Elect a 15 year public servant, not a politician.
Dean Tarulli for State Assembly
Nassau County District 15
Hi! I’m Dean Tarulli!
I am running to be the State Assembly representative for District 15. This district covers Northeast Nassau County.
Why me?
I am a Marine Scientist and currently serve as the NYC Deputy Director of Coastal Resilience at the Department of Infrastructure and Design.
Hey Dean, what does that mean?
Glad you asked! I’ve spent my career coordinating with government agencies and navigating state and federal programs. I was the Hurricane Relief Biologist for Superstorm Sandy across Long Island.
With boots on the ground experience during tough times, I firmly believe that the local government should be doing a better job of utilizing what it has to reach more people in the most impactful way possible.
While currently working for the City of New York, I’ve also been the Director of Flood Mitigation for Westchester County. I’m running to be your State level representative not as a career politician but as a concerned citizen who wants to protect our community from natural (and man-made) disasters, fix our aging infrastructure, and see our tax dollars actually work in the neighborhoods we live in.
The heavy reliance on taxpayer money spent frivolously has to be put in check, with my infrastructure experience. I know the path to get this done.

What Matters To Our Community
-
Affordability
Our kids, our friends, and young families are being priced off of Long Island; and Albany’s answer is to dictate to our communities how and where to build. I know Albany doesn’t know our neighborhoods better than we do. I’ll be an advocate for housing that lets young families put down roots and stay near the towns they grew up in; built the way our communities choose, not forced on us by top-down state mandates. That means partnering with local leaders, respecting the character of our neighborhoods, and giving our towns the tools and resources to create the housing that actually fits them. Keeping the next generation here starts with trusting the people who actually live here.

Building for Resilience
I’ve safeguarded over $500 million in federal disaster-recovery funds. I lead the approval process for construction reimbursement with fairness and compliance. Improved standards means safer homes and more secure communities. This is the knowledge I’ll bring to Albany while advocating for people. I’ll bring that same standard to how our state spends our tax dollars; with real oversight and less waste for better investments.
