STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A “HEROES WORK HERE” banner served as the backdrop for another group of heroic Staten Islanders on Sunday.
(STATEN ISLAND/BROOKLYN, NY) -Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) joined Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella and local veterans groups at two events to speak out against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) proposal to close and consolidate VA Medical Centers in New York City.
(WASHINGTON, DC) - Today, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) announced that she has secured $11,276,560 for various projects across Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, the federal government's operational budget. In July, Malliotakis was able to get funding for nine local projects reported out of the House Appropriations Committee. Today, the bill was passed out of the House.
The Biden administration plans to close two of the Veterans Administration hospitals in New York City — in Brooklyn and Manhattan, The Post has learned.
The VA would close those two hospitals and contract with private medical providers as part of a “strategic collaboration” to treat vets.
The plan sparked immediate rebuke from Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island).
(WASHINGTON, DC) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today released the following statement regarding President Biden's announcement that the United States will ban the import of Russian oil in response to Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine:
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, along with several members of Congress, spoke with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a zoom meeting Saturday, as he thanked the U.S for their continued support and asked for assistance in the country’s fight against Russia.
Malliotakis said Zelenskyy, who has survived three assassination attempts, gave an update and assessed what is currently taking place on the ground to about 300 Congress members.
“He said there have been thousands of casualties --- more civilians deaths than military,” she added.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As gas prices across the country continue to climb at a rapid rate, calls for the United States to lessen its dependence on foreign energy sources are growing.
On Friday, a group of Staten Island elected officials, led by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn), gathered at a Shell gas station in Dongan Hills to call on the federal government to allow initiatives that would enhance the country’s energy independence in an effort to combat rising prices at the pump.
(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today joined local elected officials, small business owners, and concerned members of the community in calling on the Biden Administration to ramp up domestic energy production to become less dependent on foreign oil, protect our national security, and reduce the financial burden inflation is putting on American taxpayers. During Malliotakis' press conference, the price of gas at the station jumped from $3.99 to $4.19.
(BROOKLYN, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) recently delivered a new American flag to the Guild for Exceptional Children (GEC).
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Rep. Nicole Malliotakis disagreed Tuesday night when she heard President Joe Biden say the state of the union is strong.
On Wednesday, Malliotakis pointed to things like rising prices at the gas pump, supply chain issues, and an uptick in crime to paint a stark contrast to the positive image Biden laid out during his first State of the Union address to Congress.
“The Biden administration created a lot of this pain that American families are feeling through their policies,” she said. “We really need to reverse course here.”
