Congressman Nick LaLota, representing New York's 1st District since 2023, has recently addressed several issues of concern through his social media platform. His tweets cover topics from tax relief to local law enforcement leadership and human trafficking awareness.
On January 30, 2025, Congressman LaLota expressed the urgent need for State and Local Tax (SALT) relief. He emphasized the financial burden on Long Island families who "receive just $0.74 for every dollar to Washington" and stated his commitment to opposing any tax plan that does not include SALT relief.

In a tweet dated January 31, 2025, LaLota congratulated Kevin Catalina on his nomination as Suffolk County’s Police Commissioner. He described Catalina as "a proven leader and trusted partner," asserting that he is an excellent choice to lead Suffolk’s law enforcement community in its mission to maintain safety. The original post is available here.
Later that day, Congressman LaLota acknowledged Human Trafficking Awareness Month in a tweet highlighting the issue of human trafficking exacerbated by previous open-border policies. He mentioned targeting the Tren de Aragua gang as part of efforts in Congress to dismantle trafficking networks and protect communities. More details can be found here.
