Following a string of attacks on New York police using water buckets,LiPetri introduced a bill to make it a felony to assault a police officer with water or any other liquid,such as seminal fluid. [6] [7] This followed concerns that these attacks could escalate to include the use of gasoline or acid. LiPetri participated in a ride-along with ICE officers on Long Island. [8]
LiPetri has criticized New York's bail reform law,which eliminates cash bail for certain misdemeanors and allows people charged with nonviolent crimes to be released without bail pending a court appearance. LiPetri was one of two assemblymen to sponsor a bill to increase penalties for sex crimes involving a minor. [9]
LiPetri sponsored a bill in the Assembly to ban the usage of products that contain 1,4-dioxane:a carcinogen found in tap water on Long Island.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020,Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Department of Health ordered nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for COVID-19. As a result,over 4,500 COVID-19 patients were sent to New York nursing homes. [14] LiPetri called for New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker to be fired as a result of this policy,and called for a federal investigation of this policy,alleging that it resulted in New York's higher levels of COVID-19 cases and deaths. [15] [16]
Following the announcement that 14-term U.S. Representative Peter T. King would not be running for re-election in 2020,LiPetri announced his intention to run for Congress in New York's 2nd congressional district. [17] [18] He ran against Assemblyman Andrew Garbarino in the Republican primary.

[20] Garbarino defeated LiPetri,65% to 35%. [21] The district was a top target for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2020. [22]
LiPetri was chosen by the Nassau County GOP to be their candidate for New York's 3rd congressional district in the 2024 election cycle,a decision made amidst notable competition from within the party. [23] [24] [25] The primary was set for June 25,2024. [26] LiPetri's early selection by the Nassau County GOP leaders positioned him favorably against his challengers,avoiding the typical petitioning process required for candidacy. [27]
Despite LiPetri's appointment by the Nassau GOP as the ballot nominee,candidates including Bill Cotter successfully completed the requirements to appear on the primary ballot. Cotter issued a call to the party's establishment figures,stating,"We request that the Nassau GOP,Joe Cairo,or Mike LiPetri,if they indeed have a hand in this dispute,to retract their objections and support a fair primary process."
