ICYMI: Mazi Pilip Interview with Jewish Insider

Mazi Pilip is criss-crossing her district and speaking in numerousinterviews with media outlets. This morning, Jewish Insider released their interview with her discussing her policy positions. In case you missed it:

Israel: “Israel is a big deal for me, and I want to make sure, here in the United States, that we understand what Israel is about and how important it is to continue to support Israel,” Pilip, who said that some of her family members are now fighting in the war, told JI. “Israel is our true ally, a democratic country that shares our values. Nobody can tell this story more than me. Even if you are here and supporting Israel, nobody can be me. You cannot argue with that.”

Abortion: “Abortion is a very personal decision, OK?,” Pilip told JI. “Now, I am a religious person, I have seven children, so I am pro-life. However, I’m not going to push my own beliefs on any woman. Therefore, I’m not going to support a national abortion ban.”

George Santos: “There is no relationship with Santos, OK?,” Pilip said, stressing that she had been one of the first Republican officials on Long Island to call on him to resign, even as she acknowledged that she had campaigned with him before she became aware of his deceptions. “He lied to us. Everything he said was a lie.”

The American Dream: “When I think about this race, I just remember the little girl in Ethiopia,” she said. “If somebody told me, ‘One day, you will go to the United States of America and you, Mazi Melesa Pilip, will run for Congress,’ I would think that person had definitely lost his mind. But that is the beautiful thing about America.”
