GOP Selects Ex-Israeli Soldier as Replacement for Expelled NY Rep. Santos
TL;DR Summary
New York Republicans have nominated Mazi Melesa Pilip, an ex-Israeli soldier and Nassau County legislator, in the special election for the 3rd Congressional District seat previously held by expelled GOP Rep. George Santos. Pilip, an Israeli immigrant born in Ethiopia, will face former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi. The race is seen as significant for Republicans, who have a slim majority in the House, and Democrats hope to capitalize on Santos' scandals. The election will be held on February 13, and the fate of the district's boundaries is currently uncertain due to a court order to redraw them.
