While George Santos has made it known that he does not intend to step down from Congress despite the controversy surrounding him, Great Neck resident Jody Finkel launched a change.org petition calling for his resignation that has garnered nearly 1,000 signatures.
Created approximately two weeks before Santos was scheduled to take office, the petition set a goal of 1,000 signatures from residents of New York’s Third Congressional District. As of the early afternoon of Jan. 5, there have been 973 people who signed it. If and when it reaches its goal, the petition will be more likely to be featured on change.org’s recommended page, which would allow for the opportunity to gather even more signatures.
