Burroughs, 50, of Hempstead, is a registered Democrat and is running on the Democratic and Working Families party lines in the general election. This is his second bid for State Assembly.
Burroughs taught history and English language arts in the Hempstead Union Free School District and has been a Hempstead Village trustee since 2022.
He earned his undergraduate degree at the University at Buffalo and his master’s degree in special education and strategic leadership at Touro University.

Burroughs said that if elected he would focus on affordability issues and work with federal partners to boost funding to groups with programs that help residents obtain and keep housing.
He said he would work to protect residents’ civil rights and ensure there are no cooperative agreements between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local law enforcement and that children aren’t separated from their parents during enforcement actions.
Burroughs said he would fight what he called a stripping of voters’ rights that critics have said make it more difficult to vote. He said he also would fight what he called a downward trend in safety with continued law enforcement funding and seek to improve Tier 6 pension benefits in the state retirement system.
