Well … I just learned that the ‘Republican’ Mazi Pilip, who ran as a Republican for the position left by disgraced Republican, Santos, is in reality a registered Democrat and she lost an election to a registered Democrat that was running as a Democrat. How do you process that …
And my ignorant ass was rooting for her to win … now I’m glad that the other Democrat won. SMDH.
Public records show Pilip has been enrolled as a Democrat since 2012.
Pilip currently holds office as a Republican and ran on the GOP ticket for the Nassau County legislator in 2021 and 2023.
Both Pilip and Joe Cairo, the county’s GOP chair, did not respond to numerous requests for comment, including through allies. But the Nassau County Board of Elections’ spokesperson called Playbook on Pilip’s behalf and confirmed she is an enrolled Democrat.
