"Former IDF Soldier Mazi Melesa Pilip Chosen by GOP to Replace George Santos in Special Election"
TL;DR Summary
Republicans have chosen Mazi Melesa Pilip, an Israeli military veteran and local legislator with little political experience, as their candidate for the New York House seat vacated by George Santos. Party leaders believe Pilip has the potential to be a breakout star, but her policy views are largely unknown. The decision is seen as a bold gamble by Long Island Republicans, who typically nominate older, white establishment figures. The special election is scheduled for February 13, 2024.
