Democrats have launched a $1.25 million TV ad campaign for the special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District, targeting Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip by invoking the controversy of George Santos.

This move comes as Democrats aim to regain influence on Long Island, addressing concerns despite their financial lead, with $7.2 million spent by the House Majority PAC.
