Attorney John Ciampoli is running for one of three New York Supreme Court seats in the Ninth Judicial District in the Nov. 3 election.
The state’s amended certification lists him on the Republican line. Five candidates are competing for three seats, and voters may select up to three candidates.
The judicial district includes Westchester, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam and Rockland counties. Candidates listed on multiple party lines remain individual candidates in the contest.
Professional background
A professional biography published by the Federalist Society identifies Ciampoli as of counsel to Messina, Perillo and Hill. It describes more than 35 years of litigation experience and a Hofstra law degree earned in 1984.
The biography lists work involving election law, municipal law, labor matters and civil rights. It also identifies him as a former Nassau County attorney.
That biography supplies information about his professional career; its publication is not described here as an endorsement of his judicial candidacy.
Candidate responses
No submitted Surround Sound Media questionnaire response from Ciampoli was available as of Oct. 14. This profile draws on his professional biography and the official general-election certification.
Correction, Oct. 14, 2026: An earlier version incorrectly listed George Fufidio on the Working Families line. The certified ballot lists him on the Democratic and Republican lines.
Responses are based on public data and answers to a Surround Sound Media questionnaire if they were provided.
