Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December and is facing federal charges of defrauding donors to his 2022 campaign, has announced his candidacy for the House once again. Santos, a Republican, is the sixth member in history to be ousted by fellow House members.
He revealed his decision to run for office again in a post on social media, where he stated his intention to challenge Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in New York's 1st Congressional District on Long Island. This district differs from the one Santos previously represented before his expulsion.
