| Info | Mr. Halpin began his career in 1979 when he was elected, at the age of 26, to represent the 13th District of the Suffolk County Legislature. In a special election held in 1982, he won the New York State Assembly seat for the 11th District, becoming the first Democrat in 116 years to be elected to the Assembly from that area. During his three terms in office, he chaired the Standing Committee on Ethics and the Long Island Marine Resources subcommittee.
From 1988-1992, Mr. Halpin served as the Suffolk County Executive. Responsible for an annual budget of more than $1.4 billion and for over 12,000 employees, Mr. Halpin demonstrated his ability to manage the political complexities of government while tending to the needs of the 1.3 million residents of Suffolk, the 15th largest county in the United States. He instituted the highly successful drug education program, DARE; a comprehensive anti-domestic violence program; a nationally recognized open space and environmental program, and an extensive homeless housing initiative. Elected at the age of 34, Mr. Halpin was the youngest Suffolk County Executive in its history.
A graduate of Old Dominion University where he majored in political science and economics and received a B.A., Mr. Halpin joined ISA in 1994.
