George Santos

George Anthony Devolder Santos (; born July 22, 1988) is an American politician. He is the U.S. representative from New York's 3rd congressional district since 2023. He is a member of the Republican Party.
After his election, many news articles found that Santos had made many false claims about his personal life, health, religion, taxes, education and career. These claims have caused the Brazilian government to investigate Santos for fraud. In 2008, he confessed to check fraud charges in Brazil, but did not appear in court, leaving the case unresolved.
After unsuccessfully running for Congress in 2020 against incumbent Thomas Suozzi, Santos was elected to the open seat in 2022.
Santos is openly gay.
