D'Esposito Officially Gets Party Backing For Reelection Bid

ISLAND PARK, NY — Congressman Anthony D'Esposito (R-Island Park) was officially nominated for reelection as the Republican nominee from the 4th Congressional District.

In 2022, D'Esposito flipped the seat red for the first time since 1997 after the retirement of Kathleen Rice. He defeated former Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen with 51.8 percent of the vote.

"I am running for re-election in order to continue fighting for commonsense Long Island values in Congress and to ensure our district remains represented by someone focused on advancing the interests of Nassau County neighbors, and NOT the regressive policies of Washington progressives," D'Esposito said.

However, the Cook Political Report has D'Esposito's seat among a dozen as Republican toss-ups in November.

Gillen is seeking a rematch with the incumbent. She'll first face the Democratic primary on June 25.

Since taking office in January 2023, D'Esposito introduced 23 bills and co-sponsored more than 200 others.

Listed by his office as the top legislative victories were "whipping support for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his failure to secure America’s Southern Border and helping to pass House Republicans' comprehensive border security bill."
