Tom Schiliro for Assembly

Welcome!

Welcome to my new website! I'm Tom Schiliro, and I'm running for the NY State Assembly, Second District. The Second Assembly District extends from Mount Sinai all the way east on the North Fork of Long Island to Orient Point and includes Fishers Island. It is 89 Election Districts: All of the Town of Southold, all of the Town of Riverhead, and part of the Town of Brookhaven.

I've been a Police Supervisor, a teacher, and a small business owner, but most importantly, as a true Long Islander, I understand the many challenges we face as we try to build a better future in the North Fork. My pledge is to be a strong voice for all of us in the district and I hope to count on your support as your representative in Albany.

Schiliro: Palumbo’s misinformation hurts New York women

October 16, 2014

I read incumbent Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo’s recent letter to the editor in Riverhead LOCAL with disbelief. Palumbo insists that we need to “stop playing politics with women’s rights,” but unfortunately he’s the one playing politics when it comes to denying women their rights.

Palumbo starts off his letter by saying “words have meaning,” and he’s right. Words matter. Words like Palumbo’s ridiculous claims that passing the Women’s Equality Act (WEA) would allow dentists to perform abortions and would exempt doctors from criminal charges. I didn’t make these claims up – Mr. Palumbo said them in public and on the record! | read more ››
