Bruce Faulkner Caputo

Bruce Faulkner Caputo

Bruce Faulkner Caputo (born August 7, 1943) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from New York. He graduated from Deerfield Academy in 1961, Harvard University in 1965, and Georgetown Law School in 1971. He was in the New York State Assembly from 1973 until 1976. He was elected in Congress in 1976 and served from January 3, 1977 until January 3, 1979. He was also the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1978.

In 1982, Caputo announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Republican Party bosses forced Caputo to withdraw from the race after opponents sought to clear the way for Moynihan by claiming Caputo had misrepresented his role during the Vietnam War. They argued he had called himself a "draftee," when in fact he had worked as an analyst in the Pentagon.

Personal life

Caputo is married to Bonnie Caputo, the first woman pilot for a major airline. They have two children. He is currently a resident of Bronxville, New York.
