Yesterday, on December 17, we gathered at William Floyd High School to honor the birthday of William Floyd and officially recognize William Floyd Day in Suffolk County.

As someone who was born and raised right here, a proud graduate of William Floyd High School, and someone who still calls this community home, it is truly meaningful to honor Suffolk County’s only signer of the Declaration of Independence.

William Floyd was born in Mastic on December 17, 1734. He was a lifelong resident of Suffolk County who went on to serve as a militia leader, a delegate to the Continental Congress, and a Founding Father of our nation. His home, the Old Mastic House, still stands today as a reminder that American history was made right here in our own backyard.

Through Resolution 776-2025, which I was proud to sponsor, December 17 will now be recognized each year as William Floyd Day in Suffolk County—ensuring that his legacy is remembered and taught, especially as we approach the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

William Floyd Day is about more than honoring the past. It’s about strengthening local pride and reminding our children that history didn’t just happen somewhere else—it happened here, through people who walked the same roads and lived in the same communities we do today.

Thank you to the Tri-Hamlet 250 Committee, students, educators, and community leaders who joined us to make today so special.

HAUPPAUGE, NY – Suffolk County Legislator Chad Lennon and Legislator Dominick Thorne hosted students from Longwood High School for a hands-on introduction to the workings of the legislative process.

The students participated in a mock legislative session, taking seats at the “horseshoe” and acting in the roles of the Presiding Officer, legislators, and interested citizens to question, debate, and ultimately take a roll call vote on model legislation pertaining to public safety.

Legislator Thorne, a former businessman and an EMT, and Lennon, an attorney and USMC veteran and reservist, spoke to the students about their own, different paths to elected office, the students’ potential interest in public service, and outlined the responsibilities and activities of county lawmakers.

“It was an honor to welcome students from my district to the Suffolk County Legislature. It is inspiring to see students become involved when given an opportunity to participate firsthand in the legislative process,” said Thorne. “I am grateful for the school administrators and teachers for helping to facilitate today’s event.”

“It was great to see these students engage in a caucus, and to debate issues which we in the legislature confronted as well, said Lennon. “I’m always happy to focus on the good we in government can do for our fellow citizens and to encourage the next generations to speak up on matters of concern to them. It was a pleasure to watch them engage with such eagerness and insight.”

The participants caucused, debated, and conducted votes on specific issues of relevance to students, educators, and families, such as cannabis packaging regulation, dangerous street takeovers, and public safety.
