Dan DeBono for Congress

The Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Republican committees have selected Dan DeBono, a Huntington Republican committeeman and former U.S. Navy SEAL, to challenge first-term Rep. Thomas Suozzi in November.

DeBono, of Northport, has spent the past two decades on Wall Street, as a trader and investment banker.

“I will bring to Washington a unique perspective on how the federal government can implement common sense policies that will grow the middle-class economy, modernize our infrastructure, and strengthen our military without bankrupting future generations,” DeBono said.

DeBono said he backs increased deregulation, improving funding for the Long Island Rail Road and reducing taxes for small businesses.
