NY-02: Pat Halpin (D) announces challenge to Garbarino (R) in house race
Former Suffolk County Executive Pat Halpin is jumping into the race for New York’s 2nd Congressional District.
Running as a Democrat, Halpin is aiming to unseat Republican Andrew Garbarino, who first won the district in 2020.
“I’ll be your go-to congressman, no matter if you’re a Democrat, Republican, independent, short, tall, young or old,” said Halpin. “You got a problem; I’ll work to find a solution.”
The 2nd Congressional District spans much of the South Shore in Suffolk County and Levittown, North Wantagh, Seaford, South Farmingdale and Massapequa in Nassau County. It has been represented by a Republican since 2013.
