Lee Zeldin was born and raised on Long Island. He grew up in Suffolk County and graduated from William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, where his identical twin daughters attend school today. Lee spent four years on Active Duty with the U.S. Army after completing ROTC and served in different capacities, including as a Military Intelligence Officer, Prosecutor, and Military Magistrate. In the summer of 2006, while assigned to the Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division, Lee deployed to Iraq with an infantry battalion of fellow paratroopers in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Lee was then elected to the United States Congress in 2014, representing New York’s First Congressional District, and has now won seven consecutive races since 2010 in purple NYC suburban districts, unseating two Democrat incumbents along the way. In Congress, Lee quickly became a leading voice in America on top local, domestic and foreign policy issues.

As the father of two school aged girls, Congressman Zeldin understands how important it is to give all students access to quality schools, encourage more parental involvement in education, don’t force our kids to wear masks all day long, end all indoctrination and brainwashing, lift the cap on charter schools, protect and expand advanced and specialized education, expand and improve technical job training, improve school safety, support home-schooled children, promote more civics in the classroom to educate kids more about their great nation, teach students about the Holocaust, achieve unfunded mandate relief and so much more.
