Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has been under fire since his election to Congress last month for lying about his background during his campaign. In response, two Democratic lawmakers have introduced the Stopping Another Non-Truthful Officer Seeker Act, or SANTOS Act, to punish congressional candidates who knowingly provide false information with a $100,000 fine or one year in prison. The bill is a reminder of the importance of truth in politics and the need for greater accountability, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to hold Santos accountable for his lies.
