Brave the Storm To Vote for Pilip

As voters head to the special election for New York’s 3rd Congressional District, remember: A vote for Mazi Pilip isa vote for sanity.

The GOP aspirant to George Santos’ old seat is running neck and neck with its former holder, Democrat Tom Suozzi. She closed out last week with a major array of endorsement from key unions — including three big NYPD outfits and the Border Patrol agents’ union.

No wonder: Pilip wants a secure, humane border — not the wave-them-in catastrophe currently towns in Texas, Arizona and elsewhere, slamming cities as far away as New York and undermining our national security. She’s also tough on crime, calling out nonsense like Gotham’s obscene How Many Stops Act. And she understands that American interests lie with supporting Israel, not with the bloody-handed killers of Hamas.

Pilip also has an amazing, quintessentially American backstory: Born into poverty in Ethiopia, she emigrated to Israel, served in a paratrooper unit there and is now fighting the good fight here.

Suozzi often says the right things — but in Congress he voted with President Biden 100% of the time. He failed to attack Biden’s border policies as they created disaster. He helped ram through Biden’s trillions in new spending, driving inflation skyward.

He even once boasted of wanting to be an honorary member of the infamous Squad (and scored an apparent membership from socialist demagogue AOC).

If he wins, history suggests he’ll loyally back every wacked-out plan Democrats want to ram through. That’s literally the last thing this country needs.

So: Brave the storm, vote Pilip — and get America back on track.
