NY-03: George Santos files paperwork for 2024 reelection

[RandySF]

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) filed paperwork for a 2024 reelection bid on Tuesday, an indication the embattled congressman may seek another term in the House.

Filing the statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) does not, however, guarantee that Santos will go through with the bid. Since winning his election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District in November, the congressman has drawn intense scrutiny amid revelations he embellished parts of his resume, and questions regarding his finances.

The FEC sent a letter to Santos last month asking if he planned to run for reelection next year after his campaign reported nearly $28,000 in contributions and almost $43,000 in expenses during the time period following the November election. According to federal law, potential candidates must declare their candidacy to the FEC if they receive or spend upwards of $5,000 for an election.

The agency asked that he respond by March 14 — the same day Santos filed his 2024 paperwork.

1. If George Santos is allowed to remain in office for two years

every one of the taxpayers in this country will be on the hook for this guys medical care and pension FOR LIFE.

Every con artist in the country will be stampeding for office. Oh... that's right they already are.

2. He gets no pension or free medical care.

"Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service. The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary. By law, the starting amount of a member's retirement annuity may not exceed 80 percent of his or her final salary."

As for health care benefits, Members of Congress get their health care through the Affordable Care Act exchanges while in office. Once they retire, they can go through the federal employee health plan -- but would still pay a percentage of the premiums.

5. Not if he loses as he hadn't served long enough.

The liar's scheme for life time healthcare and a pension won't work.

There will be several repug primary candidates rushing to get this idioit out of Congress. And we Dems should be favored to take the general election.
