The confusing mayoral race in Long Island and Queens

In a mayoral race in Long Island and Queens, there is confusion around the candidates and their positions. Tom Swazie, a Democrat, is the mayor of Glen Cove and a former congressman, while Republican Mazzy Pilop is his opponent. Pilop, an Ethiopian Jew raised in Israel, has a mysterious background. Voters are uncertain about her political stance on issues like abortion and are skeptical about her commitment to funding for Israel and Ukraine. The race has received limited media coverage, particularly from local television networks, due to being in a large media market.
