The GOP’s Hard-To-Find Candidate Is A Wild Card In Race To Succeed Santos

Former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D) has dubbed Republican Mazi Pilip "Santos 2.0."
In late January, the 19-member Nassau County legislature cast a critical vote on how to divvy up $262 million in federal aid left over from President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which delivered billions of dollars in aid to states and cities across the country.
The vote broke down along partisan lines. Eleven Republicans approved the package, rolling $222 million into the county’s general fund, allotting $25 million to the sewer and stormwater fund, and $15 million for community projects.
All of the body’s seven Democrats voted against the bill on the grounds that they should have set aside $19 million for community projects and given each member authority to distribute $1 million, rather than giving the GOP county executive control over how it is distributed.
One of the chamber’s 19 lawmakers was unaccounted for, however. Mazi Melesa Pilip, a two-term county legislator from Great Neck and the Republican nominee for New York’s 3rd Congressional District, walked out of the county legislative meeting without casting a vote.
Her absence during a key legislative vote has become a symbol, to Democrats at least, of Pilip’s evasiveness on difficult issues and her lack of readiness for higher office.
