Republican LiPetri does acknowledge he continues to list his parents' residence as a permanent address for mailing and voting -- but his campaign says he shares an apartment elsewhere in the district with a girlfriend with whom he is now engaged, and that they are house-hunting.
The 35-yr-old Trump-endorsed candidate in this GOP primary for a U.S. House seat held by Dem Tom Suozzi says he does not reside -- as his opponent insinuates -- in his parents' house. But he does claim to be more in-tune with economic challenges younger Long Island adults face

In 12 years of elected office on Long Island, I recall Kirsten Gillibrand coming to my district ONCE for a purpose other than to fundraise. At no point in my life, past, present, or future, will I (or any other Long Islander for that matter) be lectured about “Long Island Roots” by that lazy, absentee, empty chair, empty suit, MIA Senator.
