Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my campaign website! It has been my privilege to represent the 15th State Senate District since I began serving in 2009. With your ongoing support, I will continue to be an independent voice in Albany to stand up for our community.
As your state senator, I have worked hard to address the unemployment crisis in our community by hosting a job fair where over 100 employers met with thousands of local residents looking for work. I sponsored legislation to provide tax exemptions for Cold War Veterans and sweeping ethics reform to clean up Albany. I also led the fight to force large corporations to publicly disclose when they spend money to influence elections. I will continue to fight for my constituents and be their voice in Albany.

All the best,

For too long, neighborhoods outside of our Manhattan-obsessed city have remained neglected. Councilman Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. recognizes the need for quality transportation and schools that serve families in Queens. We believe his experience and prioritizing of issues that affect the borough’s older and emerging communities make him the right choice for representing District 15 in the New York State Senate.

State Senate District 15 in Queens: Serphin Maltese, the incumbent Republican, is a well-established Albany hand who has routed plenty of money to his mostly Democratic district. After 20 years, however, it is time for someone like Joseph Addabbo to try his hand. Mr. Addabbo, a member of City Council, has said that if Democrats take over, they will not force the same Draconian rules on Republicans that now exist to punish Democrats. That is a good start. We endorse Mr. Addabbo.

New York State's political landscape could dramatically change this fall - and Queens Councilman Joseph Addabbo could be the man who does it.
Democrat Addabbo's anticipated challenge to Queens Republican Sen. Serphin Maltese is seen by his party's leaders as the linchpin race in the quest to seize complete control of Albany for the first time since the 1960s.
"There is no race more important than this one," Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-St. Albans) crowed at a recent Addabbo fund-raiser. "We should all eat, sleep and dream Joe Addabbo Jr.!"
