Malliotakis declares victory in CD11
Incumbent Rose refuses to concede, citing thousands of mail-in ballots
COURIER LIFE, NOV. 6-12, 2020 9
BY ROSE ADAMS &
MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK
Republican Nicole
Malliotakis declared
victory over Democratic
incumbent Max
Rose in the contentious
congressional race in
Staten Island and southern
Brooklyn’s 11th District
on election night,
though Rose has refused
to concede.
Malliotakis won just
under 58 percent of inperson
votes (136,382)
in the swing district on
Tuesday night, with 97.9
percent reporting. Rose
claimed approximately
42 percent of the in-person
vote (99,224).
The Republican challenger
bested the incumbent
on both the Staten
Island side and in the
Brooklyn sections of
the district, which include
Bay Ridge, Dyker
Heights, Bensonhurst,
and Gravesend.
On the Rock she
garnered 52 percent at
126,061 votes, compared
to Rose getting just
north of 40 percent with
97,328 votes, according
to state Board of Election
fi gures.
Malliotakis’s lead
was narrower in southern
Brooklyn, where
she earned 47 percent, at
29,293 votes, while Rose
got just under 44 percent,
at 27,196 votes.
Malliotakis declared
victory shortly after
10 pm with a margin of
about 27,000 votes, and
slim chances of Rose
catching up. Elections
offi cials have processed
around 24,000 absentee
ballots from registered
Democrats in the district
— meaning that for
Rose to close the gap, he
would need to rake in
more than 3,000 absentee
votes in addition to
those 24,000 ballots.
And that doesn’t take
into account the 8,125 absentee
ballots processed
so far from registered
Republicans, or the possibility
that many absentee
voters did not vote in
the congressional race.
Elections offi cials
are still working to process
the mail-in ballots
received in the fi nal
stretch, and will begin
counting the absentee
ballots Nov. 9.
But, from outside
of LiGreci’s Staaten in
Staten Island, Rose did
not concede.
“We came in tonight
saying we may not know
a winner at the end of
this evening, and that is
still the case,” he said.
“At this moment there
are more than 40,000 absentee
ballots that were
returned, with potentially
10,000 more in the
mail,” Rose said in his
remarks.
Meanwhile, from a
tent behind her Staten
Island headquarters,
fi ve-term Assemblywoman
Nicole Malliotakis
said her victory
would “resonate from
New York’s City Hall to
the halls of Congress,”
and slammed the city
and state’s Democratic
leaders for underestimating
and misunderstanding
the district.
“They don’t understand
the voters of the
11th congressional district;
they are good and
decent people who can’t
be bought and won’t tolerate
being lied to,” she
said of representatives
like House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi. “We have
returned the 11th Congressional
District to the
hands of the Republican
and Conservative Party
thank you for your support
and making this
victory a reality.”
The heated race for
the 11th congressional
district was among the
most-watched in the
country, as freshman
Rose, a Democrat, fought
to hold onto his post in a
district that voted overwhelmingly
for President
Donald Trump in
2016.
A Staten Island native,
Malliotakis was
fi rst elected to the state
assembly in 2010 to represent
East New York
and New Lots. Since
2012, she has served as
assemblywoman in the
64th District covering
northeast Staten Island
and a sliver of Bay Ridge.
Malliotakis ran against
Mayor Bill de Blasio on
the Republican ticket
during his reelection
campaign in 2017.
Malliotakis Tuesday
credited support from
almost every major police
union for helping
put her over the top..
“It was a beautiful
night and we had all the
confi dence in her. I’m
very proud of her,” her
father, George, beamed.
“Whatever I am today is
because of her and that’s
the best there is.”
