Life and career

Fitzpatrick was born in Jamaica, Queens and raised in Hauppauge, Long Island. He is a graduate of Hauppauge High School and received his B.A. in business administration from Saint Michael's College in Vermont.[1]

He served on the Smithtown Town Council for 15 years, from 1988 to 2003. He was first elected to the New York State Assembly in November 2002.[1] Fitzpatrick is also an investment associate with UBS in Port Jefferson, New York.[1]

Fitzpatrick is married to the former Lorena Herrera of Chihuahua, Mexico; the couple has two children, Corina and Michael. They reside in St. James, New York.[1]

New York Assembly

In 2002, Fitzpatrick was elected to the New York Assembly to replace Assemblyman Thomas Barraga, who retired. He has been re-elected every two years since, never winning with under 60% of the vote.

A conservative, Fitzpatrick has been described as the poster child for the "no" vote culture in today's legislatures.
