Former Rep. Tom Suozzi has been chosen as the Democratic nominee in the special election for George Santos’ seat.

The announcement was made by Nassau County Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs and Queens County Democratic Chair Gregory Meeks.

The statement by Jacobs and Meeks said in part, “Tom Suozzi has a proven record of fighting for his constituents, fighting to safeguard our suburban way of life here on Long Island and Queens and always advocating for sensible solutions to the real challenges affecting everyday average Americans.”

Suozzi, of Glen Cove, had previously served as a congressman for the 3rd Congressional District, Nassau County executive and Glen Cove mayor.
