Senator Murray Hosts Pizza and Politics Fundraiser
“Pizza and Politics” were on the menu at a recent fundraiser hosted by Senator Dean Murray at Alfredo’s in Ridge. The former Assemblyman is seeking his second two-year term in the legislature’s upper house.
“The turnout was amazing, and the energy for my reelection is fantastic,” Murray said. “I know l have an opponent with experience in running for state office, so I am running like I'm 10 points down and will continue to run hard until the polls close at 9 p.m. on November 5th.”
Serving in New York’s 3rd Senatorial District, Murray has been a consistent voice in Albany to make Suffolk a safer, more affordable place to live. He stands against cashless bail, illegal immigration, and the Albany mandates that add to the cost of living. He makes sure local schools get their fair share of state education funding and was successful in blocking congestion pricing in Manhattan that would have fallen on Long Islanders visiting or making a living in the city. He was also at the forefront of preventing state bureaucrats from usurping local zoning authority to create multi-family housing wherever they wanted.
Senator Murray is the Ranking Member of the Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business Committee, as well as Libraries and Social Services. He also serves on Budget and Revenue, Codes, and Higher Education. The Albany veteran represented the Assembly’s 3rd District from 2010 to 2013 and again from 2015 to 2019. Murray is running in a district that covers much of south-central Suffolk County, including portions of Brookhaven and Islip.
