PriyaPatelTLDR: Mazi Pilip, the Republican candidate running in New York’s Third District, submitted an amended financial disclosure form after questions were raised about her initial filing. The initial report appeared to be missing important information, including whether the assets were owned solely by herself or her husband. Pilip also reported receiving a $50,000 salary from her family medical practice in 2022 and 2023, despite saying she stopped working there in 2021. After inquiries from The New York Times, Pilip materially amended the statement, disclosing previously unreported investments and liabilities, as well as revising her earned income. Pilip’s campaign attributed the initial omissions to innocent mistakes. Ethics experts said the changes warranted further study.
The Democratic opponent, Tom Suozzi, filed his own financial report showing more than $600,000 in income in 2023 as a consultant and board member, as well as assets worth between $4.2 million and $6.3 million. Unlike Suozzi, Pilip is relatively unknown in the swing district and most of her wealth comes from her husband’s medical ventures. Copies of 2022 and 2023 financial disclosure forms submitted to the Nassau County Board of Ethics provided some information that did not match Pilip’s federal disclosure. The forms show investments and liabilities that were not included in the congressional report.
