NY-03: For Nassau County Leg. Josh Lafazan, Lying Millennial George Santos in Congress is Personal
Since the New York Times’ bombshell Dec. 19, 2022 article exposed Rep. George Santos (R-Nassau/Queens) as a liar, Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan (I-Woodbury) has held 17 rallies and news conferences, many of them outside the congressman’s Douglaston, Queens office, calling on Santos to resign.
That’s more than one rally per week, meaning that – at least to the public eye – Lafazan is putting more time and energy into getting Santos out of office than any other elected official.
“No matter how long it takes, no matter where we have to go, I will not stop until George Santos is gone,” Lafazan told the Press in an interview.
“Of course I’m so personally offended as a lawmaker for 11 years that this person demeans Long Island and the House of Representatives,” he added. “But what it comes down to is my constituents have been calling my phone every single day outraged. It’s not only personal but it’s my responsibility as a lawmaker.”
Lafazan has worked with a diverse group of his Long Island constituents who agree that Santos needs to go. The 29-year-old county lawmaker, whose legislative district falls within 34-year-old Santos’ congressional district NY-03, last year ran a primary race for Democratic candidacy for the seat and lost to Robert Zimmerman, who went on to lose to Santos in November 2022.
