Garbarino entered elected office in 2012, when Phil Boyle left his New York Assembly seat to run for the state Senate and the Republican Party nominated Garbarino to replace him.
He won that election with 56% of the vote and was re-elected in 2014, 2016 and 2018, representing the 7th Assembly district from 2013 to 2020.
When Representative Peter T. King announced his retirement in 2020, Garbarino ran for the 2nd congressional district, defeating Assemblyman Mike LiPetri 65% to 35% in the June 23 Republican primary and Democrat Jackie Gordon 53% to 46% in the general election.
He beat Gordon again in 2022, 60.7% to 39.3%, and in 2024 won with 59.8% against Democrat Rob Lubin.
In the House, Garbarino belongs to the Republican Governance Group and has been regarded as a moderate Republican. He voted for the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 and for the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022.
