| Info | Robert P. Reilly was elected to the New York State Assembly after years of community involvement. He represents the 109th Assembly District which includes the towns of Colonie, Clifton Park and Halfmoon in the Capital District. Many of his constituents refer to him as a "citizen legislator" because of his devotion to public service and accessibility to his community.
A selfless politician, Assemblyman Reilly ran for office making three unique promises: to be independent of any organization or political party; to donate his entire Assembly salary to charity; and to visit each neighborhood in the district twice a year.
Bob ran for Assembly because he believes that state government has become dysfunctional and needs reform and direction. As a former teacher, he is also extremely concerned that our children are getting short-changed by the existing school aid formula. He has taught elementary, secondary and post secondary levels in both public and private institutions and even taught a stint in East Africa. He also served as director of the New York State Public Broadcasting Office for the State Education Department.
Bob has proven he can get things done in a strong, cohesive and bipartisan way. As a County Legislator, Bob was the major force behind enacting a compromise for a new County Charter; he initiated and chaired the OTB Committee which eventually led to needed OTB reform; his legislation helped create the Albany County Airport Authority; he established a series of reforms for the Albany County IDA; and he became the leading conservationist in the Albany County Legislature, creating a number of successful programs to help preserve our environment.
An active and involved member of the community, Bob Reilly has served as: former president, Shaker Heritage Society; member, National Erie Canal Commission; member, Mohawk Valley Heritage Corridor Commission; member, Albany County Alternatives to Incarceration; member, Region 4 Fish and Wildlife Management Board.
As small businessman, he is chairman and CEO of Technafuture Enterprises Inc. and 30-year owner of the Partridge Pub.
Bob Reilly was born November 30, 1939. In 1961, he received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame, his Master’s from the College of Saint Rose and completed all coursework for a Ph.D. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Bob is married to Mary L. Reilly and they reside in Latham. He shared his love of running as a cross country track coach at Siena College for 17 years and is a member of the college’s Hall of Fame.
