STATEN ISLAND, NY – On Monday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R) to represent New York’s Eleventh Congressional District. The Chamber endorses pro-business candidates for federal office who will vigorously support public policy that will advance economic growth, support jobs, and promote fiscal responsibility.

“Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis has delivered for job creators, workers, and the families of Staten Island and southern Brooklyn during her first term in Congress,” said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Political Strategist Ashlee Rich Stephenson. “She is a tireless champion for pro-business policies, demonstrating through her leadership that free market solutions address the challenges and economic needs facing her constituents. The U.S. Chamber is proud to endorse Representative Malliotakis in her re-election, and we look forward to working closely with her in the next Congress.”

“It is a great honor to receive the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," said Representative Nicole Malliotakis. "Throughout my career I have always sought to advocate on behalf of innovators and job creators, cut red tape to release American ingenuity and bring pro-growth and free enterprise solutions to Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn. As the daughter of small business owners, I understand the challenges they face and how government all too often burdens and discourages instead of incentivizes and encourages. With the right leadership in Washington and the Chamber's continuing work to better the business environment in my community and nationally, I know the future is bright! On to Victory in November."

"The Business Council has always supported pro-business candidates, and we believe Nicole Malliotakis fits that description as a Congresswoman,” said Business Council of New York State President and CEO Heather Briccetti Mulligan. “From her time in the state legislature to her current tenure in Washington, Nicole has shown a proven track record of supporting business-friendly legislation that helps expand economic development not only in her district but across New York State.”
