Great news. I grew up there. And I can already hear the whining of all the relatives!!
Thank God this vile man has finally been defeated.
In NY, nice.
This is freaking huge! This unholy Bishop seemed to be so well entrenched I thought that he’d be there till he croaked. Maybe we can pick up 20+ seats in the House.
My district. This is awesome!
I am so happy to have a NEW CONGRESSMAN! The detests Bishop will go down in history as the first Town Hall Obamacare ambush. What a delight to see Zeldin finally win one!
The East End gets a Congressman again, and the hedge funders lose one.
Congratulations, NY1 on your new Congressman. Sadly, I live 2 blocks away in NY3 and am stuck once again with the odious Steve Israel.
Regards,
PS: I’m still in awe that I have family in Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk (like me)...and we all have THE SAME GUY as our Congresscritter. Gerrymandering STINKS.
