Cooper Macco is a lifelong Long Islander. Cooper spent his early years in Halesite. After his parents divorced, Cooper split his time between Lloyd Harbor and Centerport, enjoying the unique benefits of both areas. Cooper graduated from Cold Spring Harbor High School in 2004 and Long Island University CW Post Campus with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in 2008. After spending a year tutoring children, Cooper attended St. John’s University School of Law, graduating cum laude in 2012. While in law school, Cooper served as Articles Editor of the Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development and Vice President of the Bankruptcy Law Society. Upon graduation, Cooper joined a bankruptcy law firm in Jericho, New York, where he focused on representing bankruptcy trustees, creditors, and corporate debtors. In 2014, Cooper joined his family practice, transitioning his focus to consumer representation in bankruptcy and foreclosure actions. Since that time, Cooper has used his legal knowledge and experience to assist Long Islanders in relieving the high burden of debts, including credit card and medical debts, while protecting their home and other assets. In doing so, Cooper has assisted countless Long Islanders in saving their home from foreclosure through bankruptcy and foreclosure defense. Outside of his career, Cooper resides in Halesite with his wife, Elizabeth, a speech language pathologist with the NYC Department of Education, and two sons, aged 4 and 6.
  • Capital Improvements and Infrastructure Maintenance
  • Clean Water and Renewable Energy
  • Supporting Working Families
I am passionate about representing Long Island's interest in the state budget. Long Island is in need of capital improvements and major infrastructure. This can only be accomplished through the NYS budget. I will vehemently fight for this in Albany when elected. Additionally, I believe that Long Island needs to preserve its natural resources for future generations. We can do this through the expansion of sewer systems and moving away from antiquated cesspools and septic tanks. We must also move towards clean energy, with additional investments into alternative energy such as wind and solar. Finally, working families on Long Island are facing unprecedented financial hardships. We must expand both the childcare tax credit and universal pre-kindergarten program to help alleviate this burden.
