Congressional candidate, Nick LaLota spent eleven years serving the country he loves within the US Navy and has now set his sights on Washington. LaLota’s passions do not stop at politics. He is the definition of a family man who beams when speaking of his three amazing daughters and loving wife. LaLota comes from a long line of public servants and hopes to continue the legacy of his family by continuing his service as a member of Congress representing New York’s 1st District.
LaLota confidently details his plans for his first days in Washington, focusing on three issues — helping the economy, securing our border, and securing our freedoms. His first steps include the creation of a bill standing for American energy independence, reducing energy costs by making it easier to drill on federal land. As well as working to reduce federal spending to reduce our deficits and our debts which LaLota believes is a bipartisan issue.
