With the bellwether special election in New York’s Third Congressional District only six weeks away, Mazi Pilip hasn’t exactly had the best start to 2024.
Barely into the New Year, Pilip has exposed herself for being ill-prepared for federal office by:
Earning a reputation in the Nassau County Legislature for not voicing her opinion in legislature meetings and voting on the party line.
“A review of two years’ worth of transcripts shows Pilip speaks much less frequently than her colleagues. At many meetings, the only words she said into her microphone were ‘here’ during roll call attendance and ‘aye’ during vote tallies.” [Newsday]
Failing to vote in multiple elections, including for the same seat she is now trying to represent.
“The Republican candidate vying for lying ex-Rep.George Santos’ vacated New York seat failed to vote for years in key elections — including for the congressional office she’s running for, voting records reveal.” [New York Post]
Ducking debates by only agreeing to one invitation – that excludes Queens voters – only 5 days before the special election and 5 days after early voting begins.
“Suozzi previously announced debates with WABC, WNBC and NY1, as the Democrat seeks a return to his 3rd congressional seat in the wake of George Santos’ expulsion.” [Patch]
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Mazi Pilip’s record proves she can’t stand up for her current constituents and has failed to vote for the seat she’s now running to represent. It’s clear that the people of Nassau County and Queens can’t count on Pilip to fight for them in Congress.”
