Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis victory in her rematch against former Democratic Rep. Max Rose
New York (Election night) — Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis sailed to victory in her rematch against former Democratic Rep. Max Rose.
Malliotakis had ousted Rose, a decorated ex-Army officer, in 2020 after he served just a single term, and was able to hold onto the seat.
Albany Democrats had tried to unseat Malliotakis with redrawn congressional lines that would have added liberal parts of Brooklyn – including Park Slope – to her conservative, majority Staten Island 11th district.
Democrats outnumber Republicans more than 2-1 across New York State, and in NYC, the number is 7-1.
Every NYC Congressional district is represented by a Democrat – except for one: the 11th, which includes all of Staten Island and some parts of southern Brooklyn.
Two years ago Malliotakis narrowly defeated the Democrat incumbent Max Rose before the two faced off again in 2022.
She defeated him once again on Election Day in 2022.
Former President Donald Trump won the old district in 2020’s presidential election by clinching 53.8% of the vote, compared to 46.2% that went to Joe Biden.
