Nicole Malliotakis

Nicole Malliotakis was elected to the State Assembly on November 2, 2010. A lifelong resident of the 60th district, Nicole attended P.S. 53, I.S. 24, and New Dorp High School. She was the first in her family to graduate from college, earning a B.A. from Seton Hall University and an M.B.A. from Wagner College.

As a liaison for the late Senator John Marchi and Governor George Pataki, Nicole worked with civic groups, not-for-profits, and government agencies to enhance our quality of life. Most recently, as a public affairs manager, Nicole focused on the state’s energy, economic and environmental policies while working with community organizations and elected officials to make Brooklyn and Staten Island better places to work, live, and raise a family. Nicole is the daughter of immigrants. Her father is from Greece and her mother is a Cuban exile of the Castro dictatorship.

Her parents came to New York in search of the American Dream, and through their hard work, they attained a modest living as owners of a small business in Brooklyn. Their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit instilled a sense of ambition in Nicole that has inspired her life in public service. Nicole is committed to being a strong, independent voice in state government and to always represent the best interests of her constituents. She understands what it takes to provide a positive environment for both large and small businesses to spur job growth and revitalize New York’s economy. As an outspoken advocate for New York City commuters, Nicole joined area lawmakers in calling for a complete overhaul of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). She is ready to work with existing MTA leadership to improve the agency’s structure and halt fare hikes and service reductions that have unfairly burdened Staten Islanders and Brooklynites.

Nicole is committed to making sure that local taxpayers receive the appropriate return on their tax dollars when it comes to health care by expanding services in both boroughs. Nicole also is fighting for measures such as tort reform to provide a positive business atmosphere that will encourage health care providers to practice within the community. In an effort to provide a brighter future for Staten Island and Brooklyn children, Nicole is committed to strengthening the laws that protect our schools and communities from dangerous criminals. She also is fighting to provide parents and children with access to high quality educational opportunities.

Nicole is deeply attuned to the needs of our community’s senior citizens. The 60th district is home to one of the largest senior populations in the nation, and Nicole is fighting to provide them with the vital services they need. From fighting to expand the EPIC prescription drug program to providing property tax relief and keeping senior centers open, she is an unwavering advocate for the community’s elderly population. Nicole enjoys spending time with her family and utilizing the parks and outdoor recreational activities found within the 60th district.
