Special Election to Replace Expelled Rep. George Santos Set for February 13

Former Rep. Tom Suozzi Expected to be Democratic Nominee, Republicans Still Screening Potential Contenders

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has scheduled a special election to replace former Rep. George Santos for Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
George Santos was expelled from Congress last Friday following a scandal-plagued tenure and a looming criminal trial.
Party leaders in Nassau County and Queens will pick the nominees without a primary.
Democrats are expected to pick former Rep. Tom Suozzi, while Republicans are in the process of screening potential contenders.
The race is expected to be a high-profile contest that will mark the start of a year of consequential congressional elections in the state.
