Anthony Capone, 32, of Valley Stream, is a registered Republican and is running on the Republican and Conservative party lines in the general election. This is his first bid for public office.
He is the former chief of the Valley Stream Fire Department and has been a volunteer firefighter for more than a decade.
Capone is a partner in his family’s business, North Star Auto Collision and North Star Auto Body, and is a member of the Valley Stream Architectural Review Board.

Capone said that if elected he wants to invest in programs that help individuals and businesses succeed in a straining fiscal environment, including Rebound on the Road, a nonprofit aimed at supporting individuals battling substance abuse issues.
He said he wants to work within the constraints of the county’s budget and would only vote to raise taxes as a “last resort” to support public safety.
Capone said he supports programs that boost recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters on Long Island. He said he would support an expansion of those programs if they didn’t become too financially burdensome.
