ALBANY, NEW YORK – Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) has issued the following statement on Congressman-Elect George Santos: 

“I am deeply troubled by the bizarre allegations surrounding our Congressman-Elect George Santos.It is grotesquely unfair for the people of the Third Congressional District to be represented by anyone who has fabricated and concocted significant aspects of his life.I welcome the investigation announced by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.I urge the leadership of the soon to be sworn House of Representatives to take the steps necessary to protect the national legislative interests of the people of northern Queens and Nassau County.”
