Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, who represents New York’s 11th district in the U.S. Congress, issued a statement on her recent vote to prevent a government shutdown. Malliotakis has held this seat since 2021, following her tenure in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2021.
“Today I voted for a clean continuing resolution to keep our government open while we continue to work through the remaining appropriations bills to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington.
A Schumer shutdown would impact millions of American families, federal employees, and military service members who would see programs and pay withheld. We are taking action to ensure the government remains open, critical services are delivered, and our men and women in uniform are paid on time. I urge the Senate to swiftly pass this funding bill, which should receive bipartisan support considering these are the funding levels negotiated by Senator Schumer himself in 2024.”
Malliotakis emphasized that passing the funding bill is necessary to avoid interruptions in federal services and pay for service members. She called for bipartisan support in the Senate.
Malliotakis was born in New York City in 1980 and currently lives in Staten Island. She graduated from Seton Hall University with a Bachelor of Arts degree and also attended Wagner College.
