The race to replace disgraced former congressman George Santos in New York’s 3rd Congressional District comes down to tonight.
Former Rep. Tom Suozzi, who represented the district before launching his failed bid for governor of New York in 2022 is facing off against Nassau County legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip, who is a fascinating conservative candidate.

When Pilip first emerged as the GOP candidate, our own Vodkapundit described her this way: “Lefties are practically wetting themselves because Pilip is an Orthodox Jewish Woman of Color Onetime Synagogue Vice President Former Machine-Gun Toting Paratrooper Mom of Seven. Any two of those items together is enough to make their heads explode, and she has four of five of them going on.”
Both candidates are trying their hardest to get out the vote:

Even though RealClearPolling gives Suozzi a slight edge, just above most polls’ margin of error, CNN claims that Democrats are a little worried about this race. In a piece that makes as many digs at Pilip as it can, CNN says that in this district “the signs of a Republican renaissance – and diminishing returns from a disjointed Democratic state party – were soon to come on display.”

Will Suozzi prove the polls right? Will Pilip keep the seat in Republican hands? Is she a rising star in the GOP? There are tons of questions surrounding this race, and regardless of the outcome, we may not know all the answers when it’s all said and done.
