Mazi Melesa Pilip, 44, has been chosen by the Republican Party to run for the House seat vacated by ousted ex-Rep. George Santos. She has a most interesting resume. Mazi Melesa Pilip is a two-term member of the Nassau County Legislature.
She was born in a poor village in Ethiopia. She left for Israel at age 12 as a refugee among 14,000 black Jews living under an oppressive dictatorship. And at 18 she signed up as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces. She married a fellow Jewish student, studied at the Tel Aviv University and received a Master’s Degree. His family migrated from the Ukraine. And in 2005 they both came to the United States. Her husband became a cardiologist.
As a fellow Republican I found her to be quite impressive and to be a defender of Israel and the Ukraine and is a candidate I would be proud to support for the House of Representatives. I believe she can be a valuable asset to the Queens and Nassau residents who need someone like her who is not a liar and who wants to serve the interests of those who will vote for her. As reported she sure is an American Dream.
