Evidence
Nicole is also working to equip every school with a trained police officer and security equipment and provide immediate access to crisis mental health care services. As a sponsor of HR 6056, the Parents' Bill of Rights, Nicole is working to provide transparency and more parental input in school curriculum. She supports expanding parental school choice so over a million more students can receive the education their parents know is best.
On 01/31/2025, H.R.833 was introduced in House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce. Rep. Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11] is listed among the cosponsors.
H.R.2798 was introduced in House on 04/09/2025 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bill text says it would create a tax credit for charitable donations for the creation or expansion of charter schools. Rep. Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11] is listed as an original cosponsor.
H.R.9462 was introduced on 09/06/2024, placed on the Union Calendar on 10/04/2024, and Rep. Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11] is listed as an original cosponsor.
The press release says the legislation "expands 529 education savings accounts, supports scholarships and school choice."

Congress.gov lists H.R.3519 as the "Universal School Choice Act" and shows an identical Senate bill referred to committee.
Congress.gov shows H.R.9462 was introduced in 2024, placed on the Union Calendar, and Malliotakis is listed as an original cosponsor.
Assessments
The record shows Malliotakis clearly promised to expand parental school choice and took concrete legislative steps toward that goal by sponsoring or cosponsoring multiple school-choice-related bills, including H.R.833, H.R.2798, H.R.3519, and H.R.9462. However, the evidence provided only shows introduction, referral, or advancement to the Union Calendar, not enactment or a completed federal expansion of parental school choice attributable to her. Under the federal standard, serious effort without achieving the promised policy outcome counts as not delivered, with an effort badge.
Malliotakis explicitly promised to support expanding parental school choice. The record shows legislative efforts consistent with the promise, including cosponsoring federal school-choice or charter-school expansion bills in 2024 and 2025, but the cited bills were introduced, referred, or placed on the calendar and did not become law. Because the promised expansion was not actually delivered, but she made serious legislative attempts, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
