Al has a long history of public service, first being elected to the Southold Town Board of Trustees in 1985. He served for 20 years, the last 14 of which as Trustee President.

During his tenure as president, he saw that the overdevelopment of Southold’s shoreline had adverse effects on the environment and quality of life, so he successfully spearheaded the effort to rewrite the town’s 30-year old Wetland Code, affording the Town better environmental and legal protection.

After two decades of service as a Trustee, Al successfully ran for Town Board where he served until he was sworn in as a Suffolk County Legislator in January of 2013. While on the Town Board, Al worked on and supported a town wide drainage code, which reduced road runoff into creeks and estuaries while meeting New York State mandated requirements. He was instrumental in enacting “Big Box Store” legislation which limited size of stores in Southold and protected small business owners. Al was closely involved in developing Southold’s first Wind Energy Code and the Town’s Cellular Tower Law. In addition, Al played a significant role in initiating the Southold’s Comprehensive Plan and he was the most ardent proponent of rezoning Plum Island so it would not be developed with residential housing, golf course or casinos, but will be preserved with over 600 acres of open space and habitat while retaining the ability for research to be conducted on the island.

Since being elected to the Suffolk County Legislature, among other things, his focus has been on land preservation, water quality and other environmental issues, efficacy of government, using tax-payer dollars wisely, public safety and preserving the quality of life for all his constituents.

Al was born and raised on the North Fork and is a fourth generation farmer. He and his wife Mary own and operate Krupski’s Pumpkin Farm, where in addition to growing pumpkins, they grows corn, tomatoes, and a variety of other row crop vegetables.
