Vincent J. Gentile

Vincent J. Gentile is a member of the New York City Council representing District 43, which comprises portions of Dyker Heights, as well as the Southwest Brooklyn neighborhoods of Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, and Dyker Heights.

Gentile was elected to the City Council in a special election held in 2003 to fill the seat vacated by former City Councilman Martin J. Golden.

Gentile chairs the Libraries Committee on the Council, and serves on the Aging, Cultural Affairs, Finance, and Public Safety committees.

Gentile first won public office in 1996, when he was able to capitalize upon internal divisions within the Republican Party and win a three-way race for the 23rd District in the New York State Senate. He would go on to serve three terms before being defeated by then City Councilman Martin J. "Marty" Golden in 2002.

Prior to his involvement in electoral politics Gentile was a prosecutor in the District Attorney's office for eight years.

He has a B.A. from Cornell University and a J.D. from Fordham University.
