Congressman Nick LaLota

It’s official—the SALT cap is now $40,000. That’s $5,000 in real tax relief for a Long Island family earning $250,000 and paying $18,000 in property taxes. I fought tooth and nail to deliver this win.

China undercuts American workers by manipulating currency, stealing IP, and propping up industries with massive subsidies. We need to keep fighting for fair trade and strong deals that protect U.S. jobs.

The One Big Bill boosts Long Island agriculture with more crop insurance, conservation funds, and specialty crop grants—supporting the local farms that feed us.

If you're here illegally or able-bodied but refuse to work, you shouldn’t get free taxpayer-funded health care. The Big Bill's work requirement fixes that.

On #HireAVeteranDay, we recognize the leadership Veterans bring to the cilivan workforce. It's why I sponsored a bill to expand @SBAgov contracts for service-disabled Vet-owned businesses. Hire a Vet!

I came to Congress to deliver results and independent ranking organizations have taken note, naming me one of the most effective members. Proud to keep up the fight every day.

Thanks to the new SALT cap I secured, a family earning $150K and paying $10K in property taxes could get an extra $1,839 back when they file in 2026.

Praying for the Suffolk County officer shot in the face while serving a murder warrant. Grateful he's expected to recover. A powerful reminder of the daily risks our officers face. We must never take their service for granted. 🙏💙

Anyone who passed 11th grade history knows that appeasing regimes bent on genocide and war never ends well. Washington must keep that in mind when dealing with Iran.

If you or a loved one is a Veteran and needs help with the VA, don’t hesitate to reach out—my team and I are here to assist however we can. 🇺🇸

Another great meeting with the Long Island Sound Citizens Advisory Committee—discussing how we can protect the Sound, preserve Plum Island, and advance my bipartisan LI Sound Stewardship & Restoration Act. Grateful for their dedication to our environment!

In honor of the anniversary of the Bytyqi brothers’ execution, I reintroduced my resolution demanding justice. Three American lives were taken—Serbia must be held accountable. Read H. Con. Res. 41 here 👇 congress.gov/119/bills/hcon…

The Big Bill includes a commonsense Medicaid work requirement supported by most Republicans, Democrats & Independents. It protects care for the truly vulnerable while promoting work, accountability & long-term solvency.

Congrats to fellow Long Islander @RepGarbarino, the new Chair of the Homeland Security Committee. From former Chair Pete King to former Subcommittee Chair Anthony D’Esposito, Long Island has a proud tradition of leadership on this key committee! 💪🏻

I proudly voted for the FY26 Defense bill to give our troops a raise, boost readiness, and kill woke waste. As a Navy Vet, I know warfighting comes first—not politics. This bill puts mission, strength, and safety back at the core of our military.

If Gov. Hochul had managed SNAP properly, NY wouldn’t owe $1.4B. Until she fixes it, that bill should be covered by the $2.4B she set aside for migrant hotels & health care—not by hardworking taxpayers.

Fact check: The OBBB provides thousands in tax relief to Suffolk families. Middle class wins.

The Big Bill’s work rules do two things: ✔️ Protect the safety net ✔️ Promote self-sufficiency with 80 hrs/month of work, training, or service It’s not punishment—it’s dignity. Even Clinton backed it. Proud to bring it back.

A nation running $2T deficits must be smarter about how we use limited federal resources to tackle today’s biggest challenges.
