New York City Council Minority Leader Joseph C. Borelli
While I doubt it’s easy being City Council’s GOP leader, Councilman Borelli makes dressing for the role look effortless. He is one of few men who truly understands how to forgo a tie and still look dapper.

United States Representative Mike Lawler
A cross between an ivy league intellect and a DC power broker, Congressman Lawler consistently stands out for his superbly groomed beard and fourfold ties.

New York State Senator James Skoufis
This guy’s style continues to get better and better. Senator Skoufis sports suits of all colors and fabrics better than most, and he always appears put together.

New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano
There’s nothing I appreciate more than a person who takes pride in their appearance- it speaks to their confidence and overall sense of self-worth. So, it goes without saying that I had to mention Senator Serrano. This is a man who is intentional with his fashion choices and isn’t afraid to make a statement with his style. Plus, he kills a bowtie!

New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern
I have never seen a man look more comfortable and confident in a suit. He’ll even wear one to an Islanders game!
