New Jersey Senate 
Corrado was appointed fill the seat left by former Senator Kevin J. O'Toole, who had resigned from office on July 1, 2017, to become a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

In early 2018 Corrado led a fight to block Governor Phil Murphy's nomination of Assemblywoman Elizabeth Maher Muoio to be Secretary of Treasury, questioning Muoio's lack of experience in issues related to her proposed position.

Corrado sponsored a bill alongside Senators Paul Sarlo, Gerald Cardinale, Loretta Weinberg, and Joseph Lagana that would push a special election to the following year if a vacancy for the County Sheriff, Clerk, or Surrogate posts if the vacancy occurs 70 days before election day.
