Gina Sillitti

In late February 2021, after the Andrew Cuomo sexual harassment allegations became public, Sillitti was among a group of assemblywomen who issued a statement calling for an independent investigator to be appointed by Attorney General Letitia James. She later pushed back against calls for his immediate resignation, being among 23 Democratic assemblywomen to say the attorney general's investigation should be completed first, in a split among New York Democrats.

Sillitti was nominated at the Nassau County Democratic Committee Convention on February 11, 2020, after Assemblyman Anthony D'Urso announced he would be retiring.

From 2015 to 2020, Sillitti was the human resources director for the Nassau County Board of Elections.

Sillitti began her political career working in the office of Nassau County Legislator Dave Mejias. She then worked in the Department of Community Services for the Town of North Hempstead, being appointed as deputy commissioner in 2010. She later worked as director of legislator affairs and deputy chief of staff for Town Supervisor Jon Kaiman.

Sillitti grew up in Mount Sinai, New York and Florida. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Georgia in 2000. She moved to Manorhaven in 2012. She is married to Kevin Clemency.
