Anthony P. D'Esposito (born February 22, 1982)^[1] is an American politician and retired detective from New York. A member of the Republican Party, he has represented New York's 4th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since 2023.^[2] His victory in the 2022 midterm election was considered a major upset, contributing to the narrow Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

D'Esposito was previously a councilman on the Hempstead, New York, town council.^[3]

U.S. House of Representatives

2022 campaign

D'Esposito ran against former Hempstead town supervisor Laura Gillen in the 2022 general election. Gillen emphasized the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, gun control, and strengthening democracy in her campaign, while D'Esposito framed the race as a referendum on public safety and cost-of-living issues.^[4]

D'Esposito won the general election by a 51.8–48.2 percent margin.^[5] Some analysts attributed D'Esposito's unlikely victory to gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin's political coattails.^[6]^[7]

Tenure

In January 2023, D'Esposito became the first sitting Republican representative to call for colleague George Santos's resignation in the wake of revelations about Santos's false biographical statements.^[8] D'Esposito's office has reportedly aided with services for a number of Santos's neighboring 3rd district constituents, who cannot reach or refuse to work with the scandal-plagued congressman's office.^[9]

D'Esposito supported Kevin McCarthy in the 2023 Speaker of the House election.^[10]

Personal life

D'Esposito is of Italian^[11] and Puerto Rican ancestry.^[12]^[13]
