King of Queens Joe Crowley isn't the only Democratic Party poohbah who doesn't live in the borough.
Michael Reich, the Queens Democratic Party's executive secretary and party boss Crowley's right-hand man, actually resides over the Nassau County border in Lawrence, LI, The Post has learned.
Reich also votes in Nassau, Board of Elections records show.
Reich did not return calls for comment.
But Crowley (pictured) stepped forward yesterday to defend his decision to move his family from Queens to Virginia.
"My wife and I have tried having our kids in both places.
As of now, having them where I am during the workweek allows me to be there to tuck them in at night and help with homework," Crowley said.
He insisted that he's able to "devote 100 percent" of his time to constituents when he's in the district on weekends and work periods.
But state Sen. Ruben Diaz, whose district overlaps with Crowley's Queens/Bronx congressional district, called it "hypocrisy," adding: "It's telling the people of the city . . . 'I'm leaving you.'
