Our next Suffolk County Comptroller!

My name is Jon Estreich and I'm running to be the next Suffolk County Comptroller.

Suffolk County residents deserve an independent watchdog who will end pay-to-play in county contracts, eliminate no-show jobs, and create transparency in county spending. I will be a check on the Republican administration in county governance.

I'm a Long Island native raising my family in Dix Hills, a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, and a former Suffolk County prosecutor. I am not promising to become a watchdog. I already am one.

Join the campaign at JonforSuffolk.com and together, we can bring accountability, integrity, and common-sense oversight to county government.

The Suffolk Dems are PROUD and EXCITED to introduce our candidates for Suffolk County Comptroller, Jon Estreich and Suffolk County Clerk, Anthony Portesy!🙌

“I’m incredibly proud to support Jon Estreich and Anthony Portesy, along with the entire Suffolk County Democratic Committee’s slate of candidates,” said Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chairman Rich Schaffer. “They’re not running to talk about change - they’re running to deliver it. Jon will bring real financial discipline and oversight to county government, and Anthony will modernize how our government serves people. That’s a powerful combination, and I’m confident it’s going to be the difference in this race.” - Chairman Rich Schaffer

Estreich is a Long Island native, a Dix Hills dad, and husband. He has been a lawyer for more than 20 years and has the privilege of serving as a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve. He previously served as a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney and an Investigative Attorney at the MTA Inspector General. As a Soldier on active duty in Korea, he investigated the misuse of government funds by a senior leader.

Portesy began his career at King Kullen as a proud member of UFCW Local 1500, where he was elected by his peers to represent them and help negotiate their union contract. That experience shaped his path forward – he went on to New York Law School and built a career as an employment attorney, advocating for working families and small business owners.

Together, Estreich and Portesy are presenting a forward-looking vision for Suffolk County government, grounded in experience, transparency, and results.

Southold Town Democratic Party chair Kathryn Casey Quigley told The Point that the criticism "makes me sad. It's just so icky."

It has come to our attention that the opposition, having struck first with general objections, has targeted our committee member petitions. This indiscriminately includes long-standing, respected members of the Suffolk County Democratic Committee and sitting elected officials.

Even more concerning, according to our attorneys, “fraud may have been committed in this process.”

Let’s be clear: this exposes their entire narrative for what it is, a complete farce. This was never about reform or principle. It is, and always has been, about personal ambition, ego, and a reckless disregard for the integrity of this process. Their intention was never to “unite” the party, it was to sow division for political gain.

Team Schaffer will not tolerate this.

Letters of Preservation have been issued to the individual responsible, as well as to any others involved in filing these potentially fraudulent challenges.

We will defend our members, uphold the law, and continue to fight for Democratic values.

In the days ahead, our opponent may attempt to distort the facts and shift the narrative. The facts are exactly as we have stated them here and we stand firmly behind our members.
