Issues

Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Daniel Losquadro has a history of proven environmentalism stretching back more than two decades. First elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 2003, then Legislator Losquadro served as Chairman of the Environment, Planning, and Agriculture Committee where he oversaw all legislation regarding natural resources and environmental protection. Losquadro also served as the legislative member of the Suffolk County Soil and Water Conservation District for more than six years. During his tenure, the first ever pesticide reduction programs in the county were established along with grants for farmers to install the necessary infrastructure to protect Long Islands sole source aquifers. Additionally, Dan served on the Environmental Trust Review Board and was responsible for reviewing proposed land acquisitions, voting on property appraisals, and deciding whether the Director of Real Estate can proceed with negotiations. His unrelenting efforts led to the preservation of more than 7000 acres of land during his tenure in the county.

As Superintendent of Highways for the Town of Brookhaven, Dan Losquadro has produced countless tangible environmental protection projects at a pace not seen in any other municipality on Long Island. With a town that stretches from the Long Island Sound, to the Great South Bay, to the Atlantic Ocean, the Highway Department is at the forefront of water quality preservation. Making it his top priority, Losquadro has invested over $112 million since 2013 on stormwater management and treatment projects that have preserved our vulnerable surface and drinking waters. Many long standing problems that have eluded solution for decades have been engineered, funded, and constructed because of his efforts. While many will argue about the causes or the pace of climate change, Dan Losquadro has dealt with the reality of rising sea levels and major storms that have increased in intensity and frequency.
