About Dominick

Dominick Thorne is a life-long Long Island resident, residing in Patchogue Village since the 1980s. Thorne has spent nearly 30 years in the local fire and EMS services and has made it his mission to put people first. His dedication to community service started in grade school, volunteering for the Salvation Army Thrift Store. At 12, he joined the Levittown Fire Department and at 16 he joined an organization of volunteers that patrol the parkways to help stranded motorists.

Upon moving to the Patchogue area, he joined the North Patchogue Fire Department as an EMT-critical care tech in 1990, where he served as captain of Emergency Medical Services for 10 years. He has helped train new team members and created a program to ensure every patient receives the highest level of pre-hospital care.

Dominick worked for over six years at the Suffolk County Board of Elections, serving as the training coordinator there. During his time at the Board, he trained hundreds of Brookhaven volunteers to ensure that the election process here in Suffolk County was fair and the residents could trust in the electoral process.

Dominick was first elected to office on November 2, 2021 and took the official oath of office on January 3, 2022. He was selected to serve as the Vice Chair on the Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services & Preparedness committee.
