Tom Suozzi Chosen as Democratic Candidate in NY Special Election to Replace George Santos

Former U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi has been chosen as the Democratic nominee in the upcoming special election to replace ousted congressman George Santos in New York's 2nd Congressional District. Suozzi, who previously held the seat for six years, is seen as an experienced candidate with name recognition and an existing campaign footprint in the district. The race is expected to draw significant attention as both parties vie for control of the House, and Republicans have yet to announce their candidate. The election also presents an opportunity for Democratic leaders in New York to regain suburban congressional districts lost in the previous elections.
