PROFILE
About Malinowski:
Tom Malinowski was born in Communist Poland at the height of the Cold War, where he lived with his mother until he was six years old. One of his earliest memories is of his mom paying off a corrupt official to get the passports that would allow them to come to America
He grew up in Central Jersey, going to public schools and playing baseball. He served under President Clinton on his National Security Council and as an assistant secretary of state under President Obama.
Since being elected to Congress, he has been standing up for people on health care, gun safety, and protection of the environment. He has gotten more money for the Portal Bridge and Gateway tunnel, and fought to get those critical infrastructure projects approved. He led a successful effort to restore funding the Trump administration cut to protect people from domestic terrorism, including anti-Semitic violence. He helped pass a House bill to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction.
He has worked across party lines to keep America safe but never hesitated to speak out when leaders failed to keep their oath to the Constitution. He wants America to remain the country his family chose when they came here.
