About Joe Having lived in the same Irondequoit neighborhood most of his life, Joe Morelle’s passion in fighting for Monroe County families is borne from his deep love for his community.

He is an inductee of the Eastridge High School Hall of Fame and the State University of New York Alumni Honor Roll. Joe and his wife, Mary Beth have three children. Mary Beth teaches in the East Irondequoit School District, which all three Morelle children have attended. Since his election to the New York State Assembly in 1990, Joe has authored more than 140laws and established himself as a leader on the issues that matter most to the people of Upstate New York. Joe is particularly recognized for his efforts to improve New York’s business climate. That is especially true in Upstate New York, which has experienced severe job and population losses since the early 1990s. A former small business owner himself, Joe is a lifelong Upstate resident who understands the region’s unique challenges. In the Assembly Joe chairs the standing Committee on Insurance and is a member of the powerful Rules and Ways and Means committees. He also holds assignments on the standing committees for Economic Development, Job Creation, Commerce and Industry, and Higher Education. |
