Joseph M. "Joe" Giglio is a New York State Assemblyman from the 148th district, which includes all of Cattaraugus County, southern Allegany County and the easternmost towns and villages in Chautauqua County. He is a registered Republican.

As Former Deputy Inspector General, Giglio conducted investigations of alleged criminal activity, fraud and abuse by individuals and company officials who deal with state agencies in a region stretching from Buffalo to Syracuse to the Pennsylvania border. Prior to joining the inspector general’s office, Giglio served as a special assistant to then-New York State Attorney General Dennis Vacco, as an employee of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Department, responsible for coordinating efforts with all branches of government.[3][4]

Giglio ascended to the Assembly due to a series of events following the death of former New York State Assemblywoman and Senator Patricia McGee, defeating Cattaraugus County legislator Carmen Vecchiarella in a special election on June 28, 2005.[5] He won re-election in 2006 over Cattaraugus County legislator Linda Witte[6] and again in 2008 over Allegany County supervisor Patrick Eaton.[7] He faced Travis Lecceadone in the 2010 general election.[8]

Giglio received a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He and his wife Ann Marie reside in the village of Gowanda, New York with three of their children, while a grown son[2] resides in nearby Salamanca.
