How involved was Carolyn McCarthy in the 2022 NY-3rd and NY-4th CD US House Elections?

The reason why I am bringing up Carolyn McCarthy is that McCarthy got elected to the US House from NY-4th CD(SW Nassau County) in 1996 by unseating a Republican incumbent US House member Dan Frisa who voted against the ban on assault weapons. Back then McCarthy was a nurse from Mineola whose husband and son were victims of the 1993 LIRR massacre.
McCarthy served in the US House for 18 years. During McCarthy’s tenure, She was a very popular. McCarthy would have help the Democratic nominee in NY-4. NY-3 would have made a difference had the Long Island Press(Newsday/NY Times) disclosed information about their investigation of George Santos.
The Republicans won NY-3 and NY-4 by reminding voters that they are tough on crime. Democrats need to remind voters that perjury(Lying) is a crime and not supporting a ban on assault weapons or a background check on individuals who want to buy guns does not make you tough on crime.

Carolyn McCarthy’s son Kevin McCarthy survived while her husband Dennis McCarthy did not.
