Former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) has officially kicked off his campaign for the Feb. 13 special election to replace George Santos in New York’s third congressional district.
At a press conference held in Levittown, Suozzi touted his record as a moderate Democrat, reaching across party lines throughout his political career.
“The American Dream is a very simple idea,” Suozzi said. “It’s not complicated, it’s not some mythical thing. The American Dream is ‘I’ll work hard.’ And I don’t care whether you’re a liberal, you’re a conservative, whatever you are. Everybody believes it should be true. Too many people in my district, here on Long Island and too many people in northeast Queens are concerned that the American dream is not real for them. They’re willing to work hard, and they’re still concerned they can’t make it.”
