We haven't found a sourced summary for John Ricottone yet.

Where we looked:

2026 New York State Assembly election (Wikipedia): each party's primary section named its nominee. It gives the name, party and district and no account of the candidate's record. New York's election office refuses automated requests, so no official candidate list could be read for this seat.

That is where we have looked so far, not everywhere there is to look. If you know John Ricottone's work or background, tell us — we'd rather print it than leave it blank.
