Anthony Joseph Brindisi (born November 22, 1978) is an American lawyer and politician from the state of New York.

Before his election to the New York State Assembly, Brindisi served on the Utica School Board and practiced as an attorney.

Brindisi narrowly defeated Republican U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney in the 2018 election in New York's 22nd congressional district.

[6][7] Following the appointment of Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito as Commissioner of the New York State Office of General Services, Brindisi won a special election to replace her to represent the 119th Assembly district, beating Republican Gregory Johnson in a September 13, 2011, special election.

[10] Brindisi voted against the NY SAFE Act, a 2013 gun control law written in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

[13] Brindisi ran for Congress in New York's 22nd congressional district, which was held by one-term Republican Claudia Tenney of nearby New Hartford.

[14][15] The brand of Republicanism in central New York has traditionally been a moderate one, and Tenney was considered a staunch conservative and an outspoken supporter of President Trump.

[27] On February 5, 2021, New York Supreme Court Judge Scott DelConte ruled in Tenney's favor, allowing her to be declared the winner of the election by 109 votes.

[28] On December 18, 2019, Brindisi voted to impeach President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

[33] President Biden nominated Brindisi to a seat being vacated by Judge David N. Hurd, who announced his intent to assume senior status upon confirmation of a successor.

[35] During his confirmation hearing, he was questioned by Senator John Kennedy on the constitutional limits of the government speech doctrine.

Brindisi could not say whether the government has free speech rights, struggling with the constitutional law question posed by Senator Kennedy.
