She previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2021, representing the 60th and then 64th districts.

Born November 11, 1980, she is the only Republican currently representing New York City in Congress.

Career

In the State Assembly, Malliotakis made elder rights a priority and successfully fought to keep a senior center in Staten Island from closing. She challenged the Port Authority toll increases through legal action and was effective at securing toll relief. She led forums opposing the MTA Payroll Mobility Tax, which contributed to the New York state legislature and Governor enacting significant repeals. In Congress, she voted for the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021, breaking with her party on this issue. She was selected to serve on the House Ways and Means Committee in January 2023, a significant achievement. In February 2026, she announced that SSG Michael H. Ollis of Staten Island would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor. Her voting record shows 71,348 total votes cast.
