| Info | Joseph N. Mondello has served for twenty-two years as Chairman of the Nassau County Republican Committee, which has long been acknowledged as one of the premier Republican county committees in the United States. He is also the Republican National Committeeman for the State of New York.
Chairman Mondello has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in government and politics.
From 1979 to 1987, Chairman Mondello served as a Councilman of the Town of Hempstead, New York. In January 1987, Mr. Mondello was appointed Hempstead Presiding Supervisor, and was successfully returned to office by wide margins in 1987, 1989, and 1991. In this capacity Mr. Mondello served as the chief executive officer of the nation’s largest township and, as Vice Chairman of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors, he served as majority leader of Nassau County’s legislative body.
Known as a strict fiscal conservative, one of Mr. Mondello’s proudest achievements in office was his ability to steer Hempstead Town through the recession of the late 1980s and early 1990s by cutting costs, reducing the size of the town workforce, and holding the line on taxes without resorting to reductions in public services.
In April 1993, Mr. Mondello left the office of Presiding Supervisor to assume the reins of Nassau Downs as its Chairman of the Board and President. He retired from that position in December 1997. In November 1994, Mr. Mondello was named Chairman of New York State Governor George Pataki’s transition team. In this position, Chairman Mondello was responsible for overseeing the first transition to a Republican administration in New York State in nearly three decades.
A dean’s list student at Hofstra College, Mondello earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1962. After graduating, Mondello worked as a teacher in the East Meadow school system and later became a probation officer in Nassau County. Chairman Mondello has served as an adjunct professor of government at Hofstra University.
His activities as a probation officer spurred him to return to the study of law, and in 1966, Mondello entered The New England School of Law. Mondello distinguished himself during his tenure in law school; he was named to law review after his first semester (an honor rarely accorded a freshman law student) and continued to serve on law review during his entire law school career. In addition, Mondello received the New England School of Law’s American Jurisprudence Award, one of the school’s highest academic honors.
In 1969, Chairman Mondello graduated from law school and passed the bar examination. He then helped found the Levittown based law firm of Flaum, Imbarrato and Mondello. Chairman Mondello is currently “of counsel” to the law firm of Berkman, Henoch, Peterson and Peddy, which is headquartered in Garden City.
Chairman Mondello utilized his legal skills as counsel to the New York State Legislature, serving the New York State Senate Majority and the New York State Assembly Majority and Minority, the State Committee on Labor, and as a former Assistant District Attorney serving in the Complaint, Felony and Trial Bureaus. He also served as a Special Agent in the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence.
He ran and was elected to the proposed Nassau County Legislature in 1975 but, due to the fact that the electorate failed to approve a referendum setting up a legislative form of government in the County, he never served in that capacity.
