The House, which Republicans control by a narrow 221-213 majority, is expected to vote on the expulsion effort when it returns from a two-week recess.
Santos' district, which includes a small slice of New York City and some of its eastern suburbs, is seen as competitive.
Last time, 182 Republicans voted against expulsion as they need Santos' seat to protect their narrow House majority.
"George has betrayed the trust of his constituents who deserve honesty and transparency from their elected official."
