Newly sworn-in Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi, after a brief hiatus from politics prompted by George Santos' departure, has announced his return to Washington with a robust agenda aimed at bridging the partisan divide and ending dysfunction within Congress. Suozzi expressed his intentions to try to get back into the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group where he previously served as vice chair during the 117th Congress. In discussions with media outlets, Suozzi outlined his legislative priorities, which include opposing motions that unfairly target colleagues for principled stands, as demonstrated by his stance against a motion to vacate targeting Mike Johnson. For the current congressional cycle, Suozzi will not serve on the Ways and Means Committee but rather on the Homeland Security Committee, a strategic position from which he plans to actively engage in the immigration debate.
