I can’t say “thank you” enough times to everyone who pitched in to help meet our February fundraising goal. Together, we are building a campaign we can all be proud of. I’m pleased to say we have earned endorsements from 25 labor unions and dozens of elected officials and have thousands of grassroots supporters in our corner. In case you missed it, we’ve opened our campaign office in Syracuse, and The Cook Political Report just upgraded our race’s rating from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democrat.” But it’s clear that National Republicans are doubling down their efforts to stop us. Last month, the NRCC opened their “battle station” campaign office in Central New York, and MAGA Mike Johnson was in town to fundraise for our out-of-touch Wall Street millionaire opponent Rep. Brandon Williams. And in the wake of the ratings change, National Republican leaders are sending a clear message that they aren’t giving up this seat without a tough fight: [The Citizen ALERT | TOP STORY | POLITICS Stefanik, Zeldin among GOP leaders rallying behind Brandon Williams in new CNY district | Robert Harding March 1, 2024 | Despite pundits saying U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams will have a difficult path to reelection, national and state Republican leaders are renewing their support for the GOP congressman in his newly drawn central New York congressional district. U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, the No. 3 House Republican, and the chairs of the state Conservative and Republican parties are among those who released statements backing Williams, R-Sennett, in the 22nd Congressional District race. ]( {NAME}, make no mistake, we've still got our work cut out for us. And while this race is one of the top opportunities to pick up a House seat in the country, I'm not just running for Congress to defeat Brandon Williams and flip the House for Democrats. You see, I first ran for office after three decades as a public school science teacher because I was tired of seeing things move in the wrong direction. Funding cuts and misguided policies were making it harder for kids to learn. That’s why, with the backing of thousands of grassroots supporters like you, I ran for State Senate. And together, we proved that when we bring people together, we can deliver big results for Central New York and the Mohawk Valley. I’m proud of my record fighting for reproductive rights, fair pay for working families, and strong public schools here in New York. I know I can do the same in Congress with this amazing team on my side. Let’s keep going, John Democrat John Mannion is running for Congress in NY-22 to deliver results for the people of Central New York and the Mohawk Valley. A life-long Central New Yorker and grandson of Irish immigrants, John proudly represents the 50th District in the State Senate and has been a leader in passing legislation to create jobs, fighting for middle-class families, protecting reproductive rights, and standing up to far-right special interests. Prior to his election to the State Senate in 2020, John worked as a public school teacher for three decades and advocated for teachers and students as president of the West Genesee Teachers’ Association. John and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Geddes. They have three children: two in college and one recently graduated.
