John Zaccaro Jr.
Assemblyman for the 80th District
John Zaccaro Jr. represents the 80th Assembly District, where he lives and is raising his family. He brings to public service a straightforward approach shaped by his own experience growing up in the Bronx and by what he hears every day from residents across the district.
a lifelong bronx resident, focused on serving the community he calls home.
This work starts with lived experience.
John was raised in the Bronx by a single mother and experienced housing insecurity growing up. He knows what it feels like when systems move slowly, when families are left waiting for answers, and when getting help is harder than it should be.
Those experiences shaped how he sees government and what he expects from it.
To John, public service is not about politics or performance. It is about making sure people can reach their representative, get real answers, and see progress on the issues that affect their daily lives.
That perspective guides how he shows up in this role — with respect, persistence, and a focus on solutions.
ROOTED IN THE BRONX
Focused on getting things done.
In Albany, John works to cut through delays, bring funding back to the district, and hold agencies accountable when projects stall.
He believes leadership means staying on issues until they are resolved — not passing them along or letting them get lost in bureaucracy.
That approach has helped deliver real investments across the district, from schools and parks to housing stability and senior services. It has also shaped the way his office operates: accessible, responsive, and focused on follow-through.
For John, good government is not complicated.
It is consistent, respectful, and reliable.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
Turning resources into real improvements.
In just three years, John has helped secure millions of dollars for the 80th District and supported legislation that strengthens communities across New York State.
His work includes:
Funding for schools, after-school programs, and CUNY
Investments in parks, community spaces, and local corridors
Support for housing stability and Mitchell-Lama developments
Upgrades and expanded services for senior centers
Community-based safety and mental health resources
These investments are not about headlines.
They are about making everyday life a little easier and neighborhoods a little stronger.
RESULTS THAT MATTER
ACCESSIBILITY & SERVICE
A representative you can reach.
John believes people should feel comfortable calling their Assembly office when something is not working.
His district team helps residents navigate city and state agencies, stay on cases when problems take time to resolve, and connect people with the services they need.
Whether it is housing, benefits, school concerns, or neighborhood quality-of-life issues, the goal is simple: make sure residents are not left trying to figure things out alone.
Public service should feel supportive, not frustrating.
This is not just where he works. It is where he lives.
John lives in the district and is raising his family here. He is part of the community he serves, not passing through it.
That connection keeps him grounded in what matters most: safe neighborhoods, strong schools, stable housing, and services people can count on.
It also fuels his commitment to keep building on the progress already underway — and to keep listening to residents as the district continues to grow and change.
