Angelo F. Orazio (June 19, 1926 – January 22, 2018) was a Democratic American politician who served in the New York State Assembly from the 15th district from 1975 to 1984.[1][2] He was elected by defeating the Assembly's Majority Leader, John E. Kingston in 1974, a year when the fallout from Watergate brought down many Republicans nationwide. He was defeated by Dan Frisa after 10 years in the legislature.[3]

Orazio was born June 19, 1926, in Cosenza, Calabria, Italy.

He lost a race for the State Senate to Michael J. Tully Jr. in 1986.[4]

He died on January 22, 2018, in Albertson, New York at age 91.[5]
