Republicans Back Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip for Feb. 13th Special Election

Dec 20, 2023

Great Neck-area County Legis. Pilip securing the Republican nod surprised many, but not your LIBOR Govt. Affairs team. “The race in the district straddling Nassau County and Queens is considered a Toss-Up, one crucial in determining which party controls the House in 2025. Pilip, a newly reelected Nassau County legislator… served in the Israeli Defense Forces as an Ethiopian-born Jew who fled to Israel as a child,” reported Politico. Pilip launched her campaign with a Republican rally in Massapequa, countering Democratic candidate and former U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi’s event in Levittown. The special election scheduled for Tuesday, February 13th, 2024 is expected to be one of the most expensive in American political history.
