| Friend, I was born and raised in Highland Mills, New York, and attended the State University of New York at Delhi, the City University of New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy at Quantico, Virginia. I am from a proud family of cops and wanted to serve!  I proudly served in the New York City Police Department for nearly 25 years, rising to the rank of Deputy Inspector and Commanding Officer of the 70th Police Precinct. Following in the footsteps of my father, NYPD Chief Michael Esposito, I joined the force because I believed that those who are in danger and cannot defend themselves have the right to be safe, free, and protected.  I then became a member of the Anti-Crime team, a plainclothes unit targeting violent street crime. After taking down some of the worst criminals, I joined the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit (S.W.A.T. Rescue Team). I also served in various other roles, including the Commander of Detective Squads, NYPD’s Gang Unit, and the Commander of a Forensics Unit. My career culminated as a Precinct Commander. I was on a path to becoming an NYPD Chief, but I decided to leave my career in law enforcement to pursue a greater calling, running as the New York State Lieutenant Governor candidate alongside Congressman and Army veteran Lee Zeldin.  The Zeldin-Esposito ticket garnered more votes than any Republican statewide in decades. Throughout our historic state-wide campaign, I traveled to all 62 counties and heard from New Yorkers from all walks of life who were fed up with the outsized power of one-party Democrat rule in Washington, D.C. and New York City. Now, I am committed to harnessing the energy of the commonsense wave, which brought New Yorkers from all walks of life and political ideologies together with the common purpose of putting the needs of their families and creating a better way of life before their political backgrounds.  Throughout my career, I have witnessed fatally flawed pro-criminal policies like cashless bail, an ever-growing migrant crisis overtaking our country, a fatal fentanyl crisis, sky-high inflation, and rogue District Attorneys refusing to enforce the law, contributing to our cities and states becoming less safe. Now more than ever, New York needs capable, determined, and courageous leaders with integrity who will protect everyday New Yorkers, drive down their cost of living, and be their voice in Congress to fight against the failed policies of those progressive elected officials who have turned away from their constituents and chosen to put Power before People.  So, now that you’ve learned a little more about me, I’m going to humbly ask for your support. I need you to rush whatever you’re able below to make sure I have the resources necessary to fight for you and defend New York. Please rush an emergency donation below to help me hit my FIRST FUNDRAISING GOAL OF 2024!
Thanks for your continued support! - Alison Esposito |
