Nicole has been a leading voice for government reform and transparency. As a member of the State Assembly, Nicole was one of the first to call for the resignation of New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver after it was determined that he used taxpayer funds to cover up sexual harassment and abuse by a powerful State Assemblyman and Democratic Party leader.

Nicole also vocally advocated for good government reforms that now disclose every vote taken by members of the State Assembly and she enacted a new state law taking pensions away from elected officials convicted of corruption and betraying the public trust. Unlike Rep. Max Rose, Nicole opposes H.R. 1 which would funnel billions of dollars in taxpayer money to candidates for federal office and, in states and municipalities across the country, led to the abuse of taxpayer money.
