As heard on the national newscasts, Republican congressional candidate Mazi Pillip lost last night , to Democrat Tom Souzzi in the race for the Santos House seat in Long Island and Queens. Steuben County GOP Chairman Joe Sempolinski says, the big problem with her campaign was, her handlers, would not let Mazi be herself. “She was very protected,” said Steuben County Republican Chair and former Republican Congressman Joe Sempolinski. “They were holding press conferences where they had other members of congress standing next to her, also taking questions. She didn’t do a lot of interviews either. It seems like whoever was making the stategic decisions, was very afraid of putting her out there and having her take definitive stances, and I was a little surprised by that,” Sempolinski said.
