STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - When Staten Island's seat in Congress becomes vacant, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis will be the first to jump at it.

Passed over last year in favor of then-District Attorney Daniel Donovan as the GOP candidate in a special election, Malliotakis is just as eager now to run for the House of Representatives, she indicated in a recent interview.

The May 2015 special election saw Donovan elected to fill the remainder of Michael Grimm's term -- he had resigned in disgrace after pleading guilty to tax evasion.

She is a Cuomo style gun grabber but will probably win election because the Democrats are so f@#ked up on Staten Island. I

I'd definitely prefer her over the incumbent.

She's one of the few New York City politicians who's not a disaster on immigration.

Disappointed to hear she’s anti-2A. That’s a non-starter for me.

The only Democrats who can win on the Island is Mike Cusick and Mike McMahon. Debi Rose can’t because she is from the North Shore. I was in the Island last week, it’s a Trump borough. However, it can be a swing borough.
