| Info | James P. Molinaro is Staten Island's 14th Borough President, and the first registered Conservative to hold borough-wide office in New York City.
Molinaro was elected Borough President on November 6, 2001 and assumed office January 1st, 2002, succeeding three-term Borough President Guy V. Molinari. Molinaro serves a 4-year term through December 2005.
Prior to becoming Borough President, Mr. Molinaro served for twelve years as Deputy Borough President to Borough President Guy V. Molinari (1990-2001). Mr. Molinaro also served as Chief of Staff to Congressman Guy V. Molinari representing New York's 14th Congressional District.
Mr. Molinaro's political career began when he joined a growing consensus of New Yorkers concerned by the liberal nature of the state government. He joined the New York State Conservative Party in 1964. Mr. Molinaro rose quickly within the ranks of the state's Conservative Party, winning election in 1974 as Chairman of Richmond County, and subsequently as Vice Chair of the state party. In 1989, he was elected Executive Vice Chair of the New York State Conservative Party, a post which he still holds.
Molinaro is a longtime resident of the Fort Wadsworth section of Staten Island, where he and his wife raised their two sons.
The son of Italian immigrants, Molinaro was born on March 11, 1931 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he grew up with brother Vito and sisters Jean and Ann. Prior to public service, Jim operated a successful small business in recycling.
