On Monday, the League of Women Voters held a debate between our congressmen, Lee Zeldin, and the Democratic candidate, newcomer Dr. Nancy Goroff, who is a professor at Stony Brook University.
Mr. Zeldin mentioned that Suffolk County has a problem with dead relatives requesting absentee ballots. Since when do we have a countywide problem with dead relatives requesting absentee ballots?
Also, on Saturday, our congressman was riding in the midst of a Trump rally caravan through Setauket with his enormous campaign RV. When you call his office, the aides are rude, disrespectful and evasive.
Is this the type of representation we want for our community? A lying, self-serving, incompetent, unavailable person with no ethical boundaries? Zeldin is not serving his constituents, his county or his state. He is a shameful, disgraced and incompetent sycophant.
Time to vote him out!
