Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Infobox officeholder Nicole Malliotakis (born November 11, 1980) is an American politician and U.S. Representative-elect for New York's 11th congressional district. A a member of the Republican Party, she represents part of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and East Shore, Staten Island in the New York State Assembly. She is the only Republican woman elected in New York City and, as the daughter of Greek and Cuban immigrants, the first Hispanic American to win elected office in Staten Island.[1] Malliotakis is one of the first two Greek-American women elected to office in New York State.[2][3]

She was the Republican nominee in New York City's 2017 mayoral election against incumbent Mayor Bill de Blasio. As a candidate for New York's 11th congressional district in the 2020 election Malliotakis was endorsed by both the Republican and Conservative Parties.[4][5][6] Malliotakis defeated freshman incumbent Democratic Representative Max Rose in the November 3, 2020 general election.[7]

Early life and education

Malliotakis was born on November 11, 1980, in New York City.[8][9] Malliotakis grew up in Great Kills, Staten Island,[10] the daughter of immigrant parents; her father is from Greece and her mother is from Cuba. She was raised in the Greek Orthodox faith.[11]

She attended New Dorp High School on Staten Island, and during her senior year she was elected class president by her peers.[12] Malliotakis received a B.A. in communications from Seton Hall University and a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from Wagner College.[13]

Career

Malliotakis worked as a community liaison for both former State Senator John Marchi (2003–2004) and former Governor George Pataki (2004–2006). Prior to her election, Malliotakis also worked on state energy policy as the public affairs manager for the Consolidated Edison Company of New York.[13]

In November 2015, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida named Malliotakis as the New York State chair of his 2016 presidential campaign.[14]

New York State Assembly

In 2010, Malliotakis won the election to represent the 60th District in the New York State Assembly. She defeated two-term Democratic incumbent Janele Hyer-Spencer by a margin of 10 percentage points.[15]

Upon being elected to the Assembly, Malliotakis 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,[16] and the first person of Hispanic descent elected from Staten Island.[13] As of January 2018, she was one of only two Republicans from the City of New York currently serving in the State Assembly, along with Michael Reilly. Malliotakis is Brooklyn's only Republican lawmaker.[17]

In October 2011, she 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.[18] 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 regarding the effect the toll increases had had on business at New York Container Terminal.[19]

Malliotakis in 2012

Malliotakis was re-elected in 2012 with 61% of the vote and again in 2014 with 73% of the vote in both Brooklyn and Staten Island.

In 2013, Malliotakis was recognized as a rising star.[20] After Rep. Michael Grimm resigned at the end of 2014, she was mentioned as a top contender for his seat before deciding against a run.[21]

In 2015, Malliotakis voted against the passage of a bill in the New York State Assembly that would have required certain parents to ensure the immunization of their children against meningococcal disease.[22]

Malliotakis has made elder rights a hallmark of her tenure and has successfully fought to keep a senior center in Staten Island from being closed.[23]

Malliotakis held a series of forums with regard to the MTA Payroll Mobility Tax and its alleged negative impact on small businesses, non-profit organizations, and private schools.[24] The New York state legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo subsequently enacted significant repeals.[25]

She has fought for relief from the September 2011 toll increase on Port Authority bridges,[26] calling for divestment of costly non-essential real estate holdings and highlighting mismanaged contributions to community organizations.[27]

During her first year in the Assembly, Malliotakis received numerous awards and recognition, including being named a 'rising star' by Capitol News, Home Reporter News,[28] the Hispanic Coalition of New York,[29] and the Greek America Foundation.[30] She has also been named a 'top ranking pro jobs supporter' by The Business Council of New York State.[31]

2017 New York City mayoral election

On April 25, 2017, she filed as a candidate for Mayor of New York City in the 2017 mayoral election under the Republican Party.[32][33] She went on to win the Republican nomination unopposed after businessman Paul Massey dropped out in June over money concerns.[34] On November 7, 2017, Malliotakis lost the mayoral election to Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, 66–28%.[35] Although Malliotakis did not win the election, she garnered 70% of the vote in her home borough of Staten Island.

U.S. House of Representatives

In 2020, Malliotakis ran as the Republican nominee for New York's 11th congressional district against incumbent Democrat Max Rose.[36] Her state assembly district includes much of the eastern portion of the congressional district.

The race was reckoned as 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 an incredibly contentious race, with many attack ads on both sides.

Malliotakis endorsed incumbent Republican President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election; in turn, Trump announced “Nicole has my Complete & Total Endorsement!” Malliotakis 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.”[37][38]

President Trump's involvement to assist Malliotakis in the race intensified over the summer, when Trump disparaged her opponent Rose as “terrible”, a “phony”, a “fraud”, “weak”, and a “puppet” of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “He shouldn’t represent the people of Staten Island, who I love. That’s really Trump country...I love Staten Island. [Rose] shouldn’t represent the people of Staten Island, he’s too weak.” Malliotakis' campaign eagerly echoed the president's sentiments: “President Trump is right; Max Rose is a fraud and a puppet of Nancy Pelosi.”[39]

After a grueling campaign, Malliotakis declared victory upon taking a commanding lead in election day returns on November 3.[40] However, Rose refused to concede, citing absentee votes which were yet to be counted.[41]

Based on city and state-reported election night results, with all election districts reporting but mail-in ballots not yet included, Malliotakis was leading with 57.8% of the vote over Rose's 42.0%. Final results were expected by November 28.[42][43]

As it became apparent that Malliotakis' lead was too large to overcome, Rose conceded the race on November 12.[44][45] When she takes office in January 2020, she will be the only Republican representing a congressional district in New York City. She was likely helped by coattails from Trump, who carried the 11th district in his 2020 re-election bid by a landslide margin of 59.8 to 39.0 percent. Trump won Staten Island with 61.4 percent of the vote—by far his best showing in the Five Boroughs; Trump didn't win more than 40 percent in the rest of the city. Malliotakis won her home borough with 59.3 percent of the vote to Rose's 40.5 percent. On the other side of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Trump won the Brooklyn portion of the district with 55.2 percent of the vote; Malliotakis likewise won the Brooklyn portion 53.4 to 46.5 percent.

Political positions

Malliotakis voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and opposes the sanctuary city status for undocumented immigrants of New York City.[46] She opposed giving drivers' licenses to undocumented immigrants.[17] She does not support repealing Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion but has voted against taxpayer-funded abortions and against the late-term abortion bill passed by New York state. She does 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."[47] After originally opposing same-sex marriage, Malliotakis said she regretted that decision and voted to support adoptions by same-sex parents and to protect estate rights for married same-sex couples.[47] She voted against a bill relating to bathroom rights for transgender people.[48]

She opposed raising fees on plastic bags in New York and supports reducing bridge tolls.[46] She proposed a plan to cut property taxes for seniors and to limit increases on property taxes.[49] When running for mayor, she argued that these reforms in property taxes would mean the wealthy would pay a fair share while the poorer residents would get tax relief.[50]

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 led by fellow New York City congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "We have a group of new Republicans who love America. We value freedom, liberty and opportunity," Malliotakis said, referencing several other newly elected members of Congress whose families escaped from Communist regimes like Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida and Victoria Spartz of Indiana. "Freedom for a strong economy. Less government. That’s why our families fled oppressive regimes. Our families fled from oppressive countries with the very same policies that AOC and the Squad are promoting."[51]
