New York State Assembly · District 4
Long Island families are paying for Albany's mistakes
Will Sussman is running for State Assembly to bring down the cost of living, restore public safety, and hold Albany accountable for every dollar it takes out of your paycheck.
Meet Will
A lifelong Long Islander who fixes what's broken
Will Sussman is an engineer and an educator who grew up on Long Island and never left.
He earned degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from Yale and MIT, and today he teaches as an adjunct professor at Yeshiva University.
Will started out as a unionized worker, where he saw how badly systems can fail the people they are built to serve. Instead of accepting it, he took action, filing federal complaints with the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
He later joined the Manhattan Institute, digging into the issues that hit New Yorkers hardest: education, labor, and government accountability. He has become a leading voice against antisemitism and has testified before Congress on it. His writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, The Free Press, and Newsday.
On the Issues
What Will is running on
Affordability
The top priority
Long Island families are being crushed by rising costs, high taxes, and Albany spending with no accountability. For too long, Albany has bailed out New York City on Long Island's dime while our homeowners get priced out and our communities get nothing in return.
Will Sussman will fight to end the blank checks to New York City unless they come tied to real tax relief for Long Islanders, reduce the tax burden, rein in wasteful government spending, and protect homeowners from being priced out of the neighborhoods they built.
Public Safety
Every family deserves to feel safe at home, at school, and on their own block. Albany's reckless cashless bail law put dangerous criminals back on the street, tied judges' hands, and made shoplifting so routine that everyday items sit locked behind glass. Will will fight to repeal cashless bail, hire more police officers, and make sure repeat and violent offenders are removed from our communities.
Open Space
Long Island has to grow responsibly, protecting our coastline, investing in clean water infrastructure, and backing development that keeps our suburban character intact. That is why Will supports transferring the Setauket to Port Jefferson Station Greenway to Suffolk County Parks, where it belongs, instead of handing it to the state DOT. His opponent wrote the bill to do exactly that.
Transparency
New Yorkers deserve a government that is honest, open, and accountable to the people it serves. Will supports rigorous oversight of state programs to restore public trust and make sure taxpayer money is spent responsibly. Every dollar lost to mismanagement or fraud is a dollar that never reaches the communities that need it.
Albany stopped listening to Long Island. Will hasn't.
