REPUBLICAN Congressman Lee Zeldin is married to Diana and the couple have two daughters.
The congressman announced on April 8 that he would run for governor of New York in 2022 against incumbent Democrat Andrew Cuomo.
Lee Zeldin, 41, is married to Diana Zeldin.
Little is known about Diana as she keeps a low-key profile but she is reportedly a mormon.
Zeldin is Jewish and a member of B’nai Israel Reform Temple.
The couple have two identical daughters, Mikayla and Arianna, who attend Hebrew school at the Temple.
The family currently resides in Shirley, New York.
Zeldin wished Diana a happy birthday on his Facebook account back in 2018, writing: “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife. Our little girls and I love you!”
Zeldin is an American attorney who opened law practice in Smithtown, New York after serving four years of active duty in the US Army.
He operated the firm full time until he was elected to the New York State Senate in 2010.
In 2014 he was elected to the US House of Representatives, representing New York’s First Congressional District.
Zeldin also serves on two Committees in the House of Representatives: Financial Services and Foreign Affairs.
Zeldin announced that he wanted to run for governor of New York in the next election on November 8, 2022.
He tweeted his desire to campaign for the role, writing: “I’ll bring the kind of relentless, fighting spirit towards helping to save our state that Cuomo reserves for multi-million dollar self-congratulatory book deals, cover-ups, abuse & self-dealing.”
The congressman also slammed New York’s “1-party Dem rule in NYC & Albany,” saying “the light that was a beacon of what America can be has gone dark.”
“The NY once a magnet for the world’s best & brightest is now forcing its own to leave under the weight of crushing taxes, lost jobs, suffocating regulations, & rising crime,” he wrote.
He addressed the public on Fox and Friends on Thursday, April 8 and told viewers: “We are going to win this race. I’m all in. We are all in.”
Zeldin is reportedly worth over $175,000.
He is considered one of Long Island’s wealthiest congress members, with Senator Charles E. Schumer leading by almost double in salary.
