Thomas Schiliro has never stopped looking for a new challenge, and a new way to serve the community. The 62-year-old, who lives in Manorville, has been a social studies teacher and a college professor. For the past two decades, he's been a Suffolk County parks police officer, and he's been politically active for most of his life.

Now, the Democrat wants to go to Albany to fight for Long Island. It doesn't seem like there will be much of a learning curve.| read more ››

Palumbo starts off his letter by saying “words have meaning,” and he’s right. Words matter.

Tom Schiliro, Assembly candidate for the 2nd District, was endorsed by the New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association (PBA).
