On October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy hit the shores of New York, taking lives and devastating neighborhoods. Nicole's State Assembly district was the hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy. Nicole immediately began delivering food, water and clothing, and organized clean-up efforts. She helped hundreds of families throughout the rebuilding process and earned national praise for her project restoring and returning recovered family photos.

In the State Assembly, Nicole led the effort to secure $151 million in state funding for the East Shore Sea Wall. Nicole also wrote a new state law protecting neighborhoods affected by Superstorm Sandy buy-outs from future development. In Congress, Nicole will continue her efforts to ensure the Sea Wall is constructed with no more delays and harden our region's defenses against future storms.
