Republicans have chosen retired New York City Police detective Mike Sapraicone to challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the race for her Senate seat in November.
Sapraicone, who lives in Seaford, served 20 years in the NYPD, starting out as a transit officer and eventually being promoted to detective. After retiring from the NYPD, Sapraicone founded Squad Security, a private corporate security firm. The company employs up to 600 current and former law enforcement officials.
