Democrats Launch Ad Campaign Against Republican Candidate Mazi Pilip in NY Special Election

The ad accuses Pilip, running for the seat vacated by expelled Rep. George Santos, of supporting cuts to Social Security, veterans' benefits, and law enforcement funding.

Democrats have launched a seven-figure TV ad campaign against Republican candidate Mazi Pilip, who is running for the vacant House seat in New York's Third Congressional District.
The ad claims that Pilip, who was 'handpicked by MAGA,' would support cuts to Social Security, veterans’ benefits, and law enforcement funding.
Pilip, a former IDF paratrooper and current member of the Nassau County legislature, has been defended by local Republican leaders who claim the ad is full of lies.
Pilip is running against former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi in a special election scheduled for February 13.
The special election is being held to fill the vacancy left by former Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House for ethical transgressions, including misuse of campaign funds.
