(Long Island, NY) On Saturday, Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R,C,WF,I-Huntington Station) was joined by Assemblymen Joseph S. Saladino, Andrew Raia (R,I,C-East Northport), Tom McKevitt (R,C,I-East Meadow), Sens. Carl Marcellino and John Flanagan, along with local officials, friends and family to honor the late Assemblyman James D. Conte.

“For 24 years, Jim served as a leader in state government, and he left a lasting legacy in Huntington and beyond,” said Lupinacci. “He was not simply a boss; he was truly a friend and mentor who inspired me to go into public service. Dedicating this section of New York Avenue will provide a lasting memory and recognition for all that Assemblyman Conte did for the community and all he loved about Huntington. It was remarkable to see the number of people who were touched by Jim and the legacy he left.”
The portion of New York State Route 110 to bear his name is an ideal location, as it is at the heart of the 10th Assembly District, and is where Conte’s district office was located.
