Stephanie Bontempi For Suffolk County Legislator (18th L.D.)

Stephanie Bontempi, a former teacher and immigrant from Sweden, was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in November, 2021.  Since assuming office, she has served on a variety of committees, most recently the Public Safety, Ways & Means, Economic Development & Planning and Housing, Education (Chair), Labor (Co-chair), and Health (Co-chair) committees. Some of Stephanie’s most noteworthy accomplishments include term-limit legislation, preservation of open space, public safety enhancements, termination of the redlight camera program,  and the strengthening of animal abuse legislation.

A Town of Huntington resident for over thirty years, Stephanie decided to run for office once her three children had grown up. Having raised a family on Long Island, Stephanie understands the challenges many face, so she wanted to be a voice for her district in County government.  Fiscally conservative and socially moderate, Stephanie’s priorities include safe communities, job creation and smart development, support for veterans and seniors, and protection of the environment.

Stephanie holds a B.S. in Business Administration, a M.S. in Education, and a M.S. in Education, Information, & Technology.
