They deliver the services we expect and depend on and show their dedication to our communities and neighborhoods everyday when they show up for work. I support them and am grateful that they support me.
I appreciate being recognized for my long-time support of the men and women who get up every day and go to work. They are what makes our country great.
