Stern is from Holbrook, New York. He graduated from Tulane University and received his law degree from Western Michigan University, later becoming a partner at Davidow and Davidow in Islandia, New York where he focused on elder law.[2] In 2005, Stern ran for the Suffolk County Legislature, and was reelected five times, serving until 2018.[3]

When Congressman Steve Israel retired in 2016, Stern ran in the open Democratic primary to represent New York's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, but lost the primary election to Tom Suozzi.[4]

In 2018, Stern was recruited to run and won a special election to succeed Chad Lupinacci in the New York State Assembly, becoming the first Democrat to win the district in 40 years.[5] He would easily win election to a full term in the 2018 general election.[6]

Stern currently lives in Dix Hills, New York.[4]
