Democrat Tom Suozzi sworn back into Congress after winning special election for NY-3

NEW YORK -- Democrat Tom Suozzi was sworn in Wednesday to replace former Congressman George Santos, representing Long Island and Queens' 3rd congressional district.  

Suozzi's victory in the recent special election cuts into House Republicans' already slim majority.

Democrats now have 16 seats in New York, with Republicans holding 10. However, with the newly drawn congressional maps, Democratic officials believe the maps will yield 18 safe seats for their party, six for the Republicans and two toss-ups.
