"Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi declines deputy mayor offer from Eric Adams"
"If Suozzi went to work for Adams, a special election would have had to have been held to replace him in Congress — potentially putting his seat at risk of going to a Republican."
"A Long Island congressman said Saturday he’s declining an offer to join Mayor-elect Eric Adams’ administration as a deputy mayor — while also fueling speculation that he plans to make a run for governor."
"Suozzi, a member of the House’s powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, is also trained as a lawyer and certified public accountant."

Suozzi was preceded by Steve Israel. Any relation to Scott Israel? Both were "raised on Long Island", Scott being the older of the two.
