“I will do everything I can to help my friend Mayor-elect @ericadamsfornyc & the people of NYC succeed,” Rep. Tom Suozzi tweeted.
“After discussing it with my family, I believe the best way for me to help him and NYC is in elected office. I will announce my plans for the future in the coming days. [Thank you] Eric!”…

Suozzi, a former Nassau County executive and ex-mayor of Glen Cove, has said he plans to announce whether he’ll run in the 2022 Democratic gubernatorial primary by the end of the month.
