Fuschillo Triumphs in State Senate Race

State Sen. Charles Fuschillo, R-Merrick, soundly defeated Democratic challenger Carol Gordon Tuesday to earn an eighth term in Albany.

With 77 percent of precincts reporting, Fuschillo garnered 66 percent of the vote, 40,126 to 20,845. It marks the third straight State Senate election for the Eighth District that Fuschillo has defeated Gordon, a Massapequa resident who is a former mental health clinic manager and patient advocate at the Department of Veteran Affairs. 

Sen. Fuschillo, who was first elected to Albany in 1998, chairs the Senate Transportation committees and sponsored several anti-drunk driving laws including Leandra's Law. Fuschillo also authored New York State's telemarketer Do Not Call Registry law and helped create the Bioscience Center at Farmingdale State College. He serves on the Senate Committees on Civil Service and Pensions; Codes; Commerce, Economic Development, and Small Business; Consumer Protection; Energy & Telecommunications; Finance; Health; Judiciary; and Rules. 

The Eighth District Fuschillo serves includes Seaford, Wantagh, Massapequa, Massapequa Park, East Massapequa, Farmingdale, Freeport, Merrick, North Bellmore, North Merrick, Roosevelt Amityville, Copiague and Lindenhurst.

Lazy is as lazy does. And yet another useless incumbent is voted in. Hope you all enjoy paying your tax bills, which Mr. Fuschillo (or is that Fullashitto?) could care less about. Call his office, see for yourself. And where was he during Sandy? Wake up LI.

the one thing i can say is this , I voted for him BECAUSE he does care and while he cant be ALL things to ALL people he does care about the people he represents.

He at least responds to when you contact his office, which appalling as this may be, is saying a lot more than most of the others who are supposed to be concerned about my interests.

Senator Fuschillo honestly earned another term in Albany. He has certainly carried on the excellent tradition established by his predecessor, Norman Levy, of looking out for our best interests for the past 13 years.

Really? And what has he done about the absurd taxes? How has he tried to lure businesses to LI? What has he done to make young people afford to stay and live on LI? Even his picture is a lie. It must have been taken when he was first voted in. Please.

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!
