Malliotakis: Major Congestion Pricing Victory, but the Battle has not Ended

(NEW YORK, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today released the following statement regarding New York Governor Kathy Hochul announcing the indefinite pause of congestion pricing:

"Today’s announcement by the governor that she’s indefinitely postponing congestion pricing is a direct response to our lawsuits and immense political pressure from residents, businesses and common sense elected officials. While this news is very welcome and makes me extremely happy as someone who has fought congestion pricing for five years, it comes as the Democrats face horrific poll numbers. We must all have our eyes wide open and understand that if they prevail on November 5, congestion pricing will simply return on November 6. In addition to open borders, high inflation and increasing gas prices, for New Yorkers, this election is a referendum on congestion pricing."
