Jarrett C. Gandolfo

Republican

BACKGROUND

• Gandolfo, 36, of Sayville, is a registered Republican and is running on the Republican and Conservative lines. 
• He served three terms in the state Assembly’s 7th District. 
• Gandolfo earned a bachelor’s in criminal justice from SUNY Albany and a master’s in public administration from Villanova University. 

ISSUES

• Gandolfo cited work on sewer infrastructure improvements and helping secure grants for downtown pedestrian safety improvements, equipment to maintain athletic fields and for police training facility improvements as achievements while an assemblyman.
• He said if elected to the state Senate, he’d like to help ensure that Long Island’s aquifer is protected and that the Great South Bay and South Shore beaches remain clean.
• Gandolfo would like to continue to work on rolling back some bail reform laws so there’s not a “revolving door of offenders” and find ways to lower the cost of living for residents, including tax credits to offset childcare costs.
