2. Standing with Those Who Keep Us Safe ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/law-enforcement-public-safety at this heading)
  Supporting Law Enforcement is personal to me. My father and both grandfathers were Police Officers, and I grew up understanding the sacrifices Officers and their families make to keep us safe.
  From increasing Police presence as a Village Trustee to delivering resources and protections in Congress, I have consistently backed the men and women who wear the badge.
  New York State: Pro-Criminal, Anti-Law Enforcement ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/law-enforcement-public-safety at this heading)
  The anti-Police agenda is no longer confined to the political fringe. The Democratic Socialists of America’s platform calls for redirecting Police funding as a step toward “fully abolishing the police and prison system,” while its abolition working group calls for cutting Police budgets annually “towards zero.”
  New York Democrats have put that agenda into practice. Governor Hochul’s cashless bail continues returning repeat offenders to our streets. Her administration fired 2,000 Correction Officers amid dangerous prison conditions and staffing shortages, and she signed a statewide ban on 287(g) agreements, blocking local Law Enforcement from partnering with federal authorities to help remove dangerous criminal illegal immigrants.
  In New York City, Mayor Mamdani brought the socialist movement to City Hall after years of calling to defund the NYPD. Now, sanctuary policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities have reached Long Island, with East Hampton Town and Village becoming Suffolk County’s first municipalities to adopt them.
  I’m fighting their spread by reserving discretionary federal funding for communities committed to Law Enforcement cooperation, public safety, and the rule of law.
  Delivering Resources, Protections, and Results ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/law-enforcement-public-safety at this heading)
  While socialists talk about cutting Police budgets toward zero, I’ve delivered more than $5.25 million for vehicles, equipment, and technology for Suffolk County Law Enforcement, including:
  $1.2 million — Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office
  $825,000 — Suffolk County Police Department
  $1 million — Southold Police Department
  $782,000 — Southampton Town Police Department
  $280,000 — Riverhead Police Department
  $206,000 — Sag Harbor Police Department
  $158,000 — Quogue Police Department
  $150,000 — Asharoken Police Department
  $133,000 — Northport Village Police Department
  $123,000 — Head of the Harbor Police Department
  Backing the Blue with More Than Words ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/law-enforcement-public-safety at this heading)
  I’ve led and supported legislation giving Law Enforcement the tools and protections they need, including:
  Strengthening the COPS Program and supporting the POLICE Act, Back the Blue Act, and Protect and Serve Act.
  Leading the bipartisan DETECT Fentanyl and Xylazine Act, now law, giving Law Enforcement better technology to stop deadly drugs.
  Strengthening reporting on attacks against Officers and identifying available mental health resources.
  Expanding protections for qualified active and retired Officers, including concealed carry and retired service weapons.
  Defending the Second Amendment rights of responsible, law-abiding gun owners while promoting firearm safety and responsible ownership.
  I also co-led bipartisan legislation to further reduce federal taxes on overtime for Police Officers and other First Responders.
  The contrast is clear: Socialists want to cut Police budgets toward zero and ultimately abolish Police. I’m delivering millions to give Suffolk County’s Officers the equipment, protections, and resources they need to keep us safe.
  Long Island’s Law Enforcement Officers put their lives on the line for us every day. They can always count on me to have their backs.

3. Keeping America Strong, Secure, and Ready ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/peace-through-strength at this heading)
  I graduated from the United States Naval Academy, served eleven years in the Navy, and deployed overseas three times as a Surface Warfare Officer. I later served on the House Armed Services Committee and now serve on the Appropriations Subcommittee responsible for funding military construction and Veterans programs.
  Those experiences shaped a simple view of national defense: America should have the strongest, most lethal military in the world—not because we seek war, but because strength is the best way to deter it.
  Building the World’s Most Lethal Fighting Force ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/peace-through-strength at this heading)
  As a Tactical Action Officer aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, I was entrusted with weapons-release authority to defend the ship and 5,000 American lives. I understand the enormous responsibility we place on our Service Members—and what Congress owes them in return.
  That means properly staffing, equipping, training, and leading our military. It means investing in ships, submarines, munitions, drones, unmanned systems, advanced technology, and the American industrial base needed to produce them. And it means promotions and military decisions based on merit, performance, readiness, and lethality—not DEI mandates or political agendas.
  My commitment is also personal. My stepfather served in the Navy, and my brother, a decorated Marine sniper, earned the Bronze Star with Valor for his service in Fallujah. I’m so proud of our military and its mission that I would encourage my own daughters to enlist. Congress must ensure every parent can have that same confidence in the leadership, training, and resources protecting their child.
  In Congress, I have worked to:
  Deliver historic pay raises for our Troops while improving military housing, childcare, and support for their families;
  Fight for cost-of-living relief for Coast Guard members stationed in expensive communities like the Hamptons;
  Modernize our military with advanced weapons, drones, unmanned systems, ships, submarines, and stronger domestic supply chains; and
  Keep woke politics out of the military and restore a relentless focus on merit, performance, and mission readiness.
  Weakness invites aggression. Under the Biden Administration, America projected weakness while too many of our allies underinvested in their own defense. Russia invaded Ukraine, Iran and its terrorist proxies attacked American forces and international shipping, and Hamas carried out the October 7th massacre in Israel.
  President Trump was right to demand that our allies carry more of the burden. America should lead the free world, but American taxpayers should not be expected to shoulder its defense alone. NATO allies have now committed to dramatically increasing defense investment, strengthening the alliance while allowing America greater flexibility over our own defense resources.
  Supporting Our Allies, Protecting America ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/peace-through-strength at this heading)
  America is safer when capable allies can confront shared adversaries before American Troops have to.
  I have supported accountable security assistance to help Israel defeat terrorist threats, Ukraine resist Putin’s aggression, and our Indo-Pacific partners deter China—while replenishing American stockpiles, expanding U.S. weapons production, and strengthening the supply chains our own military depends on.
  But American strength must be matched by judgment.
  The Powell Doctrine guides my approach: military force should be used when a vital national interest is at stake, nonmilitary options have been exhausted, and our objective and exit strategy are clear.
  That means preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without putting American boots on the ground, seeking an end to the war in Ukraine without stumbling into direct conflict with nuclear-armed Russia, and building overwhelming strength in the Indo-Pacific to deter China rather than unnecessarily provoking a war.
  Strength With Restraint ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/peace-through-strength at this heading)
  Peace through strength means having the military and economic power to deter our adversaries—and the judgment to know when to use it.
  I know from experience that decisions made in Washington ultimately fall on young Americans in uniform to carry out. Before sending them into harm’s way, our leaders owe them a vital national interest, a clear mission, the resources to win, and a plan to bring them home.
  America should never seek war—but we must always be prepared to win one.

1. A More Affordable Long Island and America ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  New York is one of the most expensive places in America to live, work, raise a family, and retire. Long Islanders are squeezed by high property taxes, high state and local taxes, and the rising cost of everyday necessities.
  My approach is simple: you earned it, and you should keep more of it.
  That’s why cutting taxes for Long Island working families, seniors, and small businesses has been one of my top priorities in Congress.
  Cutting Taxes for Long Island Families ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  I fought to quadruple the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 and helped pass the landmark Working Families Tax Cuts, delivering significant tax relief for Long Island families and retirees.
  The law provides an average tax cut of approximately $3,000 for Long Island working families, while delivering targeted relief where people feel it most.
  We:
  Quadrupled the SALT deduction cap to $40,000, providing major relief to Long Islanders burdened by New York’s high property and state taxes.
  Cut taxes on overtime pay, allowing hardworking Americans to keep more of the extra money they earn.
  Cut taxes on tips, helping service-industry workers keep more of every dollar they make.
  Provided additional tax relief for seniors receiving Social Security, helping retirees living on fixed incomes.
  Created a deduction for interest on qualifying auto loans, helping families afford an American-made vehicle.
  Expanded tax relief for working families with children.
  Permanently preserved the 20% small business deduction, helping local entrepreneurs invest, hire, and grow.
  These aren’t tax breaks designed for Washington bureaucracies. They are tax cuts designed around the people who work, raise families, run businesses, and retire here on Long Island.
  Rewarding Work ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  Tax policy should encourage work, not punish it.
  Cutting taxes on tips and overtime means that when Americans work an extra shift, put in longer hours, or earn more through their own effort, they should keep more of that money.
  At the same time, I supported commonsense reforms requiring able-bodied adults receiving certain taxpayer-funded benefits to work, seek work, or volunteer for at least 80 hours per month, while protecting assistance for seniors, people with disabilities, and Americans who genuinely need help.
  It’s part of a broader economic principle I support: government should incentivize and reward work.
  If you work hard, play by the rules, and contribute to your community, Washington should make it easier—not harder—for you to get ahead.
  How Affordability Became a Crisis ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  Tax relief is especially important because Long Island families have been hit from every direction.
  Under the Biden Administration, inflation reached a 40-year high as federal spending, restrictive energy policies, and supply-chain disruptions contributed to rising costs. While inflation has fallen significantly from its peak, prices remain far above where they were just a few years ago.
  Here in New York, Long Islanders face another layer of costs from Albany. High taxes, expensive energy policies, government waste, and an enormous regulatory burden make it more expensive to own a home, operate a business, and raise a family.
  And our nearly $39 trillion national debt is a bipartisan problem. We cannot simply tax, borrow, and spend our way to prosperity. Restoring fiscal discipline is essential to protecting taxpayers, strengthening our economy, and preserving Social Security, Medicare, and other programs Americans rely upon.
  Lower Energy Costs Means More Money in Your Pocket ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  Taxes are only one part of the affordability equation. Long Islanders also need relief from high utility and energy bills.
  I support an all-of-the-above American energy strategy that responsibly expands domestic production, strengthens energy independence, lowers costs, and creates good-paying jobs. Governor Hochul should reverse policies hostile to safely developing New York’s abundant natural gas resources.
  I’ve supported the Lower Energy Costs Act, Strategic Production Response Act, Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act, and cosponsored the Certainty for Our Energy Future Act.
  At the same time, I passed an amendment to protect Long Island from offshore drilling and broke with my own party to preserve clean-energy tax incentives supporting thousands of New York and Long Island jobs.
  My approach is about affordability, reliability, American energy, and American jobs—not ideology.
  Reining in Spending and Protecting Taxpayers ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/economy-affordability-tax-cuts at this heading)
  Cutting taxes must be accompanied by making government more responsible with the money taxpayers already send to Washington.
  As a former Village Trustee and Budget Officer, I helped reduce local debt by more than 20%, earn multiple debt-rating upgrades, and strengthen essential services. Washington should operate with the same basic principle: respect the taxpayer.
  I’ve supported measures such as the Fiscal Responsibility Act to rein in federal spending, reduce bloated government operating costs, and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
  We should continue moving toward a balanced budget while protecting Social Security, Medicare, Veterans’ health care, and our national defense.
  You Earned It. You Should Keep More of It.
  Long Islanders work too hard to watch government take more and more of every paycheck.
  My affordability agenda starts with cutting taxes and letting working families keep more of what they earn. It also means rewarding work, lowering energy costs, creating good-paying American jobs, bringing federal tax dollars back home to Long Island, and demanding that government live within its means.
  Whether that means working with my own party, working across the aisle, or standing up to either one, I’ll keep fighting to lower taxes, lower costs, and make Long Island more affordable for working families and retirees.

3. Fighting Fraud to Protect Earned and Safety-Net Benefits ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/fighting-fraud-federal-programs at this heading)
  Every dollar stolen through fraud is an insult to hardworking taxpayers—and a dollar that can’t be used to keep our promise to Social Security recipients, care for our Veterans, or protect critical safety-net programs for Americans who truly need them.
  That’s why I’m fighting to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse from federal programs and demanding accountability from states that administer them. When Washington sends taxpayer dollars to Albany, federal officials have a responsibility to make sure those dollars reach the people they were intended to help.
  Protecting taxpayers and protecting legitimate beneficiaries go hand-in-hand.
  Fraud and Failed Oversight in New York ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/fighting-fraud-federal-programs at this heading)
  New York administers enormous Medicaid, SNAP, and unemployment programs with substantial federal taxpayer funding. Yet fraud, improper payments, and weak oversight continue to put both taxpayer dollars and critical benefits at risk.
  New York’s Medicaid spending has exploded from roughly $50 billion to more than $126 billion in a decade—approximately $40 billion more than Texas and Florida combined despite their substantially larger combined population. New York spends about 80% more per enrollee than the national average and substantially more than comparable high-cost states, without delivering correspondingly better outcomes.
  At the same time, New York has failed to aggressively police Medicaid fraud. When fraudsters steal from Medicaid, they aren’t just stealing from taxpayers—they’re taking resources from seniors, people with disabilities, children, and low-income Americans who depend on the program.
  SNAP recipients have also been victimized by the theft of EBT benefits. New York was slow to implement basic security protections, leaving vulnerable families exposed while taxpayers ultimately covered the losses. Meanwhile, the state’s failure to provide complete fraud information has made it more difficult to determine the full extent of the problem.
  New York’s unemployment insurance system presents another warning sign. Under Governor Hochul, the state has experienced extraordinarily high fraud and improper-payment rates, wasting taxpayer dollars that should be available to workers who legitimately lose their jobs.
  And while these programs struggle with fraud and improper payments, Albany has committed billions of taxpayer dollars to housing, health care, legal services, and other assistance for migrants.
  New Yorkers pay some of the highest taxes in America. They deserve to know their money is being protected.
  Preserving Medicaid and SNAP for Americans in Need ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/fighting-fraud-federal-programs at this heading)
  I’ve stood up to my own party when necessary to protect Medicaid and SNAP benefits for eligible Americans while supporting commonsense reforms to strengthen these programs by eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse.
  That includes stronger eligibility verification and program-integrity safeguards designed to prevent taxpayer-funded benefits from going to scammers, duplicate recipients, or people who aren't legally eligible to receive them.
  It also means preserving these programs for the people who genuinely need assistance.
  Seniors, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and Americans facing legitimate hardships should have a strong safety net. But able-bodied, non-senior adults who can work should be expected to work, seek work, train, or volunteer at least 80 hours per month in exchange for taxpayer-funded benefits.
  That principle isn't about eliminating the safety net. It's about strengthening it for those who need it while encouraging and rewarding work for those who can.
  Stopping Fraud, Waste, and Abuse ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/fighting-fraud-federal-programs at this heading)
  I’ve supported efforts to protect taxpayer dollars by:
  Strengthening oversight and eligibility verification across federal benefit programs to prevent fraud and improper payments.
  Holding states accountable for safeguarding the federal taxpayer dollars they administer.
  Eliminating wasteful federal spending while preserving legitimate humanitarian and national security priorities.
  Increasing congressional oversight of federal agencies to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent for their intended purposes.
  Ending abuses of DOJ settlements so settlement funds go to victims or the U.S. Treasury—not politically favored third parties.
  The principle is simple: government owes taxpayers responsible stewardship before asking them to pay another dollar.
  Fighting fraud isn't about choosing between fiscal responsibility and compassion. It's how we protect both.
  I’ll keep fighting to protect taxpayer dollars, preserve Social Security, Veterans’ benefits, Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs Americans depend on, and hold government accountable for delivering results for the people it serves.

4. Defending the Values That Make America Exceptional ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/freedom-vs-socialism at this heading)
  My eleven years in the Navy strengthened my belief that America is the greatest nation on Earth—and that the freedom, opportunity, and values behind her exceptionalism must be defended. That same conviction guides my service in Congress today.
  The Democrat Party’s March Toward Socialism ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/freedom-vs-socialism at this heading)
  The Democrat Party of John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton championed working Americans, understood the value of hard work, and recognized that economic growth—not government dependency—was essential to expanding opportunity.
  That is no longer the party we see today.
  Today’s Democrat Party is increasingly shaped by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and other bona fide socialists. Their influence is no longer confined to the political fringe. It is driving the Democrat Party further left and moving once-radical ideas into its mainstream.
  The Democratic Socialists of America have put their agenda in writing. Their published program calls for:
  Abolishing ICE and ending immigration detention and deportations.
  Defunding the police as a step toward abolishing police and prisons.
  Abolishing the United States Senate and the Electoral College.
  Replacing the presidency and Supreme Court with institutions subordinate to Congress.
  Replacing private ownership of major corporations and essential industries with public ownership.
  Ending American military and economic assistance to Israel.
  These ideas would fundamentally transform our economy, dismantle constitutional safeguards, weaken public safety, and replace individual opportunity with greater government control.
  The election of Mayor Mamdani has further emboldened this movement, expanded the DSA’s influence within the Democrat Party, and given its agenda a powerful platform in New York. Now, Mamdani, the DSA, and their allies are looking beyond New York City and working to bring their policies to Long Island.
  The Republican Party of Working Americans ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/freedom-vs-socialism at this heading)
  While Democrats have moved toward socialism, today’s Republican Party has become the party of working Americans—the tradesmen, small-business owners, Police Officers, Firefighters, teachers, nurses, truck drivers, hospitality workers, farmers, fishermen, and families who keep our communities and economy moving.
  We proved it by reforming the tax code to reward work and let Americans keep more of what they earn. I helped quadruple the SALT deduction, provide federal tax relief on qualified tips and overtime, and deliver an additional tax deduction for eligible seniors—saving the average Long Island family approximately $3,000.
  We also strengthened Medicaid by preserving it for the vulnerable Americans who rely upon it, tightening eligibility rules for noncitizens, and requiring certain able-bodied adults to work, seek qualifying employment, participate in a work program, volunteer, or attend school for at least 80 hours each month.
  That is not about denying assistance to people who genuinely need it. It is about protecting Medicaid, respecting taxpayers, and ensuring government assistance serves as a bridge to greater independence—not a permanent substitute for work.
  Opportunity, Not Dependency ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/freedom-vs-socialism at this heading)
  America was not built by government mandates or endless dependency programs. It was built by hardworking people who took responsibility, played by the rules, and pursued a better future for their families.
  We build a stronger economy by rewarding work, encouraging self-sufficiency, supporting small businesses, and creating opportunities for Americans to get ahead. We build a stronger country by securing our border, protecting taxpayers, upholding the rule of law, and defending the constitutional system that has preserved our freedom for generations.
  If we remain true to those principles, America’s best days—and Long Island’s best days—are still ahead.

1. Protecting Long Island's Environment and Water Quality ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/environment-water-quality at this heading)
  I believe in the Theodore Roosevelt tradition of conservation: protect what makes America special, use our natural resources wisely, and leave Long Island stronger for the next generation. That tradition has been carried forward here in Suffolk County by leaders like Ken LaValle, Ed Romaine, and Anthony Palumbo, and it's the approach I've brought to Congress.
  On Long Island, clean water isn't just an environmental issue—it's essential to our health, our economy, our property values, and our way of life. Because we rely almost entirely on a sole-source aquifer for our drinking water and treasure the Long Island Sound, Peconic Estuary, bays, beaches, and wetlands that surround us, protecting water quality has been one of my highest priorities. That's why I've delivered bipartisan results to protect our drinking water, improve wastewater infrastructure, reduce stormwater pollution, strengthen coastal resilience, and support good-paying clean energy jobs.
  Delivering Results for Clean Water ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/environment-water-quality at this heading)
  As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Long Island Sound Caucus, I have helped secure more than $120 million for the Long Island Sound and Peconic Estuary, co-led bipartisan legislation strengthening the EPA's National Estuary Program, and delivered more than $16 million for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, groundwater, and septic infrastructure throughout Suffolk County.
  Those investments are helping:
  Connect PFAS-impacted homes and neighborhoods in Calverton, Manorville, Westhampton, and Smithtown to safe, reliable drinking water;
  Modernize wastewater infrastructure in Huntington, Kings Park, Sag Harbor, Southampton, Shelter Island, and St. James to reduce nitrogen pollution and protect our bays;
  Reduce flooding, improve stormwater management, and prevent contaminated runoff from reaching local waterways in Smithtown, Kings Park, Miller Place, and Sound Beach;
  Expand septic system improvements that protect groundwater and help restore Long Island's bays, harbors, and estuaries; and
  Preserve and restore the Long Island Sound and Peconic Estuary for future generations.
  Fighting for Suffolk County ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/environment-water-quality at this heading)
  After severe flooding washed out Harbor Road in Stony Brook in 2024, I pressed Governor Hochul and President Biden to issue Major Disaster Declarations and later secured $2.5 million to rebuild the roadway. I also authored the Disaster Contract Improvement Act to improve FEMA transparency, reduce waste, and help storm-damaged communities receive federal assistance more quickly.
  Study after study demonstrates how Long Islanders send far more tax dollars to Albany than we receive in return.* That is why I've pushed Governor Hochul to direct more state investment toward Suffolk County's long-overdue disaster mitigation and coastal resilience projects, including Harbor Road and the Asharoken seawall.
  Putting Long Island First ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/environment-water-quality at this heading)
  My environmental record isn't driven by ideology—it's driven by what's best for Long Island.
  That's why I passed an amendment prohibiting offshore drilling off Long Island's coast, introduced legislation to designate Plum Island as a national monument, opposed legislation that would have harmed New York's solar industry, fought to preserve clean energy tax incentives that protect Long Island jobs, and sponsored bipartisan legislation extending the Clean Pass HOV program.
  I'll continue fighting to protect Long Island's sole-source aquifer, improve drinking water quality, reduce nitrogen pollution, strengthen our coastlines, maintain our waterways with the Army Corps of Engineers, support good-paying clean energy jobs, and ensure Suffolk County receives its fair share of the tax dollars Long Islanders send to Washington and Albany.
  Protecting Long Island's environment and water quality while growing our economy are not competing priorities. When we invest wisely, we can safeguard our natural resources, create good-paying jobs, and leave Long Island stronger for the next generation.

2. Securing Federal Funds for Long Island Projects ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/federal-funding-local-projects at this heading)
  Long Islanders pay some of the highest taxes in America and deserve to see more of those dollars invested back home. That’s why I’ve partnered with local leaders in every town across New York’s First Congressional District—Republicans and Democrats alike—to secure over $41.3 million in discretionary federal funding for critical infrastructure, public safety, clean water, jobs and downtown revitalization.
  Long Islanders Deserve a Better Return on Their Tax Dollars ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/federal-funding-local-projects at this heading)
  For too long, Long Island taxpayers have subsidized Albany and Washington while our roads, water infrastructure, public safety needs, and downtowns compete for a fraction of those dollars back.
  In 2022, a Long Island Regional Planning Council study found Long Island received less than 40 cents back for every tax dollar we send to Albany and just 62 cents for every dollar sent to Washington.* Meanwhile, Albany pours our tax dollars into New York City, bailing out Mayor Mamdani’s migrant crisis and mismanaged agencies like the MTA, while many other states receive more federal investments from Washington than they pay in.
  I’ve made it my mission to right that wrong—pressuring Governor Hochul for a fairer investment in Long Island’s infrastructure and using my seat on the House Appropriations Committee to bring more of our federal tax dollars home.
  Delivering Results Across Suffolk County ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/federal-funding-local-projects at this heading)
  Working with our local partners, I’ve secured over $41.3 million in federal investments for projects in every town in the district through the Community Project Funding process, including:
  $13.5 million for road repaving: repaving roads and rebuilding storm-damaged road infrastructure.
  $5.25 million for Law Enforcement: vehicles, equipment, communications, and technology for Suffolk County, incorporated village, and East End town Law Enforcement.
  $5.84 million for clean, safe drinking water: public water mains for PFAS-impacted communities.
  $7.5 million for clean groundwater and surface waters: sewer, wastewater and septic system infrastructure expansion and upgrades.
  $2.63 million for stormwater infrastructure: drainage and flood-mitigation projects protecting homes, downtown business districts, and reducing contaminated runoff into our waterways.
  $6.6 million for downtown revitalization: additional investments in marine and harbor infrastructure, historic preservation, brownfield remediation, and public spaces that support small businesses and local jobs.
  I’m proud to report that the $27.1 million in Community Project Funding earmarks I brought home for Long Island priorities in 2026 alone is higher than the federal funding 23 of the 25 other New York Members of Congress brought home to their districts.
  Bringing Our Tax Dollars Home ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/federal-funding-local-projects at this heading)
  These investments weren’t dreamed up by bureaucrats in Washington. They were identified with the local leaders who know their communities best and address real needs here on Long Island.
  I’ll keep fighting to bring our tax dollars home, invest them responsibly, and deliver results that make Long Island a safer, more affordable and resilient place to live and work.

3. Honoring Our Promise to Those Who Put Service Above Self ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/honoring-service-sacrifice at this heading)
  As a Navy Veteran, the son and grandson of Police Officers, the stepson of a Navy Veteran, the brother of a decorated Marine, I understand the sacrifices made by those who defend our nation and protect our communities.
  Our Service Members, Veterans, Firefighters, Police Officers, Paramedics, EMTs, and other First Responders put others before themselves—often spending time away from their families and carrying physical and emotional burdens long after their service ends.
  A grateful nation must do more than thank them. We must deliver the care, benefits, resources, and recognition they earned—and stand with their families when sacrifice follows them home.
  Those Who Answer the Call Deserve Better Than Bureaucratic Excuses ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/honoring-service-sacrifice at this heading)
  For too long, bureaucracy, political dysfunction, and failures under administrations of both parties have stood between those who served and the support they earned.
  Veterans have waited years for earned benefits and recognition. 9/11 First Responders have faced delays in lifesaving care. Volunteer Fire Departments have been threatened with costly federal mandates without the resources to comply.
  I’ve worked across the aisle—and stood up to both parties—to keep our promises to those who serve.
  Keeping Our Promise to Veterans ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/honoring-service-sacrifice at this heading)
  As a Navy Veteran and member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee responsible for Veterans Affairs, I have worked across the aisle to improve care and deliver the benefits Veterans earned, including:
  Voted to fully fund Veterans’ healthcare, including toxic-exposure treatment, and supported the bipartisan Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act to strengthen healthcare, caregiver assistance, mental-health services, and homelessness prevention.
  Fought to support the Long Island State Veterans Home, improve the Northport VA Medical Center, preserve access through facilities like the Riverhead VA clinic, and invest in suicide prevention.
  Introduced the bipartisan PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program Act, modeled on Suffolk County’s successful program for Veterans facing PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other service-related challenges.
  Introduced the bipartisan Vietnam Veterans Liver Fluke Cancer Study Act, which passed the House twice—including 411–0 in 2025—to improve research, diagnosis, and treatment for bile-duct cancer linked to service in Southeast Asia. I also pressed the VA to recognize cholangiocarcinoma as a presumptive service-connected condition so affected Veterans can receive the care and benefits they deserve.
  Through constituent casework, my team has also secured long-overdue VA benefits and helped two Vietnam Veterans finally receive the Purple Hearts they earned nearly six decades ago—including one approved after decades of denials.
  Standing with Firefighters and EMS Professionals ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/honoring-service-sacrifice at this heading)
  Long Island’s Firefighters, Paramedics, EMTs, and other EMS professionals answer the call at all hours—many as volunteers balancing careers, families, and growing emergency-response demands. I have worked across the aisle to:
  Support the bipartisan Fire Grants and Safety Act, preserving AFG and SAFER grants for equipment, training, staffing, and volunteer recruitment.
  Advance $3 million to modernize Suffolk County’s Emergency Operations Center and improve coordination during fires, storms, and other emergencies.
  Oppose an unfunded OSHA mandate that could increase property taxes, undermine recruitment, and force volunteer Fire Departments to close.
  Support occupational-cancer benefits for fallen Firefighters’ families, restore earned Social Security benefits for public servants, and expand overtime tax relief for First Responders.
  I also helped secure long-term funding for the World Trade Center Health Program and led a bipartisan effort challenging the Administration over staffing shortages, treatment delays, appeals backlogs, and reimbursement problems affecting 9/11 First Responders.
  I will continue working across the aisle and holding every administration accountable to honor the service of our Veterans, Law Enforcement, and First Responders, recognize their sacrifice, and deliver the benefits they earned.

3. Making Washington Work for Long Island ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  Washington is known for bureaucracy, delays, and dysfunction. I'm focused on making it work for Long Islanders.
  Since taking office, I've helped more than 5,500 constituents cut through federal red tape and recover more than $16.5 million in tax refunds, Veterans' benefits, Social Security payments, Treasury and OPM payments, disaster assistance, DOJ settlements, and other federal benefits.
  Whether solving an individual problem or reforming the laws that created it, my goal is simple: make the federal government work the way it should.
  Holding Washington Accountable ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  Too often, Washington creates unnecessary obstacles instead of delivering results. Veterans wait months or years for benefits they've earned. First Responders struggle to access care. Passport applications stall. Tax refunds are delayed. Seniors face endless bureaucratic hurdles.
  I don't believe that's acceptable.
  Regardless of which party controls Washington, I'll hold every administration accountable for delivering the service taxpayers deserve. Cutting bureaucracy should mean eliminating red tape—not reducing the services people rely on.
  The Best Casework Team in Congress ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  Helping constituents isn't a side job—it's one of my most important responsibilities.
  Since 2023, my constituent services team has helped more than 5,500 Long Islanders resolve problems with federal agencies and recover more than $16.5 million that rightfully belonged to them.
  We've helped residents work through the IRS, Department of Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, FEMA, the Passport Agency, Department of Education, Small Business Administration, U.S. Postal Service, and many other federal agencies.
  We've expedited passports for families facing emergencies. We've helped Veterans receive long-overdue benefits. We've secured Purple Hearts for two Vietnam Veterans—including one who had been denied for decades. We continued serving constituents throughout a government shutdown because Long Islanders shouldn't have to wait for Washington to get its act together.
  Most importantly, when someone calls my office, we don't ask whether they're a Republican, Democrat, or Independent.
  We ask, "How can we help?"
  Then we get to work.
  Fixing the System—Not Just the Symptoms ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  Helping one constituent at a time matters. Fixing the underlying problems helps thousands more.
  That's why I've worked with Republicans and Democrats to improve government accountability, reduce unnecessary delays, and make federal agencies more responsive to the people they serve.
  That includes legislation to:
  Reduce agency delays by increasing accountability for the federal workforce.
  Modernize the passport system and prevent future backlogs.
  Strengthen accountability at FEMA so disaster victims receive better service.
  Improve Veterans' access to health care and earned benefits.
  Protect Social Security benefits for public servants.
  Prevent disaster relief fraud and waste.
  Ensure settlement funds go to victims—not political slush funds.
  Maintain postal service during emergencies and facility closures.
  Delivering Results Beyond Legislation ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  Oversight matters just as much as legislation.
  When staffing shortages threatened care for 9/11 First Responders and survivors, I led a bipartisan effort demanding action to strengthen the World Trade Center Health Program. Within weeks, the Administration began hiring to fill critical vacancies.
  That's how Congress should work: identify problems, hold government accountable, and deliver results.
  Government Should Work for You ↗ (opens nicklalota.com/helping-you-beat-bureaucracy at this heading)
  The federal government exists to serve the American people—not the other way around.
  Whether I'm helping a Veteran recover earned benefits, a family obtain an emergency passport, a senior resolve a Social Security issue, or fighting to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy altogether, my mission is the same.
  I'll continue working to cut red tape, improve accountability, and ensure Long Islanders receive the benefits, services, and respect they've earned from their government.
