A native New Yorker, Mr. Suozzi was born and raised in Glen Cove in Nassau County. He is a graduate of Boston College and the Fordham University School of Law.
Prior to being elected to Congress, Mr. Suozzi served as mayor of Glen Cove from 1994–2001 and as Nassau County Executive from 2002–2009. He has also held senior positions in the private sector.
In the 118th Congress, Rep. Suozzi serves on the House Committees on Homeland Security and Budget. Each committee has jurisdiction over key elements of federal flooding, resilience, and disaster recovery policies and programs.
Spanning northeastern Queens and the North Shore of Long Island, New York’s 3rd Congressional district faces considerable flood risk from higher sea levels and increasingly extreme rainfall. The region saw significant impacts from Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Rep. Suozzi and his wife, Helene, have three children and live in Glen Cove.
