Rep. George Santos announces he will run for re-election
Despite multiple investigations into his various lies and misrepresentations, New York Congressman George Santos announced Monday that he will seek re-election to Congress in 2024.
LONG ISLAND - Embattled Long Island Congressman George Santos has officially announced that he will seek re-election in 2024.
Santos, a Republican currently representing New York's 3rd District, has been accused of lying about large swaths of his background and accomplishments.
But, on Monday afternoon, he announced that he would look to win office again in 2024, despite the scandals and investigations currently dogging him.

"I am proudly announcing my bid for re-election for #NY03," Santos tweeded. "This is about TAKING BACK our country and restoring greatness back to New York."
Santos is facing several investigations, including one by the House Ethics Committee.
Santos has previously indicated that he would not seek re-election but filed paperwork for re-election last month.
Santos is likely facing an uphill battle to be re-elected, as the Nassau County Republican Party has announced that they will not support his candidacy.
"The Nassau County Republican Committee is focused on the future, and George Santos has no place in upcoming Nassau GOP campaigns," Nassau County Republican Committee Chairman Joseph G. Cairo, Jr. said in a statement. "We will not nominate George Santos for re-election to Congress or for any other office. The serial liar has disgraced the House of Representatives and has deceived the public. His actions and comments have been designed to mislead the public about his background, qualifications and virtually every other facet of his public persona."
