Our community in Queens and on Long Island deserves a dignified leader like Tom Suozzi.
Tom Suozzi has spent more than 30 years serving our community. From Mayor of Glen Cove, to County Executive of Nassau County, to his work in Congress, Tom has fought tirelessly to improve the lives of our community in Queens and on Long Island.
New Yorkers are fed up with the fraud, chaos, and dysfunction of politicians like George Santos. But unfortunately, Republican candidate Mike LiPetri is simply more of the same: LiPetri was implicated alongside Santos in a sketchy financial scheme and was caught by Newsday for also inflating his resume. LiPetri is clearly Santos 2.0 and we cannot let him continue to embarrass our community.
Tom Suozzi is a problem solver who has proven he will work across the aisle to get things done. New York needs leaders like Tom who always put our families first.

What issues matter most to you?
The Economy
We need a leader who is committed to making life easier for New York families – instead of just trying to line his own pockets.
As life becomes increasingly more expensive here in New York, Tom is hard at work in Washington advocating to bring home more federal funds and make life easier for Long Island residents. Already, he successfully secured an almost 500% increase in funding for the Long Island Sound, and supported legislation that will lower the cost of insulin and other prescription drugs.
Tom has extensive experience turning around a challenging economy. According to the New York Times, as Mayor, he had “done more to revitalize [Glen Cove] and reinvigorate its flagging economy in a few short years than the last several mayors combined.” Not only that, Tom was named Governing Magazine’s “Public Official of the Year” and described as “the man who spearheaded Nassau County, New York’s remarkable turnaround from the brink of fiscal disaster.”
In contrast, Republican Mike LiPetri’s record is clear: Like his good friend George Santos, he only fights for himself. In the New York State legislature, he voted against providing critical funding to Long Island schools, LIRR improvements, and water infrastructure. Meanwhile, he’s been caught engaging in schemes to enrich himself while fully embracing far-right extremists who are determined to gut life-saving programs like Social Security and Medicare. And if they get their way, thousands of New Yorkers will pay the price.
The choice in this election is clear. We need responsible leaders who will look out for OUR best interests – not their own.
Crime & Public Safety
Tom takes crime and public safety seriously. As County Executive, Tom worked to significantly reduce Nassau County’s crime rate, resulting in the county being rated the safest community of over 500,000 people in the United States.
Tom has continued this impressive legacy in Congress, where he worked to pass major gun violence prevention bills – including the very popular legislation to expand gun background checks.
Unfortunately, Tom’s opponent, Republican Mike LiPetri, doesn’t care about public safety or gun violence. In the NY State Assembly, LiPetri voted against expanded background checks, against keeping dangerous people from having guns, and against prohibiting non-law enforcement school employees from bringing guns to school. And when he first ran for Congress in 2020, LiPetri boasted that he was “proudly” endorsed by the NRA.
When it comes to keeping our communities safe, the choice is simple: We must re-elect Tom Suozzi.
Reproductive Rights
When it comes to reproductive rights, Long Island has an important decision to make this year:
Tom Suozzi Believes Women Should Decide
Tom Suozzi believes that decisions over family planning should be made by women, their families, and their doctors — not politicians. As a fierce advocate for women’s rights, Tom has a 100% lifetime rating from Planned Parenthood and a 100% lifetime rating from Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America).
His Opponent Would Put Women’s Health At Risk
In the New York Assembly, LiPetri consistently backed an extreme anti-choice agenda, including voting against New York’s Reproductive Health Act, which codified Roe v. Wade here in New York. And now, he’s running for Congress on the same extreme, anti-choice New York Conservative Party platform that will put the lives of New York women at risk.
Immigration & Border Security
Only one candidate in this race is serious about securing the border: Tom Suozzi.
Tom Suozzi campaigned on securing the border, and from his first moment in Congress, he’s been one of the loudest advocates for bipartisan solutions to this crisis. Tom has presented various proposals for humane resolutions to our broken immigration system and is leading the fight to ensure security at the border.
Meanwhile, his opponent actively campaigned against the bipartisan immigration deal negotiated this year in the Senate – which was heralded as the toughest and most comprehensive action on border security in decades.
Instead of trying to score political points like his opponent, Tom is focused on finding real commonsense paths forward. We need to re-elect Tom Suozzi to Congress this November!
Climate Change
Tom understands that climate change is a critical threat to Long Island, and this issue requires bold solutions to mitigate its impacts.
This issue is near and dear to Tom: In Congress, he served as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Long Island Sound Caucus, where he successfully increased funding for the Long Island Sound Geographic Program by 1000% ($40 million in 2023). Additionally, he secured federal funding for projects that reduced stormwater runoff, promoted wind energy, and improved our water infrastructure.
Tom’s record speaks for itself: He’s been endorsed by some of the nation’s leading environmental groups, like the Sierra Club, New York’s League of Conservation Voters, and the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund.
Political Corruption
George Santos was an embarrassment to the community on Long Island. And sadly, the Republican candidate running for his former seat is simply more of the same.
Just when we thought we’d gotten rid of the fraudsters eager to take advantage of us, we get Republican candidate Mike LiPetri. LiPetri was implicated as a key component of a George Santos get-rich-quick scheme. He also was caught inflating his resume… much like his friend, George Santos.
New Yorkers are sick of the lies and the corruption. We need a responsible leader who will be accountable for their behavior. We need dignified leadership who will make us proud. Tom Suozzi is that leader.
