Assemblywoman Rebecca Kassay

Rebecca Kassay serves as the Assemblywoman for New York's 4th district in Suffolk County. Born and raised in St. James, she attended SUNY New Paltz and graduated with a degree in Environmental Studies and Communications before returning to Long Island to create and direct a youth environmental volunteer program at Avalon Nature Preserve in Stony Brook. For seven years, she worked alongside hundreds of local teenagers, environmental professionals, and NGO representatives to tackle a wide range of environmental stewardship efforts across Long Island. These hands-on experiences with the region's environmental issues, assets, and advocates drive Rebecca's desire to preserve the natural heritage of this incredible island.
