Assemblyman Saladino brings 16 years of government experience to the Assembly. Most recently, he was the Director of Operations for the Town of Oyster Bay and formerly served as Executive Assistant for the Town of Hempstead.
Previously he had a career in broadcast journalism, working as a news anchor and broadcaster for some of Long Island’s largest television and radio stations, including WNYG, WALK, WLIW and NEWS 12.
He also worked with an engineering firm where he learned many aspects of civil construction and environmental engineering. He brings to the Legislature a desire to create green technologies and to protect the environment during the construction of major projects.
Assemblyman Saladino is a lifelong resident of Massapequa, where he has been very active in the community.
He has been a member of the Massapequa Kiwanis Club for 16 years, where he has served as President and has received the distinguished award of “Kiwanian of the Year.” He is also a member of the Sons of Italy-Columbus Lodge, a former trustee of the Massapequa Historical Society, and co-founder of the Massapequa Anti-Graffiti Involvement Committee.
He has also volunteered to help area veterans through Massapequa Cares and has raised funds for the American Heart Association, the United Way, Long Island Blood Services, and the Guide Dog Foundation, among other organizations.
Mr. Saladino has invested much of his time supporting the youth in his community. He is a member of the Town of Oyster Bay Youth Board, a youth ice hockey coach for the Town of Oyster Bay Hockey Clinic, and a sponsor executive for Boy Scout Troop #5 and Cub Scout Pack #5.
Assemblyman Saladino is an outdoorsman and mountain climber. He has climbed some of the world’s most famous mountains, carrying the Kiwanis International Flag to raise funds and bring attention to the many Kiwanis environmental and youth programs. He has carried the flag to the top of Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the United States outside of Alaska, as well as Mont Blanc in the French Alps, the highest mountain in western Europe. In Italy, he also climbed Mt. Etna and Stromboli, the world’s most active volcano, with the Kiwanis Flag. Closer to home, he summited Mount Marcy, the Empire State’s highest peak, in the summer of 2003 with an American flag to raise funds for the Kiwanis 9/11 Foundation.
Also a nature enthusiast, Assemblyman Saladino is a lifelong bayman, plying the waters of the Great South Bay on the southern border of the 12th Assembly District. He has spent his life clamming, fishing and studying our marine resources and now brings this background to the Assembly where he will seek innovative ways to protect our marine resources and wetlands.
For several years, Assemblyman Saladino has presented lectures to youth and community groups, concerning conservation, catch and release fishing techniques, the proper disposal of pollutants, and protecting and conserving our potable ground water supply.
He has been instrumental in providing video programs, radio talk shows and newspaper articles about Long Island’s aquifer and has taken a lead role in protecting it.
As a member of Kiwanis, Assemblyman Saladino has organized clean-ups of the Massapequa Preserve and woodland areas and marshes, teaching children the importance of conservation and environmental protection.
Assemblyman Saladino studied at Tulane University and holds Undergraduate and Masters Degrees from the New York Institute of Technology.
In the Assembly, he will make passage of legislation to allow civil commitment of the most dangerous sex offenders a priority and will fight to keep taxes down, preserve the environment, protect children’s safety and improve the quality of education.
