There should be removal of any and all that accepted monies from Russian oligarchs. It is a threat to national security. It is an automatic ethics referral at the very least. The State Attorney Generals might have to be involved.

The rep, who defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman (click here) by almost 22,000 votes in the race to represent the Nassau County- and Queens-based Third District, has a history of blaming his misstatements on listeners’ ears.
When criticized for claiming Jewish heritage by referencing his grandparents’ purported escape from the Nazis during World War II — for which genealogical records show no evidence — Santos took a similar tack....
..“I was elected by 142,000 people — until those same 142,000 people tell me they don’t want me … we’ll find out in two years,” he said...
New York had a bill to recall elected officials, but, it may not apply to statewide federal seats or House district seats. The guy is a problem. He is affiliated with Russia. He will bring problems to the USA legislature. Those Russians helped elect him and he has divided loyalties.
Zimmerman (click here) received a bachelor's degree from Brandeis University and a master's in business administration for Fordham University. In 1988, Zimmerman co-founded a marketing communications company. He served on the John F. Kennedy Center's Presidential Commission on the Arts and the National Council on the Humanities, nominated by Presidents Bill Clinton (D) and Barack Obama (D), respectively. As of 2022, Zimmerman was a Democratic National Committee member.
Zimmerman sounds like a New York Congressman, not this sleaze bag. Zimmerman lost by 12,000 votes, now 142,000.
There needs to be an investigation. New York State federal elections did not turn out as expected. It is why the US House turned red. Something isn't right. I stinks as a matter of fact.

When Republicans take control of the U.S. House (click here) next month, they'll have voters in New York to thank for roughly a third of their national gains.
In the midterm elections, one of the bluest states in the country saw a relative red wave that led to a net gain of three seats, helping give the GOP its razor-thin majority.
But many of these Republican victories were by narrow margins and came in moderate suburban districts on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley.
And the centrist candidates who won have signaled they have little interest in the partisan clashes favored by the GOP's far-right MAGA wing....
One other thing, Michigan is showing up as a concern at the county level. The county authorities supervise voting in the state and that is true of any state. My understanding is that this is a countrywide phenomena. Someone is not paying attention to the decision makers where voting will be most threatened.

Last November, Michigan Democrats (click here) scored huge victories as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer easily won reelection and her party took control of the Senate and House.
But while Whitmer and fellow Democrats scored big in state-level races, that didn’t happen at the county level, where local politicians still redraw political boundaries.
Of the 619 county commissioners elected in Michigan last year, 444 (72 percent) were Republicans — an increase of five from 2020, according to a Bridge Michigan analysis of county commissioner lists compiled by the Michigan Association of Counties....
