Since her election to Congress, Representative Carolyn Maloney has worked to get senior citizens the care and resources they need and deserve.
In particular, she’s sought to ensure that seniors can continue to live in their own communities, close to family and friends. As part of that effort, Rep. Maloney secured federal funding for numerous senior housing developments in her district, including Carnegie East Houses, Riverview Gardens, Archbishop Iacovos Senior Residence, George Douris Tower, the Vallone Family Senior Residence, PCA Senior Residence and the Stein Senior Center.
In addition, Rep. Maloney has been a tireless advocate for Medicare and Social Security, ensuring they remain strong and reliable for seniors. From opposing plans to privatize Social Security or change the benefit-calculation formula to fighting for a meaningful Medicare prescription drug benefit for all, she constantly pushes Congress to strengthen and improve these essential programs.
In New York, Congresswoman Maloney’s dedicated casework staff helps seniors every day with Social Security claims, housing, and other essential services. If you or someone you know requires assistance, please visit this page for more information.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-Manhattan, Queens) spoke out against President Bush’s veto of HR 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Bush used the first veto of his presidency to strike down HR 810; the bill would expand federal funding for stem cell research projects that use embryos from fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded.
Mr. Speaker I rise in opposition to H.R. 2830, the Pension Protection Act of 2005.
Any bill that is called the “Pension Protection Act” should protect pensions, but the bill we have before us makes things worse in many ways for many current pensioners in this country and for many future pensioners.
