After his 2019 victory made him as the first Republican elected to represent the 8th District since 1984, Suffolk County Legislator Anthony Piccirillo (R-Holtsville) has been a staunch advocate for taxpayers, public safety, and transparent government.
With a distinct brand of retail politics, Piccirillo is constantly observed in the public setting, while also delivering common-sense votes and legislation for Suffolk County. His cooperation with both public and private entities gives him a comprehensive view of municipal work, as well as an understanding that small business is the backbone of Suffolk.
With his chairmanship of the Government Operations, Personnel, Information Technology & Diversity Committee, the Environment, Parks & Agriculture Committee, and vice chairmanship of the Veterans and Consumer Affairs Committee, Piccirillo has a wide breadth of knowledge pertaining to protecting our Veterans, preserving our environment and protecting our suburban culture. Additionally, his chairmanship of the Investigation Committee into the 2022 county-wide cyber attack has put him on the spotlight as a fierce fighter for government transparency and an advocate for renewed technology safety and procedures.
The Messenger endorses Legislator Anthony Piccirillo for Suffolk County Legislature, District Eight.
The Messenger’s forecast for this seat: Safe Republican.
