Voters in New York’s third congressional district could face a less than ideal choice to replace disgraced former Rep. George Santos (R-NY): a Democrat who voiced support for Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law and a Republican who has been convicted of participating in the January 6 Capitol insurrection. A special election to fill the now-vacant seat after Santos was expelled from Congress last week will be held on February 13. Democratic party bosses hoping to flip the swing district announced their candidate: former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY). In a joint statement, Rep. Greg Meeks (D-NY) from Queens and state Democratic party chair Jay Jacobs showed their support for Tom Suozzi, talking about his record of fighting for his constituents and safeguarding the suburban way of life on Long Island and Queens. As Politico notes, Suozzi represented the district for three terms before leaving Congress to run against New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in the 2022 gubernatorial primary. During that race, one of the policies Suozzi supported was Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education Act,” commonly known as “Don’t Say, Gay.” During a 2022 appearance on WABC’s Bernie & Sid in the Morning, Suozzi described the anti-LGBTQ+ law as “reasonable.” New York GOP leaders are yet to announce their pick for Santos’s seat.
