- Joseph_Margiotta abstract "Joseph M. Margiotta (c. 1927 – November 28, 2008) was an American political boss who ran the Nassau County, New York Republican Party, considered "one of the most powerful political organizations in New York State",until his 1983 convictions on federal charges.Margiotta represented Uniondale in the New York State Assembly from 1966 until 1976, when he was succeeded by Kemp Hannon.Margiotta became chairman of the Nassau Republican Party in 1967, exercising control over political appointments and patronage jobs, and playing an active role in issues including allocation of cable television franchises and bridge tolls. Residents would often call a local Republican committeeman to deal with issues like broken streetlights instead of calling a county agency.At a campaign rally held in 1972 with a crowd of 15,000 at the Nassau Coliseum as part of Richard Nixon's re-election campaign, Nixon's opening words were "This is the biggest and best rally, Joe Margiotta, I have ever seen".He was convicted in 1981 for his involvement in a scheme in which a Long Island insurance company would split its commissions with Republican politicians, with some $678,000 brought in over a decade. The government's case relied on the presumption that Margiotta's influence over county government made him a public official subject to federal extortion laws, even though he was not an elected official. Margiotta insisted that he had not broken any laws, stating that "I've been convicted because I’ve been a successful political leader". After his conviction on federal mail fraud and conspiracy charges as part of the municipal insurance kickback scheme, he was forced to resign from his post and spent 14 months in prison.Among his most successful protégés were former United States Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato, former New York State Republican Party chairman Joseph Mondello, and Dean Skelos, majority leader of the New York State Senate.He was an alumnus of Hofstra University, which named its field house Margiotta Hall in his honor in 1991. Margotta was a Hofstra student-athlete and long-time supporter. He founded the Hofstra Pride Club and served as its president for more than 20 years. The Joseph M. Margiotta Distinguished Service Award is given annually by Hofstra in recognition of extraordinary dedication, generosity and service to the Hofstra Pride Club and Hofstra athletics.Margiotta, a resident of Brookville, New York, died at age 81 on November 28, 2008 at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York, where he had been hospitalized for nearly a week.".
