NY race to replace George Santos may be test for Republicans looking to keep House in November
Fox News
Both Republicans and Democrats are investing heavily into winning the Long Island Congressional district that was left empty when scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos was expelled.
It’s between Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, a Nassau County official, and former Rep. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y., who left his seat at the end of 2022 for an unsuccessful bid to primary Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. Elizabeth Elkind is a reporter for Fox News Digital focused on Congress as well as the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and politics.

"I think it's anybody's game at this point," Naysa Woomer, Santos’ former communications director and a former aide to Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, told Fox News Digital. "Even though Tom Suozzi was the former member that represented NY-3 for quite some time, but it's still a new ballgame — especially with Mazi Pilip…she's a local legislator. I think that could give her a real leg up, just having that name recognition but at a local level." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
