"I'm running because President Trump and Congressional Republicans including Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis are destroying democracy at home, and diplomacy and security abroad. We're all struggling to pay bills while inflation and tariffs eat into our already thin family budgets. Families are finding it nearly impossible to afford healthcare, groceries, our kids' education, and their homes, while Trump and his friends made literal billions through tax cuts and grift."
"Malliotakis has supported every inhumane, cruel, and unconstitutional policy that Trump has implemented. The candidate said Malliotakis and her colleagues in the Republican-majority House have been absent for the past year, and had failed to act as a co-equal branch of government."
Michael DeCillis, a former NYPD officer and political staffer, announced his candidacy in New York's 11th Congressional district Democratic primary. He criticized Republican incumbent Nicole Malliotakis and the Trump administration, citing concerns about inflation, tariffs, healthcare affordability, and education costs burdening families. DeCillis condemned Malliotakis for supporting Trump's ICE crackdown and military actions on Iran, characterizing her as endorsing inhumane policies. With a background including NYPD service, 9/11 paramedic work, special education teaching, and political advisory roles, DeCillis has previously mounted two unsuccessful congressional campaigns in the district. He accused House Republicans of failing to function as a co-equal branch of government.
