old seatFormer Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York is telling political leaders and wealthy donors that he is considering running for his old seat held by embattled Republican Rep. George Santos, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Suozzi has spoken with officials including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and New York Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs about the prospect of launching a 2024 campaign for a district he represented for almost five years, according to those familiar with the conversations.
"He certainly is giving it consideration. I don't think he's made his mind up by any means," Jacobs, who is also the chairman of the Nassau County Democratic Committee, told CNBC when asked about his discussions with Suozzi. The congressional seat is largely located in Nassau County.
A Suozzi advisor told CNBC that "Tom has been approached by Hakeem, Jay and many others in D.C."

If voting is our remedy for justice these days...2 and 4 years between, without some kind of intervening special election, is TOO much time for interlopers to render destruction on our beloved system.
That fiasco is somehow excusable behavior in the body politik now w this current crop of gop red sympathizing locusts?
Goddammit.
Where's our think tanks? Maybe we need to gofund a few, and appoint our own people accordingly to them.

(37,623 posts)The GQP won't do a g-d thing about Santos' frauds. If he's ever indicted for anything, it won't be resolved until he loses.
Suozzi was a fool to run for Governor and leave his seat vulnerable.

(4,741 posts)You can always get the ball rolling to change the Constitution to make it possible to recall candidates.
You think it should happen, well, get off your rear and get it done.
Until then, accept that there was nothing anyone could do once he got elected and sworn in.
Because there wasn't anything that could be done after voters in that district were so bleeding stupid.
