About Joe Addabbo
State Senator Joe Addabbo has represented Queens communities since 2008, after previously serving seven years in the New York City Council. A lifelong resident of Queens, Joe has always put his constituents and the communities they live in first. Like his constituents, Joe attended local schools and he is a dedicated family man who enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.
In the Senate, Joe is working hard to end the ongoing public safety crisis in New York City by getting illegal guns off the street and passing anti-hate crime laws while demanding that city services like the sanitation department keep our streets clean.
Joe is also working hard to ensure the middle class can afford to raise a family here. Joe passed rent laws to protect tenants and small landlords, he secured a higher minimum wage, and he’s invested millions to improve our schools. From new immigrants bringing energy and entrepreneurial spirit to our communities to Queens families who have lived here for generations, Joe is proud to stand up for his constituents and make a difference in their lives.
