Glen Cove, New York – Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) has issued the following statement on the expulsion of Congressman George Santos: 

“I am pleased to see that this pathetic chapter in American legislative history has finally come to an end. It has been grotesquely unfair for the people of the Third Congressional District to be represented by someone so morally and ethically bankrupt. I look forward to the near future when the national legislative interests of the people of northern Queens and Nassau County will once again be protected.”
