The New York Post reports:
Two openly gay pols are vying for a congressional seat in Long Island in a historic first for the United States.
Robert Zimmerman, 68, a communications executive, and George Santos, 34, a Wall Street investor, are facing off in New York’s third district covering Oyster Bay, Glen Cove, North Hempstead and a slice of northeastern Queens.
“It’s a landmark. It’s an absolute landmark,” said Ken Sherrill, a Hunter College political scientist and former Democratic district leader who was New York’s first openly gay elected official.

The seat, which is currently pegged as “lean Democrat,” became open when Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi made his ill-fated bid for governor.
Santos, who was the GOP nominee for the same seat in 2020, appeared on JMG in January 2021 when he claimed that his pharmacist fiance had been fired after the couple attended a maskless Mar-A-Lago gala.

My fiancé & I had to leave our home this evening with our 4 dogs thanks to the @nytimes publishing of my Instagram showing me attending the #MarALago New Year’s Eve party. My fiancé a pharmacist who worked 12h/7days shifts for 9 months was fired! The violence against us is real.

What an honor it was to spend New Year’s Eve at #MarALago with the Trump family. @realDonaldTrump was dearly missed, but he was there in spirit. #HappyNewYear2021 #patriots #USA #AmericaFirst #Bye2020 pic.twitter.com/djsg9XQuLX
