Happy New Year To New York’s 11th Congressional District, Year In Review From Rep. Malliotakis
Editor’s Note: Readers can learn more about where New Year’s Resolutions came from along with current Times Square events planned here. You can also learn about the early Catholic saint, St. Silvester, who was alive in the time of Constantine when the church began to become more unified and whose feast day is on New Year’s Eve.
During this busy holiday season, I’d like to take a moment to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!
This Congress, our office assisted 11,118 constituents, returned over $84 million to the district, and passed legislation to support law enforcement, cut taxes for middle class families and close the migrant shelter and the National Park Service’s Floyd Bennett Field.
Next week we will return to Washington and continue our work for the American people. House Republicans will be acutely focused on securing our southern border, unleashing our country’s domestic energy production, bringing our pharmaceutical supply chains home and extending tax provisions that create jobs and lift families out of poverty.
As we close out this year, take a look at our stats from the 118th Congress for just a small glimpse of what we’ve been able to accomplish together. I am honored to serve you in Washington!

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis
Congresswoman 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.
