Representative Anthony D’Esposito, a first-term Republican congressman who just lost reelection to his Long-Island area seat to Democrat Laura Gillen, is angling to be Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration.
A former Hempstead councilman and police detective who served for more than a decade in the NYPD, D’Esposito says in an exclusive interview with National Review that he’s “done the work that the DEA does” and that he has a “unique ability to bridge the gap between the DEA and the Hill.” He is also one of the few freshmen with a gavel, serving as chairman of the Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology.
