With Early Voting starting on Sunday, October 24th, we are excited to remind you of our strong endorsement for Joe DeStefano in the race for New York Assembly District 3!

Joe is not only a dedicated public servant but also one of our own, a Suffolk AME brother with 27 years of service as a Public Safety Communication Supervisor in the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. Currently, Joe continues his involvement with us through the AME Retirees Unit.

His commitment to our community extends beyond law enforcement—Joe has also served the Medford Fire Department and the Medford Volunteer Ambulance, exemplifying a lifelong dedication to public safety and service.

Joe’s campaign focuses on the issues that matter most to us:

• Public Safety
• Affordability
• Local Control
• Taxpayer Accountability

Having Joe represent us in Albany means we have a trusted voice advocating for Suffolk County residents and for the hardworking members of Suffolk AME. There is a unique benefit to having one of our own fighting for our interests in government, ensuring our concerns are heard and addressed.

We ask all Suffolk AME members who reside in Assembly District 3 to make their voices heard by voting for Joe DeStefano. And if you know friends, family, or colleagues who are registered voters in District 3, please encourage them to join us in supporting Joe.
