Philip M. "Phil" Boyle (born July 21, 1961)is a member of the New York State Senate, representing the 4th District. He previously served in the New York State Assembly representing the 8th Assembly district, which includes West Babylon, Babylon, West Islip, Bayshore, Islip, East Islip, and Great River. A life-long resident of the district, Boyle was born in Southside Hospital in Bayshore, NY and grew up in East Islip, NY. He and his wife, Victoria Ryan, reside in Bay Shore with their toy fox terrier, Livvy. Boyle is the proud stepfather to Patrick and Sarah Ryan.

Phil Boyle was a founding partner in the law firm of Steinberg & Boyle, LLP, and he is now an attorney with the leading tax certiorari law firm of Cronin, Cronin, Harris and O'Brien, P.C., headquartered in Uniondale, New York.

Actively involved in his community, Senator Boyle serves as a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Sierra Club, as well as an active volunteer firefighter and former Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with the Great River Fire Department.

Education

Boyle attended SUNY at Geneseo and then completed his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a Political Science degree in 1983. He received a Master of Public Administration degree from theRockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at SUNY at Albany and a law degree from Albany Law School, both in 1987.

Early Career

After graduate school, Senator served several years on Capitol Hill as a senior congressional aide. He served four years as Legislative Director to the late Congressman Frank Horton (R-Rochester), then later as campaign manager and Chief of Staff to former Congressman Rick Lazio (R-Brightwaters).

After serving on the staff of former U.S. Representative Rick Lazio, Boyle was first elected to the state Assembly in 1994, and did not seek reelection in 2002, honoring a term-limits pledge. He returned to the state Assembly after winning a special election on February 28, 2006.

New York State Senate

Subsequent to his time working in Washington, Phil was elected to the New York State Assembly in a Special Election in 1994. He represented the 8th Assembly District, which encompassed portions of the Suffolk County Towns of Islip and Babylon. During his tenure in the New York State Assembly, Phil was considered one of the most fiscally conservative members of that body while also consistently maintaining one of the Assembly's highest pro-environment voting records.

Phil was elected to the New York State Senate in November of 2012. He currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee, Chairman of the Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as well as a member of the Senate Standing Committees on Housing, Construction and Community Development; Commerce, Economic Development, and Small Business; Codes; Local Government; Racing, Gaming and Wagering; and Consumer Protection.

-Boyle is considered a fiscally conservative member of the New York State Legislature, voting and advocating for reduced government spending in Albany. His primary focus has been to lower the tax burden on all New Yorkers, particularly focusing on lowering school property taxes. As a member of the Assembly Committee on Codes, Boyle also led in efforts to enhance New York State’s use of forensic technology such as DNA to both convict the guilty and exonerate the innocent.<ref name="Official bio"/> He is also among the highest rated members of the legislature on environmental issues, consistently receiving high score and endorsements from conservancy groups such as the League of Conservation Voters, The Sierra Club and the EBL.<ref>http://votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/4281/philip-boyle#.UIWZzrRuGlI</ref>

-* Successfully fighting to eliminate the onerous MTA tax on local employers.

-* Controlling local property taxes voting for the 2% cap on school district spending.
-* Sponsor of the “New York State Property Taxpayers Protection Act” to limit the property tax burden on homeowners and businesses.
-* Sponsored legislation to lower the state’s sales tax on gasoline.
-* Voted to exempt clothing and shoes from state sales taxes.
+===New York State Senate===
-'''State Spending & Fiscal Accountability'''
+Subsequent  to  his  time  working in Washington, Phil was elected to the New York State Assembly in a Special  Election  in 1994.  He represented the 8th Assembly District, which encompassed portions of the Suffolk County Towns of Islip and Babylon.  During his tenure in the New York State Assembly, Phil was considered one of the most fiscally conservative members of that body while also consistently maintaining one of the Assembly's highest pro-environment voting records.
+Phil was elected to the New York State Senate in November of 2012.  He currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee, Chairman of the Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as well as a member of the Senate Standing Committees on Housing, Construction and Community Development; Commerce, Economic Development, and Small Business; Codes; Local Government; Racing, Gaming and Wagering; and Consumer Protection.
-As an identified fiscal conservative, Boyle has consistently voted against wasteful state spending. His record includes:
+==Task Force on Heroin and Opiate Addiction==
-* Sponsoring legislation to impose a spending cap, limiting how much the state can spend, and to increase the size of the state’s “rainy day fund” to avoid future tax increases.
-* Advocating that the State pass on-time and balanced state budgets.
-* Supporting Governor Cuomo’s plan to consolidate state agencies and save taxpayer’s millions.
-* Supporting welfare reform including work requirements.
-'''Environment'''
-Boyle has consistently proclaimed his personal commitment to the protection of Long Island’s natural resources.  His statement acknowledging a recent  high ranking by the environmental group ABL Boyle said, “Protecting the environment and working to defend New York’s natural resources is paramount to ensuring the good health, well-being and prosperity of all who live on Long Island.”  His environmental legislative record  includes:
-* Sponsoring legislation to encourage the development of solar power as an alternative energy source.
-* Voting for legislation to safeguard precious freshwater wetlands which protect Long Island’s drinking water.
-* Voting for legislation to require the state to purchase environmentally “green” products.
-'''Gun Control'''
-* Voted in favor of the Cuomo Administration's [[NY SAFE Act|New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013]] which has been criticized by [[Second Amendment to the United States Constitution|Second Amendment]] activists as "restricted the rights of law-abiding New York residents." Senator Boyle has since cosponsored legislation (S.3948) which, if passed, would repeal the SAFE ACT.  Citing the rush under which that law was passed, lack of public comment in the process and problematic and possibly illegal language in the original bill, Senator Boyle stated that its passage was a mistake and "a good leader admits to a mistake and works to rectify it." <ref>http://www.nysenate.gov/news/senator-boyle-cosponsors-repeal-controversial-gun-law-offers-amendments-0</ref>
-==2012 New York State Senate race==
-After 40 years service in the New York State Senate from the 4th Senatorial District, Owen Johnson announced his retirement on July 16, 2012.<ref>http://www.nysenate.gov/press-release/it-has-been-honor-represent-you-albany</ref> Boyle received the Republican, Conservative and Independence Party nominations to run for the open seat and launched his campaign in early August 2012. He received Senator Johnson's endorsement shortly thereafter.<ref>http://www.boyleforsenate.com/newsroom/senator-johnson-endorses-phil/</ref> On November 6, 2012, Boyle was elected to the Senate with 53% of the vote.
-In addition to the endorsement of the popular sitting Senator, Boyle's bid for the open seat received numerous endorsements from a broad range of organizations, individuals and unions including:<ref>http://www.boyleforsenate.com/endorsements/</ref>{{fact|date=July 2013}}
