    Who is Greg Grizopoulos, and why is he running for Huntington Town Council?

    He’s more than a name on a ballot—he’s a former prosecutor, a respected trial attorney, a father of three, and a proud resident of Melville. Greg built his career on standing up for justice and defending the people of Long Island—both in the courtroom and in the community. From prosecuting violent crimes as an Assistant District Attorney to helping injured clients and those accused of a crime as a private attorney, Greg knows what it means to fight for fairness and safety. Now, he’s looking forward to bringing that same commitment to the Town of Huntington.

    —Protecting a suburban quality of life
    —Promoting responsible development    , not overdevelopment
    —Ensuring public safety, transparency, and real representation

    This isn’t about politics—it’s about people. Your neighborhood. Your family. Your voice.
