Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) announced on Monday that he’s running for reelection, despite facing multiple ongoing investigations, questions over his background, and repeated calls to resign.

“As a first-generation American, I am no stranger to the issues affecting my district. I grew up poor with a single mom, and thanks to the American dream, a poor boy of immigrant parents in Queens can grow up to serve his community in the halls of Congress,” Santos said in a statement.
