RNC fully committed to retaining Santos’s ex-NY seat
Republican National Committee to Make Major Investment in New York’s 3rd Congressional District
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is gearing up for a high-stakes battle in New York’s 3rd Congressional District’s special election. With the goal of retaining the seat previously held by disgraced former Rep. George Santos, the RNC is planning to make a significant six-figure investment in the race. To ensure a Republican victory, the committee will deploy a team of 10 dedicated staffers to the district.
Already, four staffers are on the ground in New York, and the RNC is in the process of hiring an additional six who will join them for the election. These staffers will remain in the area through the November 2024 general election, providing support for other races in the vicinity of Long Island.
But that’s not all. In addition to bolstering their ground game, the RNC is tapping into its vast network of volunteers. These dedicated individuals will make phone calls and knock on doors to support Republican candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s Statement:
“In a time of historic antisemitism in America and abroad, IDF veteran and Nassau County community leader Mazi Pilip is the right person to represent New York’s Third Congressional District. With new, full-time staff hires and resources dedicated to Nassau County and Queens, the RNC will spare no effort to protect our Republican House majority.”
Santos’s expulsion from Congress last month, following a scathing Ethics Committee report, has created an opportunity for Pilip to challenge Democratic nominee and former Rep. Tom Suozzi. Pilip’s campaign received a significant boost with the endorsement of the Winning For Women PAC, which pledged a six-figure investment in digital ads, texting, and direct mail to help her secure victory.
The Winning For Women PAC not only plans to maximize its own contribution to Pilip’s campaign but also aims to rally donations from its supporters nationwide.
Statement from WFW Action Fund Executive Director Danielle Barrow:
“Mazi understands the American Dream because she’s lived it. She has dedicated her life to fighting for her community, while career politician Tom Suozzi has spent his entire life fighting for himself. With Democrats already spending heavily to spread lies about Mazi, we are stepping up to help set the record straight and send an accomplished leader to Washington to represent this battleground district.”
Pilip expressed her gratitude for the endorsement, stating, “Winning For Women PAC has a strong track record of backing conservative women leaders, and I am thrilled to have their support in my bid for Congress.”
The RNC’s strategy also includes encouraging voters in New York’s 3rd District to cast their votes early, aligning with their ongoing efforts across the country to promote early and mail-in voting for Republicans.
Following Santos’s removal, the Cook Political Report rates the district as a “Republican Toss Up,” setting the stage for a fiercely contested election.
