U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi declared victory in his run for re-election to a sixth term representing New York’s 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican challenger Mike LiPetri in a closely watched race that drew attention to affordability, Social Security, public safety and the future of Long Island.

LiPetri, a Republican from Farmingdale and former one-term state Assembly member, has not conceded the race. Suozzi, a Democrat from Glen Cove, represents a district spanning northeastern Queens, the North Shore of Nassau County and parts of the Town of Huntington.
