Mazi Melesa Pilip and Tom Suozzi made their closing cases to Long Island and Queens voters Monday, on the eve of their ultracompetitive special House election for the seat vacated by George Santos. “He’s a talker — excellent talker; he’s really good on that — I am a person of action,” Pilip told the station, referring to Suozzi, a former three-term congressman. Suozzi, a 61-year-old centrist and Long Island lifer, gave up his seat representing the district to stage a doomed run for governor in 2022.
