REPORT: Suozzi Pushed for the “Biggest Single Tax Hike in Nassau History.”
A bombshell report exposes Two-Faced Tom Suozzi’s record of fighting for numerous tax hikes as a Congressman, Mayor, and Nassau County Executive, including the “biggest single tax hike in Nassau history.”
Over the course of his career, Suozzi has voted repeatedly against quadrupling the SALT cap, pushed for a jaw-dropping 19.4% property tax increase, and implemented a home energy tax that was so strongly opposed by his constituents that the County legislature was forced to repeal it just months later.
And while Suozzi’s been voting for tax hikes in Congress, he’s been lining his pockets trading stocks…

Swing-Seat Democrat Haunted By Tax Record As GOP Eyes Pickup Opportunity

Democratic New York Rep. Tom Suozzi has denied having a record of raising taxes, despite backing major local tax hikes as Nassau County executive and repeatedly opposing Republican-backed federal tax-cut legislation in Congress.
[…]
In a recent interaction, Suozzi was asked why he voted to “raise taxes on constituents 12 times, according to some sources,” according to a video obtained by the Daily Caller. The congressman responded that those sources are “completely wrong.”
New York ranks last in state tax competitiveness, meaning an expanded SALT deduction cap would provide significant tax relief for many homeowners in the state, according to the Tax Foundation’s index.

The typical Nassau County homeowner impacted by the expanded SALT cap would have saved an estimated $7,200 under the expanded deduction — the largest projected benefit among the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas, Redfin News reported.
In 2017, Suozzi voted twice against the $1.5 trillion Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced federal income taxes for many Americans while capping the SALT deduction at $10,000. The following year, he also voted against the Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018, which would have made those tax cuts permanent.
His record on taxes also drew attention during his time in local government. After being elected Nassau County Executive in 2001, Suozzi backed a 15% property tax increase that was described as the “biggest single tax hike in Nassau history,” according to a New York Times (NYT) report.
The following year, his proposed 2003 budget included what contemporaneous reports described as “a painful array of tax hikes and program cuts,” including a 19.4% property tax increase.

His record on tax increases continued into 2009, when he proposed and implemented a 2.5% energy tax on electricity, natural gas, home heating oil, propane, and firewood, the Long Island Herald reported.

Suozzi’s personal finances and stock trading activity while serving in Congress have also reportedly drawn scrutiny. Suozzi’s stock portfolio posted one of the stronger performances among Democratic members of Congress in 2025, increasing by approximately $2.5 million and reaching an estimated value of $9.5 million, the New York Post reported, citing Quiver Quantitative.
The gains reportedly outpaced those of other high-profile congressional investors, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Suozzi’s investment activity has also been examined in connection with alleged STOCK Act disclosure issues, including a reported instance involving a $50,000 stock sale, according to a Fortune report.
Since entering Congress, he has reportedly had multiple STOCK Act-related disclosure filings flagged, including one in 2024, according to a Newsday report.

When asked about Suozzi’s recent comments and record, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole told the Caller, “Two-Faced Tom Suozzi is supposed to be fighting to make Long Islanders’ lives better. What has he done instead? Fought to raise their tax and siphon away more of their hard-earned money twelve times. Meanwhile, he gets richer. He’s a self-serving hack, and his time in Congress is up.”
