Our Mission
Virginia Economic Opportunity PAC (VEOPAC) aims to champion economic opportunity for all.
We speak for everyday Virginians to amplify voices and economic causes working toward inclusive prosperity.
Crime & Public Safety
Tom takes crime and public safety seriously. As County Executive, Tom worked to significantly reduce Nassau County’s crime rate, resulting in the county being rated the safest community of over 500,000 people in the United States.
Tom has continued this impressive legacy in Congress, where he worked to pass major gun violence prevention bills – including the very popular legislation to expand gun background checks.
Unfortunately, Tom’s opponent, Republican Mike LiPetri, doesn’t care about public safety or gun violence. In the NY State Assembly, LiPetri voted against expanded background checks, against keeping dangerous people from having guns, and against prohibiting non-law enforcement school employees from bringing guns to school. And when he first ran for Congress in 2020, LiPetri boasted that he was “proudly” endorsed by the NRA.
When it comes to keeping our communities safe, the choice is simple: We must re-elect Tom Suozzi.
Reproductive Rights
When it comes to reproductive rights, Long Island has an important decision to make this year:
Tom Suozzi Believes Women Should Decide
Tom Suozzi believes that decisions over family planning should be made by women, their families, and their doctors — not politicians. As a fierce advocate for women’s rights, Tom has a 100% lifetime rating from Planned Parenthood and a 100% lifetime rating from Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America).
His Opponent Would Put Women’s Health At Risk
In the New York Assembly, LiPetri consistently backed an extreme anti-choice agenda, including voting against New York’s Reproductive Health Act, which codified Roe v. Wade here in New York. And now, he’s running for Congress on the same extreme, anti-choice New York Conservative Party platform that will put the lives of New York women at risk.
Immigration & Border Security
Only one candidate in this race is serious about securing the border: Tom Suozzi.
Tom Suozzi campaigned on securing the border, and from his first moment in Congress, he’s been one of the loudest advocates for bipartisan solutions to this crisis. Tom has presented various proposals for humane resolutions to our broken immigration system and is leading the fight to ensure security at the border.
Meanwhile, his opponent actively campaigned against the bipartisan immigration deal negotiated this year in the Senate – which was heralded as the toughest and most comprehensive action on border security in decades.
Instead of trying to score political points like his opponent, Tom is focused on finding real commonsense paths forward. We need to re-elect Tom Suozzi to Congress this November!
Climate Change
Tom understands that climate change is a critical threat to Long Island, and this issue requires bold solutions to mitigate its impacts.
This issue is near and dear to Tom: In Congress, he served as Co-Chair of the bipartisan Long Island Sound Caucus, where he successfully increased funding for the Long Island Sound Geographic Program by 1000% ($40 million in 2023). Additionally, he secured federal funding for projects that reduced stormwater runoff, promoted wind energy, and improved our water infrastructure.
Tom’s record speaks for itself: He’s been endorsed by some of the nation’s leading environmental groups, like the Sierra Club, New York’s League of Conservation Voters, and the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund.
Political Corruption
George Santos was an embarrassment to the community on Long Island. And sadly, the Republican candidate running for his former seat is simply more of the same.
Just when we thought we’d gotten rid of the fraudsters eager to take advantage of us, we get Republican candidate Mike LiPetri. LiPetri was implicated as a key component of a George Santos get-rich-quick scheme. He also was caught inflating his resume… much like his friend, George Santos.
New Yorkers are sick of the lies and the corruption. We need a responsible leader who will be accountable for their behavior. We need dignified leadership who will make us proud. Tom Suozzi is that leader.
