Don’t forget he lost Nassau county in the primary,” Santos added, referencing the chair of the state Democratic Party. “The Democratic Party is a pro-choice party, and unlike Tom Suozzi, I will always stand up for a woman's right to choose — period,” Kaplan said in her statement, alluding to how Suozzi, a practicing Catholic, unveiled a program in 2006 thatIn 2022, Suozzi ran an unsuccessful primary challenge against Gov.
