Rep. Anthony D’Esposito
A Long Islander who holds the bluest seat of any Republican, D’Esposito was the first of Santos’ colleagues to call for his resignation. D’Esposito joined a group of Republican Party officials from Nassau County, a major chunk of both his and Santos’ districts, calling for Santos’ resignation. “He’s disgraced the House of Representatives and we do not consider him one of our congresspeople,” the group said.
