A lifelong resident of Monroe County , Vincent Esposito represents the 16th Legislative District, which includes the northern portion of the town of Irondequoit .  In 2007, he was elected to serve a 4-year term. Vinnie currently serves as the Ranking Minority Member of the Legislature’s Planning and Economic Development Committee, and is also a member of the Transportation Committee. In April 2008 he was appointed to the Monroe County Planning Board.

 

A native of the Village of Fairport , Vinnie is a member of the Fairport High School class of ‘94. Following graduation, Vinnie studied at SUNY Geneseo before taking a position as a software developer with a small, Rochester-based firm, MMI Technologies, Inc.

 

Vinnie has a strong background and experience in government and public policy, having worked for the New York State Assembly since 2003. It has been the experience of watching so many of his friends and contemporaries leave Monroe County that has, in a large part, motivated Vinnie to expand his public service and be a part of the effort to restore economic promise and prosperity to our community and region.
