Nassau Residents for Good Government rallied Wednesday in front of U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito’s (R-Island Park) Garden City office, where he allegedly broke House ethics rules.
The New York Times revealed D’Esposito hired a woman he was having an affair with, along with his fiancée’s daughter. The article said shortly after D’Esposito took the oath of office in 2022, he hired his fiancée’s daughter as a special assistant in his Garden City district office, for which she was paid $3,800 a month. Protestors outside the office called for D’Esposito to repay the $29,000 in taxpayer funds that he used to pay for both employees. They also demanded for an “expedited investigation” into this potential ethics violation.
