Jordan Hoffman Enters Race For Babylon Village Trustee Ahead Of March Election

BABYLON VILLAGE, NY — Babylon Village resident Jordan Hoffman has announced his candidacy for Babylon Village trustee in the March 18 election.

Hoffman, who has lived in Babylon Village for five years, will challenge appointed incumbent Suffolk County Water Authority CEO Jeff Szabo, who was appointed by Mayor Mary Adams. Hoffman is running on a platform that emphasizes open communication with residents and governance that reflects what he described as the lived experiences of community members.

Hoffman holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University at Albany, earned in 2006, and a Juris Doctor from the Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center at Touro College, earned in 2013. He is admitted to practice law in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and the Southern District of New York, the release states.

According to the campaign, Hoffman has an extensive record of volunteer service. He served for 16 years on the board of the Bay Community Volunteer Ambulance Corps and continues to volunteer with the Five Quad Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Since 2021, he has volunteered with the Babylon Fire Department, where he currently serves as a lieutenant in the rescue squad, is a member of the high-water rescue unit, and participates on the department’s recruitment committee.

The campaign also highlighted Hoffman’s involvement with youth and community organizations, including volunteering with the West Islip Swim Club and Babylon Little League since 2021. In addition, the release states that Hoffman organized charitable collections to purchase Christmas gifts for 64 autistic children through P23Q in Woodside, Queens, in 2024 and 2025, and coordinated additional collections benefiting the Boys & Girls Club in 2025.

Hoffman also regularly runs free CPR and first-aid classes for babysitters, Boy Scouts, and teachers across multiple school districts, according to the campaign. He was previously recognized as one of nine village residents honored with the community’s first Unsung Heroes Awards.

“I’m running for Trustee because service shouldn’t stop at committee oversight, ribbon cuttings, and parades—it should extend into how we govern and share our governance with the community,” Hoffman said in a statement. “Babylon Village deserves leadership that is efficient, transparent, prepared, and deeply connected to the people it serves.”

According to the campaign, Hoffman plans to engage residents through direct outreach, community meetings, and public forums throughout the election season.

A campaign kickoff event is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 17, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Jack Jack’s Coffee House, located at 223 Deer Park Ave., according to the campaign.

Residents can vote in the Babylon Village elections on March 18 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Babylon Village Hall on 153 West Main Street, Babylon Village.
