Tom Suozzi, strong supporter of Israel, returns to Congress

The Forward

Former Congressman Tom Suozzi is returning to Congress and pushing expelled Republican George Santos’ district into the Democratic column.

Suozzi, 61, bested the Republican nominee, Nassau County legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip, 54% to 46% in Tuesday’s special election, according to unofficial election results.

The race centered around immigration and Israel, with both Suozzi and Pilip, an Ethiopian Israel and IDF veteran, pledging to be strong advocates for the Jewish state.

Republicans and Democrats across the nation watched the swing district contest closely, as a possible indicator of which party will take the White House and majorities in Congress in November.
