George Santos stepped onto the House floor as arguably the most high-profile freshman congressman this year. Shortly before taking office, a bombshell New York Times report detailed a number of discrepancies with Santos' education, previous places of employment, and his campaign's financial disclosures. Santos told Ashford that despite the tumult leading up to his election, he would still go through the experience again but would exercise caution with some of the aides and consultants whom he feels have wronged him. He remains unable to serve on any House committees but told Ashford that he loves representing his constituents.
