Democratic party officials in New York will hold a meeting tonight with at least three potential candidates to replace former GOP Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House Friday.
Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., chairman of the Queens Democratic Party, plans to attend, said Jacobs.
County leaders from each party select and internally vote for candidates that will participate in the the special election, according to New York election law.
The Queens Democratic Party and a spokeswoman for Meeks did not return emails seeking comment.
Suozzi has been in touch with Jacobs before Santos was expelled, pitching himself as that potential selected candidate for a special election contest.
