Some background
Seddio, a lifelong Brooklynite who grew up in Canarsie in the 1950s and 1960s — “the old Canarsie,” as he puts it — started his foray into politics decades ago in the mid-1960s.
“As a teenager, I always liked politics and was always active in my community,” Seddio said.
Shortly after joining the Knights, he became a New York City police officer at the age of 20, one of the youngest at the time, and served for 23 years.
In the ‘90s, Seddio was a member of Community School Board 18 and president of the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club, one of the most active political organizations in New York City representing Mill Basin, Flatlands, Bergen Beach, Georgetown, Marine Park, Mill Island, Bayview and the Glenwood Houses.
It is home to community activists and elected officials who have a shared interest in the success and flourishing of Southern Brooklyn.
Seddio is currently principal attorney at Seddio & Associates as well as district leader for the 59th Assembly District. He is also commissioner of the Board of Elections and chairman emeritus of the Kings County Democratic Party.
Seddio served as a member of the New York State Assembly, representing southeastern Brooklyn from 1998 to 2005 before serving as a Kings County Surrogate Court Judge from 2006 to 2007.
