Nicole Malliotakis (born November 11, 1980) is a Republican politician from New York City who represents a small portion of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and Staten Island in the New York State Assembly. The Assemblywoman is the daughter of Greek and Cuban immigrants. She is the only Republican woman elected in New York City and the first Hispanic-American to win elected office in Staten Island. She is one of the first two Greek-American women elected to office in New York.
Malliotakis received a B.A. in communications from Seton Hall University and a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from Wagner College.
Malliotakis is the daughter of immigrant parents. Her mother is an immigrant from Cuba and her father is from Greece. Raised in the Greek Orthodox faith, Ms. Malliotakis grew up in Great Kills, Staten Island.
In 2013, she was recognized as a rising star. After Representative Michael Grimm resigned at the end of 2014, Malliotakis was mentioned as a top contender for his seat before deciding against a run.
In 2013, she was selected by the American Conservative Union to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington D.C. as one of the nation's 10 Conservative rising stars under the age of 40.
