Trotta, 63, of Fort Salonga, is competing in the Republican primary in the Smithtown supervisor's race.
He is a graduate of C.W. Post College and he received a master’s degree in labor management from Stony Brook University.
He is a Suffolk County legislator who is serving his sixth term representing the 13th District.

Trotta said he is opposed to overdevelopment in areas such as Kings Park. He has been critical of several projects up for approval in the area, such as a proposal for a multimillion-dollar apartment complex.
If elected, Trotta said, he will seek to put limits on development in Kings Park and the town. Trotta says he favors having a small number of apartments and condominiums and wants to focus on revitalizing downtown Kings Park with better signs and lighting, as well as burying power lines underground.
Trotta also said he supports term limits for elected officials in Smithtown.
