About the Candidates

Ramos, 70, of Bay Shore, was first elected to the State Assembly in 2002 and currently serves as deputy speaker. A retired Suffolk County police detective, he spent 20 years with the department, including a decade working undercover narcotics investigations. Before his law enforcement career, Ramos worked as an emergency medical technician and a therapy aide at Pilgrim Psychiatric Center.

Ramos has emphasized public education funding, property tax relief, civil rights and public safety during his time in office. He has highlighted increased state aid for school districts, including Brentwood, as a way to reduce pressure on local property taxpayers.
