Candidate for NYS Senate - 2nd Senate District
Born in Huntington, NY, and raised in Northport, NY, Craig has a longheld passion for public service and the pursuit of justice. After attending American University, Craig interned for Senator Edward M. Kennedy in Washington, D.C., and Congressman Steve Israel in Hauppauge, NY, learning to write and move legislation as well as the importance of constituent services.
As an attorney, Craig worked at the F.B.I. and the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division, where he actively participated in various high-profile cases involving terrorists, drug traffickers, and money launderers. Those successful prosecutions further solidified his commitment to serving the public and ensuring the fair application of justice.
In 2019, Craig was appointed Assistant Counsel to the Governor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he waived copayments for testing and vaccinations, implemented telehealth, and provided tax relief for small businesses and families. Craig assisted in establishing the restaurant return-to-work tax credit program to help restaurants re-open.
Craig also served as an NYC administrative law judge, presiding over hearings and ensuring the principles of justice are upheld. Inspired by his career of public service to the people of New York, Craig is now setting his sights on serving his home district of SD-2 in Albany by joining the New York State Senate.
Craig would bring to Albany a deep understanding of the issues facing our community, a passion for making a difference, and an absolute commitment to serve his fellow Long Islanders with honor and integrity. He's ready to flip SD-2 blue and deliver results for Long Islanders.
