De Vito Receives Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund Endorsement

John Mitty Friday, June 24, 2016

Bellport, NY - June 24, 2016 - The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, one of the preeminent organizations helping to elect qualified LGBT+ candidates to state and national offices, has endorsed John De Vito in his run for the New York State Senate’s 3rd District.

This comes in the wake of De Vito’s continuing advocacy for removal of the FDA ban on blood donations from sexually active gay men, and his successful petitioning drive to earn a spot on the ballot.

Once elected, De Vito will be the first openly gay Senator from Long Island and the youngest State Senator in New York’s history. De Vito seeks to defeat freshman Senator Tom Croci in a race that will feature taking on corruption and promoting economic fairness as key issues.

New York’s Third Senate District is located wholly in Suffolk County and includes the communities of Hauppauge, Central Islip, Brentwood, East Islip, Bayport, Blue Point, Patchogue, Bellport, Ronkonkoma, Medford, Shirley and Mastic Beach.
