| Info | Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on September 19, 1927, John Esposito attended St. Saviour Elementary School and St. Augustine Diocesan High School in Brooklyn, and then Manhattan College, Fordham University, and Brooklyn Law School. In 1950 he was admitted to the Bar.
He served in a number of capacities in local government and politics. He was Assistant District Attorney in Queens County, Executive Secretary in the Public Service Commission, Law Secretary to the Court of Claims, and
then Assistant Welfare Inspector General.
In 1971 he was elected to the New York State Assembly representing Queens Village on the Republican and Conservative lines. He was tireless
in his efforts on behalf of Queens Village. His committee assignments
included Cities, Governmental Operations, Judiciary and Select Committee on Consumer Protection.
He and his wife (the former Augusta Boos) had three children, Ann, Patricia,
and Thomas--all active in St. Joachim and Anne Parish. He was President of the Home School Association, to which he devoted much time and effort. In
the interim he was active in the pro-life movement and in the effort to curb
extreme programs of sex education in the city�s high schools.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, he was discharged in February 1947. A
principal interest was his concerns with American foreign policy.
His only venture in city politics was his campaign for the mayoralty of New
York City against Edward Koch, on the Republican and Conservative lines.
Esposito sought to run a squeeky-clean campaign: he accepted no campaign
contributions over $25. His defeat marked his return to local politics. But
changing social and other patterns in the city, brought his return to private
life and to the practice of law. He continued to raise his voice on behalf of honest and efficient local government.
