Nicole Malliotakis 1Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis was sworn in on January 3, 2021 to represent Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn.

Prior to serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis was elected to the New York State Assembly on November 2, 2010, defeating a two-term incumbent. In the Assembly, she served as Minority Whip and the ranking minority member of the Assembly Committee on Governmental Employees. For five terms, Congresswoman Malliotakis fought to restore ethics in Albany, expand transit service in her district, improve programs for senior citizens, reform education and improve New York’s economic climate by reducing the tax burden on small businesses and residents.  A cornerstone of her tenure was helping her community recover and rebuild following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

In addition to advocating for these same issues in Washington, Congresswoman Malliotakis is acutely focused on securing New York’s fair share of federal mass transit funding, which would go towards expanding transportation services and easing traffic congestion, while also championing public safety by supporting our nation’s law enforcement officers.

Congresswoman Malliotakis is the daughter of immigrants, her father from Greece and her mother a Cuban exile of the Castro dictatorship. She is currently the only Republican member representing New York City in Congress, representing a district spanning the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island. She is a passionate advocate for animal rights and the strengthening of animal cruelty laws, and in her spare time, enjoys spending time with her chihuahua, Peanut.

District

Source: Wikipedia

New York’s 11th congressional district is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in New York City. The 11th district includes all of Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights, south western Gravesend, western Sheepshead Bay, and parts of southern Bensonhurst. The 11th district is currently represented by Republican Nicole Malliotakis, who is currently the only Republican representing any part of New York City in Congress. Malliotakis was first elected in 2020, defeating one-term incumbent Democrat Max Rose.

The district’s character is very different from the rest of New York City. It is the only district in the city which leans towards the Republican Party in national elections, and the only one carried by Donald Trump in 2020, who won it with 55 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Joe Biden’s 44 percent.

Wikipedia

Nicole Malliotakis (/ˌmæliəˈtɔːkɪs/ MAL-ee-ə-TAW-kiss; born November 11, 1980) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for New York’s 11th congressional district since 2021. Her constituency covers Staten Island and southern Brooklyn.

Malliotakis is the only Republican representing any part of New York City in Congress, and is one of five female Republican elected officials in New York City, with the other four serving on the New York City Council. In 2020, she defeated incumbent Representative Max Rose. She was the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City in the 2017 election, which she lost to incumbent Democrat Bill de Blasio.

Early life and education

Malliotakis was born on November 11, 1980, in the Manhattan borough of New York City.[1][2] She moved to Staten Island when she was two years old and grew up in Great Kills,[3] the daughter of immigrant parents; her father is from Greece and her mother from Cuba, having left in 1959 following the rise of Fidel Castro.[1] She was raised in the Greek Orthodox faith.[4]

Malliotakis attended New Dorp High School on Staten Island, and during her senior year was elected class president.[5] She received a B.A. in communications from Seton Hall University and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Wagner College.[6]

Early political career

Malliotakis worked as a community liaison for former State Senator John Marchi in 2003–04 and former Governor George Pataki in 2004–06. Before her election, she also worked on state energy policy as the Consolidated Edison Company of New York‘s public affairs manager.[6]

In November 2015, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida named Malliotakis the New York State chair of his 2016 presidential campaign.[7]

New York State Assembly

Malliotakis in 2012

In 2010, Malliotakis won the election to represent the 60th District in the New York State Assembly, defeating two-term Democratic incumbent Janele Hyer-Spencer by 10 percentage points.[8] Upon her election to the Assembly, she became the first Greek-American woman elected to office in New York State, the first Cuban-American woman elected to office in New York State,[9] and the first person of Hispanic descent elected from Staten Island.[6] As of January 2018, she was one of only two Republicans from the City of New York serving in the Assembly, along with Michael Reilly. Malliotakis was Brooklyn’s only Republican lawmaker.[10]

In October 2011, Malliotakis submitted an amicus curiae brief in support of an American Automobile Association lawsuit against the Port Authority in federal court, arguing that recent toll increases were illegal.[11] She successfully brought an Article 78 proceeding in New York State Supreme Court to get the Port Authority to disclose the results of an economic impact study on the effect the toll increases had had on business at New York Container Terminal.[12]

Malliotakis was reelected in 2012 with 61% of the vote and in 2014 with 73% of the vote in both Brooklyn and Staten Island. After U.S. Representative Michael Grimm‘s resignation in 2014, she was mentioned as a top contender for his seat, but decided against a run.[13]

She made elder rights a hallmark of her tenure and successfully fought to keep a senior center in Staten Island from being closed.[14]

Malliotakis held a series of forums on the MTA Payroll Mobility Tax and its alleged negative impact on small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and private schools.[15] The New York state legislature and Governor Andrew Cuomo subsequently enacted significant repeals.[16] Malliotakis fought for relief from the September 2011 toll increase on Port Authority bridges,[17] calling for divestment of costly non-essential real estate holdings and highlighting mismanaged contributions to community organizations.[18]

During her first year in the Assembly, Malliotakis was named a “rising star” by Capitol News, Home Reporter News,[19] the Hispanic Coalition of New York,[20] and the Greek America Foundation.[21] The Business Council of New York State named her a “top-ranking pro-jobs supporter”.[22]

2017 New York City mayoral campaign

Mayoral campaign logo

On April 25, 2017, Malliotakis filed as a Republican candidate for mayor of New York City in the 2017 election.[23][24] She won the Republican nomination unopposed after businessman Paul Massey dropped out in June over money concerns.[25] On November 7, 2017, Malliotakis lost the election to incumbent Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, 66–28%.[26] She received 70% of the vote in Staten Island.

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2020

In 2020, Malliotakis ran as the Republican nominee for New York’s 11th congressional district against incumbent Democrat Max Rose.[27] Her state assembly district included much of the eastern portion of the congressional district.

The race was considered the only potentially competitive House race in New York City. The 11th has long been the most conservative district of the 12 that divide New York City; it is the only one with a Cook Partisan Voting Index less than D+20, and since the 1990s it has been the only New York City-based district where Republicans usually do well. The GOP had held the seat for all but one term since 1980 before Rose won the seat in an upset in the 2018 midterm elections. The two engaged in a contentious race, with many attack ads on both sides.[citation needed]

Malliotakis endorsed incumbent Republican President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election; in turn, Trump announced, “Nicole has my Complete & Total Endorsement!” She embraced Trump’s backing, saying, “I am honored by President Trump’s endorsement and his words of support…I plan to defeat Max Rose and return New York’s 11th Congressional District to commonsense leadership.”[28][29]

Malliotakis declared victory upon taking a commanding lead in election day returns on November 3. Rose did not immediately concede, citing absentee votes yet to be counted.[30] As it became apparent that Malliotakis’s lead was too large to overcome, Rose conceded on November 12.[31] Malliotakis took 53% of the vote to Rose’s 46.8%.[32]

2022

In 2022, Malliotakis ran for a second term against former Democratic congressman Max Rose in a rematch of her previous race.[33] She declared victory on election night, and Rose conceded defeat shortly afterward; Malliotakis took 60.9% of the vote to Rose’s 39.1%.[34]

Tenure

In January 2021, Malliotakis was appointed as the Assistant Minority Whip for the Republican Conference, the House Committees On Foreign Affairs and Transportation & Infrastructure, as well as the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus.[35]

On February 4, 2021, Malliotakis joined 10 other Republican House members and all Democrats in voting to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her House Education and Labor Committee and House Budget Committee assignments in response to controversial political statements she had made.[36] Malliotakis called Greene’s comments “extraordinarily offensive and hurtful to thousands of 9/11 families and first responders, our Jewish community and many others in my district.”[citation needed]

On November 5, 2021, Malliotakis joined 12 other Republicans in voting for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which passed the House 228–206.

In January 2023, Malliotakis was selected to serve on the House Committee on Ways and Means in the 118th Congress; she is the only House member from New York City to serve on the committee this term and the first Republican from the city to serve on the committee in 30 years.[37]

Committee assignments

Caucus memberships

Political positions

During her time in Congress, the American Conservative Union, a political action committee (PAC) supporting American conservatism, gave her a 66% score for voting in line with its positions while the American Civil Liberties Union, a PAC associated with American liberalism and libertarianism, gave her a 0% score.[43] Upon her election to Congress, Malliotakis indicated an intent to join other freshman Republicans in forming a counterweight to oppose the so-called “Squad” of progressive Democrats; the coalition is known as the Freedom Force.[44][45][46][47]

2020 election

Shortly after Joe Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election, Malliotakis refused to acknowledge Biden’s win, echoing Trump’s refusal to concede the election.[48] In the aftermath, Malliotakis supported Trump’s false claims of election fraud.[49]
On January 6, 2021, Malliotakis voted to object to counting either Arizona’s or Pennsylvania’s electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election based on disproved allegations of voter fraud and unconstitutional procedures.[50] On January 9, more than 300 protesters, including seven New York City and New York State elected officials, gathered outside her Brooklyn office to call for her to either vote to impeach Trump or resign, noting that her vote to object to the election results was premised on spurious voter-fraud theories that had motivated a violent, armed attack on the U.S. Capitol.[51] On January 13, she voted against Trump’s second impeachment for inciting the storming of the Capitol.[52]

Abortion

As a state legislator, she received a 100% rating in 2011 from the New York State Right to Life Committee, an anti-abortion PAC, and a 50% rating in 2019 from Planned Parenthood Empire State, a pro-abortion rights PAC, indicating how often she voted with their positions.[43] During her run for mayor, she said, “I am not against abortion.”[53] She does not support overturning Roe v. Wade, but has voted against taxpayer-funded abortions and against New York state’s late-term abortion bill. During her run for mayor, she did not identify as pro-life or pro-choice, saying, “it’s not black or white. I think there’s a lot of things that go into a decision of that magnitude.”[54] But in her congressional campaign, she identified as pro-life, even as she reiterated that she does not “hold black-and-white views” on abortion.[55]

COVID-19

Malliotakis voted against the American Rescue Plan in 2021, but after its passage, she touted aspects of the legislation as one of her “achievements”.[56]

Donald Trump

Malliotakis voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election and opposes sanctuary city status for undocumented immigrants in New York City.[57] During her mayoral campaign, she said that she regretted voting for Trump and that she would “write in Marco Rubio so that I could tell you I voted for Marco Rubio.”[58][59] In 2020, however, she endorsed and said that she voted for Trump.[60]

Gun policy

On legislation relating to firearms and gun ownership, Malliotakis received an 8% rating from the Gun Owners of America, a PAC opposing gun control laws, and a “C-” grade from the NRA Political Victory Fund,[61][62] another PAC opposing gun control legislation.[43]

Immigration

Malliotakis has repeatedly called for the implementation of additional security measures on the border between the United States and Mexico.[63]

While in the State Assembly, Malliotakis said she was “against New York State extending licenses for illegal immigrants”.[10]

Infrastructure

On November 5, 2021, Malliotakis was among the 13 House Republicans who voted with a majority of Democrats to pass the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill.[64]

LGBT rights

After originally opposing same-sex marriage, Malliotakis said she regretted that position and voted to support adoptions by same-sex parents and to protect estate rights for married same-sex couples.[54] She voted against a bill relating to bathroom rights for transgender people.[65] Malliotakis also voted against the Equality Act.[66] She has been endorsed by Log Cabin Republicans, a Republican PAC in favor of same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ rights.[67]

On July 19, 2022, Malliotakis and 46 other Republican Representatives voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage in federal law.[68] She said, “In 2017, I expressed my deep regret for voting against a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in New York State while in the state Assembly six years prior. Over the past decade, I have attended two weddings of couples who deserve equal recognition and protection under the law.”[69] On December 8, 2022, she and 38 other Republican representatives voted for the final passage of the Respect for Marriage Act.[70]

Taxes

Malliotakis opposed raising fees on plastic bags in New York and supports reducing bridge tolls.[57] She proposed a plan to cut property taxes for seniors and to limit increases on property taxes.[71]

Big Tech

In 2022, Malliotakis was one of 39 Republicans to vote for the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022, an antitrust package that would crack down on corporations for anti-competitive behavior.[72][73]
