John Giuffre is seeking another term in the Nassau County Legislature, where he said his focus remains on public safety, fiscal responsibility and infrastructure. Giuffre, 62, a Republican, was first elected in 2021, and re-elected in 2023 and 2025. He is running again following changes to the county’s legislative district lines. Giuffre and his wife have lived in Stewart Manor since 1991. Nassau County, he said, has changed during his time in the area, with a growing population and increasing traffic, but he remains focused on maintaining the quality of life that draws families here. As a legislator, Giuffre said his priorities have remained consistent: public safety, responsible budgeting and infrastructure, including roads, traffic signals and pedestrian safety. He highlighted the installation of a traffic light at Lindberg Avenue and Woodfield Road, in West Hempstead, after a 12-year-old boy, Tomas Molina, was killed crossing the street. The intersection, Giuffre said, did not initially did not meet the requirements for a traffic signal, but he worked with the county executive’s office to move the project forward. Traffic safety, he said continues to be an issue that residents bring to his office. When they report dangerous intersections or other roadway concerns, his staff contacts the county Department of Public Works to determine whether the location is being studied or scheduled for improvements. Giuffre said the county should continue investing in new infrastructure, and that long-term planning is necessary for projects involving roads, sewer lines and other infrastructure. He also pointed to economic development as an important source of county revenue, particularly through sales taxes. Giuffre cited the ongoing improvements to Westbury Avenue, in Carle Place, as an example of a project intended to improve infrastructure while supporting local businesses. It includes new pavement, sidewalks, curb cuts and drainage improvements. He and then North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jen DeSanto pledged to address the road during their 2023 campaigns. On affordability, Giuffre said that keeping taxes from increasing is one way the county can reduce pressure on residents. He holds tax workshops in his district, at which residents can get help with programs such as STAR and veterans’ exemptions. Giuffre has also used county funding for local projects, including equipment for fire departments and emergency medical services. He cited a compressor for the Garden City Fire Department, a power stretcher for Stewart Manor and a rescue truck as examples of investments he considers public safety priorities. Those investments, he said, are possible when the county maintains a surplus and can direct money toward community needs. Giuffre has worked with the Franklin Square Historical Society and other local organizations, and sought funding for improvements at community facilities and libraries. He said the county's financial position allows officials to make those investments while planning for future expenses. Giuffre is an attorney who handles personal injury and medical malpractice cases, and has spent much of his career examining the consequences of vehicle crashes and other injuries. His legal career, he said, has influenced his approach to transportation and public safety. Looking ahead, he said he wants to continue addressing the everyday concerns residents bring to his office, from traffic lights and road conditions to tax questions and public safety. “I think the biggest issue that I encounter are issues involving quality of life,” he said.
