Steven H. Stern is a member of the New York State Assembly, representing the 10th district, which includes portions of the towns of Babylon and Huntington in Suffolk County. A Democrat, Stern was first elected in 2018 through a special election.
Stern is from Holbrook, New York. He graduated from Tulane University and received his law degree from Western Michigan University, later becoming a partner at Davidow and Davidow in Islandia, New York where he focused on elder law. In 2005, Stern ran for the Suffolk County Legislature, and was reelected five times, serving until 2018.
