Suozzi names Jon Kaiman chief of staff, Matt Gelman deputy chief

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi announced two senior hires for his congressional staff, naming veteran Long Island public official Jon Kaiman as chief of staff and Capitol Hill veteran Matt Gelman as deputy chief of staff.

Suozzi, a Democrat representing parts of Long Island and Queens, said the additions bring extensive government and legislative experience to his team at a time of heightened political division in Washington.
