Mazi Melesa Pilip, a former soldier in Israel’s vaunted Israel Defense Forces and now a Nassau County legislator, is preparing for the biggest battle of her political life in her race against former Rep. Tom Suozzi to represent New York’s 3rd Congressional District, on the North Shore of Long Island.
Pilip, 44, of Great Neck, has been sparing in her dealings with the press so far, but she spoke earlier this week to the Press, and launched a broadside attack against Suozzi, 61, of Glen Cove, who served three terms in Congress until leaving his seat in 2022 in an unsuccessful bid to run for governor.
