Rep. Nicole Malliotakis
Representative for New York s 11th Congressional District
When Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, 40–one of the unprecedentedly large number of GOP women to enter Congress this year–was a child, she suffered from shyness.
A number of suggestions were made: Her pediatrician said Nicole could overcome her reticence by joining sports teams while others suggested theater.
But Nicole’s politically aware and Cuban born mother, Vera Malliotakis, decided to go a different route. “I put her in politics,” Vera told the New York Times. “I picked it because I wanted her to talk to people.”
Nicole signed on as a young volunteer to the successful congressional campaign of Vito J. Fossella, a Republican who would serve six terms representing New York’s 13th congressional district. “She stuffed envelopes, talked to people on the phone, handed out palm cards,” Vera Malliotakis added.

Congressman Dan Newhouse
When it comes to standing up for their way of life, the people of North Dakota could not have a stronger advocate than Representative Kelly Armstrong. For the past two years, I have worked with Representative Armstrong on a number of issues through his involvement in the Congressional Western Caucus, a group that advocates for the values and beliefs of rural communities across the country. Now, he has introduced legislation that will directly help the people of North Dakota – and those across the country – whose lives have been upended by President Biden’s termination of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
