Malliotakis picked for Ways and Means Committee
U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis on Wednesday was appointed to the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means.
Malliotakis is the first New York City Republican to serve on the committee in 30 years and is the city’s only Ways and Means member in the 118th Congress.
The committee is Congress’ oldest and is responsible for tax-writing. According to its website, eight presidents, eight vice presidents, 21 speakers of the House and four Supreme Court justices have served on Ways and Means.
Malliotakis said she’s looking forward to working with colleagues to “craft policies that get Americans back to work, rein in Washington’s bloated spending, unleash our energy independence, bring our supply chains home and push for trade deals that put America first.”
