About the Speaker...

As the former Mayor of Bogota New Jersey, Steve Longegan successfully brought a "Taxpayers First" philosophy to his constituents. Steve fought against numerous proposed tax hikes and kept all municipal spending below inflation for the entire twelve years of his term in the face of reduced suburban aid and state mandates. Steve joined Americans for Prosperity in 2006 where he continues to fight for taxpayers. Americans for Prosperity is an organization dedicated to educating citizens about economic policy and engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets. In 2007, Lonegan authored "Putting Taxpayers First," where he focuses on the entitlement state created by liberal Democrats and "moderate" Republicans.

Lonegan currently narrates the "Taxpayer Minute" on radio stations in New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia and he hosts a weekly radio show on WIBG in Ocean City. "New Jersey's Mayor" has been a guest on numerous TV news programs including Your World with Neil Cavuto, Fox & Friends, Good Day New York, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Glenn Beck, Hannity & Colmes, Scarborough Country and New Jersey Power and Politics. He is a featured columnist on PoliticsNJ.com and news-papers throughout New Jersey.
