Legislator Jason Richberg began his career in government in 2010, when he was named Chief of Staff to Suffolk County Legislator DuWayne Gregory. Prior to assuming elective office, Jason served as both Deputy Clerk and Clerk of the Suffolk County Legislature. Jason Richberg’s years in government are rich with experience. He created a Youth Leadership Caucus, assisted with Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, brought in shot spotter to aid the Suffolk County Police Department, and organized the National Night Out in Wyandanch to help bring the community together with law enforcement. As Deputy Clerk, he formalized the legislature’s internship program, creating what is now known as the Page Program; an intensive 12-week summer program which provides a select group of college-age students with first-hand experience in government through participation in a mock legislature. When he was promoted to Clerk of the Legislature, Richberg worked to make government more accessible to the public by leading a redesign of the website to ensure documents are accessible to all. His work with the Suffolk County Legislature has been marked by “firsts” that benefit residents of the county and ensure their hard-earned dollars are put to good use. As of 2022, he is the Minority Leader for the Suffolk County Legislature.
