About 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.

In 2007, Lee returned to Suffolk County with his family. It was at this time that Lee transitioned from Active Duty to the Army Reserve, where he currently serves with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

In 2008, Lee established a successful law practice in Smithtown, NY. Elected to the New York State Senate two years later, in 2010, Lee’s been working hard every day since to keep the promises he made to the hard-working families he represents.

In the State Senate, Lee:

  • Led the successful effort to repeal the MTA Payroll Tax for 80 percent of employers, a job killing tax that was hurting small businesses. 

  • Cosponsored the nation’s strongest property tax cap, which became law.

  • Reduced middle-income tax rates in New York to the lowest level in 60 years.

  • Secured the repeal of the Saltwater Fishing License Fee.

  • Created the PFC Joseph Dwyer Veteran Peer Support Program to help our returning veterans cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). 

  • Authored the law to protect our fallen veterans and their families from protests at military burials. 

Lee was then elected to the United States Congress in 2014, representing New York’s First Congressional District, and has now won seven consecutive races since 2010 in purple NYC suburban districts, unseating two Democrat incumbents along the way. In Congress, Lee quickly became a leading voice in America on top local, domestic and foreign policy issues: 

  • Combating and defeating MS-13 on Long Island, leading the charge in New York and nationally against cashless bail, opposing all efforts to defund, dismantle or abolish police, and providing law enforcement the resources they need to fight gang violence and other crimes in our communities, including bulletproof vests.

  • Securing the repeal of many harmful, job killing regulations, with the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, and many other initiatives, to improve our business climate and grow our economy. 

  • Leading the charge to end all COVID mandates. 

  • Saving Plum Island, by securing the repeal of a 2008 federal law requiring the island to be sold off to the highest bidder. 

  • Delivering a $1.5 billion boost in border security resources, helping to choke off the flow of illegal migration across our borders. 

  • Introducing and passing into law his Adult Day Health Care legislation for disabled veterans and opening a new health care clinic for East End veterans.

  • Delivering the Electron Ion Collider “discovery machine” to Brookhaven National Lab that will enable advancements in national security, medical and cancer research, astrophysics, and more and create an extensive number of jobs. 

  • Advancing his law enforcement bill of rights, which would help ensure that our great law enforcement officers and the people they serve are protected.

  • Championing the expansion of the Dwyer Program nationally, to help all of our nation’s veterans access the resources they need. 

  • Securing much needed support of treatment, enforcement, and prevention for those affected by the heroin and opioid abuse crisis.

  • Leading the effort against the fatally flawed Iran Nuclear Deal.

  • Co-authoring a bipartisan resolution (H.Res. 246) that passed the House opposing the anti-Israel and antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.

  • Working with the Army Corps of Engineers to protect our coastlines, advancing the ambitious Fire Island to Montauk Point project, in addition to several other vital projects on the north and south shores of Long Island.

  • Co-Chairing the Long Island Sound Caucus and advancing top priorities for the Long Island Sound Program, National Estuary Program and SeaGrant.

  • Co-chairing, as one of only two Jewish Republicans in Congress, the House Republican Israel Caucus, and serving on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Financial Services Committee, as well as four House Subcommittees.

  • Successfully resolving over 17,000 constituent cases in favor of his constituents.

Lee and his wife, Diana, reside in Shirley with their twin fifteen-year old daughters, Mikayla and Arianna.

Watch the press conference here.

NEW YORK – Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), the Republican Party and Conservative Party nominee for Governor, demanded action at the site of Tuesday’s brazen Post Office robbery on Castle Hill Avenue in the Bronx.

Congressman Lee Zeldin Statement on Release of Career Criminal Who Attacked Two NYPD Officers in Manhattan

Renews Calls for Special Session to Reverse Crime Spike

NEW YORK – Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), the Republican Party and Conservative Party nominee for Governor, slammed the release of Nathaniel Turner, who allegedly punched a NYPD Officer and tried to bite another NYPD Officer as they tried to stop him from doing drugs on the street. Turner is a career criminal and lifetime parolee who was released without bail following this attack.

Congressman Zeldin said, “If you assault a police officer, you should not be free to roam New York’s streets, and you especially should not be let out without bail. Criminals who assault a police officer should be placed in mandatory pre-trial confinement. A pre-trial release should be rare and considered the exception rather than the norm. Never should that release be without bail.

“Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Paul McDonnell has yet again refused to enforce the law. This is the second case this week in which he allowed a recidivist to walk free on the streets of New York City. He released Turner even though the prosecutor requested $20,000 bail.

“Members of the NYPD, and police forces across the state, are being shown time and again that our elected officials do not have their backs, not in New York City, and not in Albany.”

Congressman Lee Zeldin Slams Hochul for Failure to Fire Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg After He Released Man Who Then Attempted to Rape 15-Year-Old

Zeldin Again Calls on Hochul to Repeal Dangerous Cashless Bail Law

NEW YORK – Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), the Republican Party and Conservative Party nominee for Governor, issued the following statement slamming Governor Kathy Hochul for her continued refusal to fire Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after he released a robbery suspect – Anthony Ibanez – by downgrading his charges and releasing him on cashless bail, before Ibanez then allegedly attempted to rape a 15-year-old:

“While Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg continues his refusal to enforce the law, everyday New Yorkers are paying the price. Kathy Hochul has the authority to fire Alvin Bragg and protect New Yorkers, but time and time again she has refused to even criticize him for his refusal to do his job. In fact, she said we should cut him some slack. New Yorkers can’t afford to cut him some slack and the Ibanez case is just the most recent in a long line of stories that illustrate exactly why. I won’t stand on the sidelines. On Day 1, I’ll tell Alvin Bragg he’s fired, and fight tooth and nail to repeal cashless bail and secure our streets.”
