Sam, a successful businessman and native Staten Islander, has been elected as the next Assemblyman for the 63rd District of Staten Island. As a husband and father, Sam has advocated for the issues that concern Staten Island families for his entire life.

Sam has been recognized as an education advocate, looking to reform and build our education system in New York State to ensure our children receive the most advanced and competitive education in the world. He is also a strong advocate for law enforcement and will fight to REfund the police.

As the new Assemblyman, Sam will craft legislation directed at a 100 percent repeal of the no bail laws that have been responsible for the murder of police officers and innocent civilians. He recognizes that the increase in violent deaths, the defunding of the police, the unscientific COVID mandates, and the shutdowns of schools and select businesses have been brought to Staten Island by the one-party rule of New York Democrats.

Sam is a true voice of opposition to the madness in Albany. He has successfully operated a family-owned optical practice for 33 years and led the educational community of Staten Island for seven years as a former president of Community Education Council 31. Some of his most notable accomplishments were the creation of a Gifted and Talented program for middle school students, the recommendation for the NYC Department of Education to hire retired police officers as school resource officers, and the successful fight for the immediate cleanup of toxic PCBs in classrooms.

Sam also serves as the Vice President of the New York City Parents Union, which has won and participated in historic litigation including the return of over $4 Billion to New York public schools that was defunded by disgraced former governor Cuomo. Sam Pirozzolo and his children, along with members of the NYC Parents Union, are plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit to improve the educational outcome for ALL of New York City’s public school children.

Sam’s dedication and passion for Staten Island families have earned him recognition from news outlets such as Fox News, Fox News Business, The Washington Post, New York Post, New York Daily News, and many other media outlets nationally, internationally, and locally.

As the newly elected Assemblyman, Sam is committed to returning to decency and common sense in 2022.
