Michael DeCillis, a former New York<\/a> Police Department officer, won a Democratic primary on Tuesday evening, securing his party\u2019s nomination to take on incumbent Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y.<\/p>\n

The race is among many pivotal matchups set to determine the balance of power in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a slim majority. Although New York Republicans have often found themselves the target of Democratic efforts to flip seats, DeCillis faces an uphill challenge in November.<\/p>\n

DeCillis has argued that congressional resistance to President Donald Trump<\/a> is key to preventing executive overreach.<\/p>\n

“He understands that our democracy is disappearing in real time,” DeCillis\u2019 campaign website reads.<\/a><\/p>\n

“In the next Congress, Mike will fight to build guardrails to protect our rights and ensure the government serves everyone \u2014 not just billionaires.”<\/p>\n

Throughout his campaign, DeCillis has touted his diverse background in public service and deep ties to the community in New York, pointing out that he is a fourth-generation Staten Islander and a third-generation union member<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve worked in EMS as a paramedic for over a decade, was a 9\/11 first responder, helping firefighters at Ground Zero,<\/a> I\u2019ve walked the streets of New York City as a police officer and taught as a special education teacher in our public schools,” DeCillis said in a campaign video.<\/a><\/p>\n

DeCillis has run for the seat twice before \u2014 once in 2018 and in 2022. In both races, he dropped out before the general election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now in his third challenge, DeCillis is painting Malliotakis as a MAGA-aligned Republican, out of touch with the split voter demographic<\/a> in the state, and calling her a “MAGA loyalist.”<\/p>\n

“President Trump and Republicans like Nicole Malliotakis are destroying democracy at home and diplomacy and security abroad,” DeCillis said in a post to X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Malliotakis last won reelection in 2024 with a 63.8% to 35.8% victory over Democratic challenger Andrea Morse, an attorney and small-business owner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having cleared the primary, DeCillis will face off against Malliotakis in the Nov. 3 general election.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
