NY-03: Santos announces his run for reelection for Congress [View all]
The best place to find out what Congressman George Santos is doing or saying is on Twitter, which is where he announced on Monday he would run for reelection. The declaration was not surprising because the embattled congressman had submitted his statement of candidacy to the Federal Election Commission in March. Even so, the announcement led immediately to outrage from elected leaders from both sides of the aisle. No one seemed to be happy about Santos’ attempt to extend his representation of the 3rd Congressional District in 2024, except perhaps the New York Young Republican Club who tweeted their support on Monday.
Santos seems to be experiencing a disconnect when it comes to support among his constituents. According to a Newsday–Siena College poll released at the end of January, among the 653 registered voters who live in the 3rd Congressional District, 78 percent believed the Republican should resign. Eighty-nine percent of Democrats and 72 percent of independents agreed as did 71 percent of Republicans.
Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck said Santos will not receive any support from her or anyone in the Nassau County Republican Party.
“We asked him to step down and he ignored us,” Panzenbeck said. “He’s delusional. And he seems to love the attention, good or bad.”
