NEW YORK CITY - Democrat Tom Suozzi won a special election in the third district of New York on Tuesday. With around 54% of the votes, Suozzi will represent NY-03 in the House of Representatives —spans from Nassau County in Long Island to parts of Queens— flipping a seat in Congress and making Republicans' narrow majority in the House of Representatives even slimmer.
Suozzi defeated Republican Nassau County legislator Mazi Pilip. The politician and attorney will now take over the seat previously held by George Santos, who in a historical event was expelled from the House in December over several ethics violations, including lying on his resume and biography.
