ANDREW A. MONTELEONE
Republican
BACKGROUND:
- Monteleone, 47, of Syosset, practices criminal defense and personal injury law as a partner in a Mineola law firm. He is also running on the Conservative and Independence party lines.

ISSUES:
- His priorities include changes to current bail reform legislation, saying the "extreme to which the Democrats in power went was … unnecessary," and opposes any police funding decreases.
