Larry interviews Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis about 'forced redistricting' and the pending lawsuit

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis is serving her third term representing New York’s 11th Congressional District which encompasses Staten Island and parts of Southern Brooklyn. Malliotakis is a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means and throughout her tenure she has been focused on making America’s cities safe again, securing the southern border, tackling inflation to strengthen our economy and unleashing America’s energy potential.Malliotakis’ office has resolved over 21,000 constituent cases, helped 193 immigrants become United States citizens, and delivered over $220 million to the district including federal funding for the NYPD, U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York, local sewer projects, several area hospitals, and the St. George Theatre. Malliotakis delivered on her promise to secure New York’s fair share of federal mass transit funding as a previous member of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure with her vote for the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Over $100 million has already been committed to NY-11 from the IIJA for various projects including the rehabilitation of bridges over the Staten Island Expressway, Gowanus Expressway, and dredging in Arthur Kill Terminal. Malliotakis also worked to get the Staten Island Seawall Project back on track after costly redesign requests made by the city caused years of delays and has ensured the federal share of the project will be fully funded to completion alleviating the financial burden on the city and state. As a previous member of the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, Malliotakis has been a strong voice for American values overseas, reducing our reliance on China and against the spread of communism in Central and South America. She has stood up for our allies, such as Greece, Cyprus, and Israel against neighboring authoritarian regimes. Malliotakis successfully inserted language into the National Defense Authorization Act requiring more transparency regarding Iran’s nefarious activities on U.S. soil and helped pass a bipartisan amendment establishing congressional oversight on any sale of F-16 fighter jets and military equipment to Turkey. Prior to Congress, Malliotakis spent five terms in the New York State Assembly where she fought to restore ethics in Albany, expand transit service in her district, improve programs for senior citizens, reform education, better New York’s economic climate and help her community rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
