I have always approached elected office as a chance to solve problems, not pass them off to former or future leaders. We need to deal with our problems today and build a better future through hard work and cooperation. My past administrations have left behind a solid record that will serve as a foundation to my time as County Executive.
  Joseph A. Griffo is currently serving as Oneida County executive. Griffo was elected by the Oneida County Board of Legislators by a vote of 23-4. Previous to his current post, Griffo served three terms as Mayor of Rome, New York. Griffo, a Republican, was first elected in 1991, becoming one of the youngest Mayor’s in city history. He was re-elected in overwhelming victories in 1995 and 1999, winning by a more than 2:1 margin.

During his tenure, Griffo has been a leader not only on the local level but also on the state and national levels as well, earning appointments to prestigious state panels by Gov. George Pataki and leadership positions in the United States Conference of Mayors and the New York Conference of Mayors, serving as president.

Known for his conservative fiscal policies and the decisiveness to make things happen, Griffo received the endorsement of the Republican, Conservative and Independence parties in both 1995 and again in 1999.

Griffo first sought elective office in 1989, running for a seat on the Oneida County Legislature. Endorsed as the Republican and Conservative party candidate in a predominately Democratic district, Griffo was successful. In his first term, he was appointed Parliamentarian to the Legislature and was named the Vice Chairman of the Legislature’s Planning Committee. He also served on the Economic Development, Public Health and Courts and Laws Committees.
