Statement from Chairman Jay S. Jacobs on George Santos Expulsion

"With today’s House vote to finally expel George Santos from its body, this ends a sorry chapter in the history of our county and our country. His loss is a huge win for decency, honesty, and the rule of law. In close consultation with Governor Kathy Hochul and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Queens Democratic Chair Gregory Meeks, and I will be working expeditiously to nominate the most qualified candidate with the best chance of success in the upcoming Special Election to fill the 3rd Congressional seat."
