The North Shore Leader is a weekly newspaper that serves the North Shore area of Long Island, New York. [1] As of 2022, The Leader has a circulation of around 20,000 people. [1]

In late 2022, questions about American politician George Santos' finances emerged in September 2022 in The North Shore Leader [3] with no other news outlet reporting on the story before the election. [2] In the October 20, 2022, edition of the newspaper listing political endorsements, it said, "This newspaper would like to endorse a Republican for US Congress in NY3 (Oyster Bay, N Hempstead, NE Queens). But the GOP nominee – George Santos – is so bizarre, unprincipled and sketchy that we cannot." [4] The paper's publisher himself ran as a Republican for the same seat in previous years, and their coverage was inspired by tips from those active in local business and party politics. [2]
On December 19, 2022, The New York Times published an exposé related to the issues around Santos, leading to a followup piece for the Leader titled, "The Leader Told You So: US Rep-Elect George Santos is a Fraud – and Wanted Criminal." [5]
In December 2022, it was named as a recipient of an Americana Award from Semafor for, "The Cassandra prize for best unheeded warning" and its reporting on Santos. [6]
On January 5, 2023, publisher Grant Lally gave an interview to WNYC public radio described more details on Santos. "He took one local political leader on a 5 or 6 hour odyssey, across the North Shore of Long Island pointing out lavish homes and claiming he owned them... It was lie on lie on lie on lie." [7]
In a January 9 television interview with PBS NewsHour he spoke of the reaction of other publishers of small newspapers: ". . . they're very cheered by this development that we were able to break this story. And it is now a national story, unfortunately, but it is a national story. And we broke it. And it has reenergized a lot of the local newsrooms here in New York, but, also, I think, global — around the U.S." [8]

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan were held on November 8, 2022, to elect representatives for the thirteen seats in Michigan. The deadline for candidates to file for the August 2 primary was April 19. The congressional make up prior to the election was seven Democrats and seven Republicans. But after the 2020 Census, Michigan lost one congressional seat. Democrats won a majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. This can be partly attributed to the decrease in the number of districts, which resulted in two Republican incumbents – Bill Huizenga and Fred Upton – in the new 4th district. Redistricting also played a part in shifting partisan lean of the districts which favored the Democrats overall, including in the 3rd district, which Democrats were able to flip with a margin of victory of 13 points. That was made possible by a non-partisan citizens commission drawing the new political boundaries instead of the Michigan legislature after a 2018 ballot proposal was approved.

a tiny publication on Long Island […] The North Shore Leader wrote in September, when few others were covering Santos, about his "inexplicable rise" in reported net worth — from essentially nothing in 2020 to as much as $11 million two years later. […] no one followed its story before Election Day.
