WASHINGTON — Long Island is home to two of the nation’s most liberal-voting Republicans in the U.S. House, joined by a third suburban New York City lawmaker, an analysis of the past year’s congressional votes shows.
Reps. Andrew Garbarino (R-Bayport) and Nick LaLota (R-Amityville) rank fifth and seventh respectively among 220 House GOP members in terms of the most liberal- or moderate-voting patterns, with colleague Mike Lawler (R-Pearl River) the third-highest ranked. (Newsday)
