Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis, who represents New York’s 11th Congressional District, has expressed approval of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to maintain the current boundaries of her district.
In a statement released after the ruling, Malliotakis said: “Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to keep New York’s 11th Congressional District intact helps restore the public’s confidence in our judicial system and proves the challenge to our district lines was always meritless. The plaintiffs in this case attempted to manipulate our state’s courts to use race as a weapon to rig our elections. That was wrong and, as demonstrated by today’s ruling, clearly unconstitutional. Unfortunately, the politicization of New York’s courts and its judges necessitated action from the nation’s highest court. I thank the Justices who stopped the voters on Staten Island and in Southern Brooklyn from being stripped of their ability to elect a representative who reflects their values. Whether I serve another term in Congress is a decision for the voters, not Democrat party bosses and their high-priced lawyers.”
Malliotakis has served as the representative for New York’s 11th District since 2021, following her tenure in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2021. She succeeded Max Rose in Congress after winning election in 2020.
Born in New York City in 1980, Malliotakis currently resides in Staten Island. She holds degrees from Seton Hall University and Wagner College.
