Third Edition of the Candidate Spotlight Series

Congressman Lee Zeldin

Lee Zeldin was born and raised on Long Island. He grew up in Suffolk County and graduated from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, where his identical twin daughters attend school today. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Albany and then his law degree from Albany Law School, becoming New York’s youngest attorney at the time at the age of 23. Lee spent four years on Active Duty with the U.S. Army after completing ROTC and served in different capacities, including as a Military Intelligence Officer, Prosecutor, and Military Magistrate. In the summer of 2006, while assigned to the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division, Lee deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of fellow paratroopers in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Lewis County Sheriff Mike Carpinelli

Hailing from Kingston in Ulster County, Mr. Carpinelli said he attended community college there and served in the Army before joining law enforcement in New Paltz. He eventually moved to Rochester and worked in law enforcement there, too, until his retirement in 2006, when he moved to Osceola. For almost six years after coming to the area, he worked as a part-time deputy for the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, until he was elected sheriff in 2011. Read more here.
