It’s been 47 days since George Santos was ousted from Congress for egregious lies and likely violations of campaign finance laws to get himself elected. Now, you have a chance to help elect real representation for the people of New York’s third congressional district, and help reshape Washington in the process.

On February 13th, voters in the New York third will have the chance to fill Santos’s old seat in the House of Representatives. This special election has the potential to impact our democracy nationwide—for better or for worse. 

The race has come down to Tom Suozzi—a commonsense leader and former congressman with a proven track record of delivering for constituents—and Mazi Melesa Pilip—a little-known MAGA Republican masquerading as a moderate while being backed by anti-abortion extremists.

Need we say more? The choice is clear: Tom Suozzi is the right person for the job. And electing him will help shrink the MAGA Republican majority in the House.

When the communities of Queens and Long Island needed good-paying jobs and investment in the area, Suozzi helped pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill. And where was Pilip? She was probably somewhere schmoozing with George Santos—since she did give him her endorsement when he ran for office. 

If MAGA Republicans get Pilip in the seat, they’ll keep their narrow majority in the House and hold just enough power to keep their chaos agenda going. If Tom Suozzi wins, we can say hello to real representation for NY-03, the MAGA Republican majority shrinks, and we help set the stage to flip the House in November.

This race will affect us all, so it’s all hands on deck. Get ready, charge your phone, and sign up to phonebank today.

Thanks for all that you do.
