We need someone in Congress who will deliver for Central NY & the Mohawk Valley. This is my home and I have a proven record:
☑️Creating jobs
☑️Bringing down costs
☑️Improving public safety
☑️Safeguarding women’s rights
That's why I'm running for

After today's count, it's clear that I have been chosen to serve as our next Senator. It's an honor for me and my family, but it's a victory for working people in Central New York who will finally have a Senator who can bring our voice and our values to Albany. Thank you!
SENATOR JOHN W. MANNION DECLARES VICTORY IN 50TH SENATE DISTRICT RACE
Judge orders the race to be certified with Mannion maintaining 10 vote lead following count, hand recount, and rulings on objected ballots
SYRACUSE, NY— Senator John W. Mannion today declared victory (1/2)
Update: Over 39,000 absentee ballots will be counted for SD50.
As of 4:30pm, only 6,562 (approx. 17%) votes were counted. We gained 2,238 votes with a 4400/2162 split. To win this election, we need 59.15% of the absentees. As of today, we received 67.05% of the absentee ballots.
SYRACUSE, NY— Senator John W. Mannion today surged ahead by 27 votes in the race for the 50th Senate District according to unofficial tabulations by the Onondaga and Oswego County Boards of Elections and media reports. This campaign never lets up & believes in the people of CNY!
I guess it's official -
@mannionfor50
will be our new Senator from the 50th District. Hip, hip, hooray! That seat has been vacant for too long, and now it will have a terrific occupant, and I'll have a great new colleague across the hall, across the city, and across CNY.
Today I cast my first vote to keep CNYers in their homes this winter by extending our emergency moratorium on evictions & home foreclosures. If you are someone who worries about losing your home or apartment or a property owner seeking emergency funding, call us 3154287632.
I’ve so many people to thank. We all need hugs & handshakes but that will come in due time. It was a blessing to enjoy today with just my family. “I got a smile on my face and I got four walls around me”. -Great Big Sea.

I have never been more convinced that regular working people (including teachers) should replace career politicians like Senator Flanagan. Calling teachers a 'force of evil' is out of touch & offensive.
Today, I pledged to uphold the constitutions of our state & country. It was great to see a number of friends, family and supporters to help celebrate this event, even if behind masks. Thanks to my wife Jennifer

Voting is always special to me, but today means more. All three of my children walked the halls of Cherry Road School, and I was proud to cast my ballot there today. I want to be your next state Senator to represent children just like them & families like ours here in Central NY!
Congratulations to NYS Senate Majority Leader,
@AndreaSCousins
, on being unanimously re-elected to her leadership position. She leads with integrity, decency and transparency. I participated in briefings, leadership elections today and also got some mail. Photo (2018).
Brandon Williams is worth $8 million but says he's "not independently wealthy," and has zero sympathy for workers about to lose their paychecks.
I'm a former public school teacher & union president.
I'll ALWAYS stand up for workers.
U.S. SENATOR KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND ENDORSES JOHN MANNION FOR STATE SENATE
Today, NY Senate candidate John Mannion announced the endorsement of US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Both highlighted the need for federal and state partnership to help recover from the effects of the pandemic.
The counting of absentee ballots starts up again tomorrow. Let me take this time to thank the dedicated volunteers and employees. 39k ballots will be counted for SD50. Only 9,641 (approx. 25%) of the absentee votes have been counted. To win we need 59.1%, we have received 68.6%.
I'm so thankful to have the support of

Our people powered campaign is 36 days away from victory! Thank you!
Looking forward to the start of absentee counting in Onondaga County for my race tomorrow. We’ve waited long enough, and it’s time for the voters to be heard, they decide elections. No senator for a year in SD50 during a pandemic and economic crisis. The votes must be counted.
I'm not a career politician. I don't come from money. I don't want to be rich, I don't want to be famous. What I want is for
#CNY
to once again be a place that gives hardworking people a chance.

Thank you to my staff, volunteers & supporters for their patience. My race remains too close to call, with a likely automatic hand recount and the addition of outstanding absentee ballots & affidavits to the final tally. This process may take several weeks.
Patience is a virtue
I spent 3 decades in the classroom as an AP Biology and 15:1:1 Living Environ. teacher & saw the impact that public education can have on a child’s life. It is an honor to be supported by the women & men in education, that are making an impact on the lives of children.
@nysut
(2/2) 39k ballots will be counted for SD50. Cayuga has completed their count. As of 12pm today, only 9,641 (approx. 25%) of the absentee votes have been counted. Ahead by 3,579 with a 6610/3031 split. To win this election, we need 59.1 of the absentees, we have received 68.6%.
Following a long campaign, and an aggressive absentee ballot program, I am confident that when the votes are counted I will have the privilege to serve as the next State Senator for our communtiy.
We are excited for this great group of freshmen Senators to join the Democratic Majority. Each built an impressive coalition and worked hard to secure their victory. They will do great things for their district and New York State. Congratulations and welcome to the supermajority!
(1/2) Senator John W. Mannion today maintained his edge in the race for SD-50 following the completion of hand recounts in Onondaga and Oswego Counties. There are a number of objected ballots (186) that need to be ruled on by the court before the results are final.

Happy National Daughter’s Day to mine. A daughter makes you more considerate, more thoughtful, work harder, because you never want to disappoint her. Our daughter always surprises us how she can tackle any new challenge with ease and grace, even when she makes sure we stay humble
Thank you to all of the observers and staff at the BOE. Today, the count was postponed for the time being, due to a potential exposure to COVID - 19. Right now, our focus is to make sure that everyone involved is safe. We want to take this time to show our appreciation & concern.

No Speaker of the House, no funding for Israel and Ukraine, and no farm bill, is apparently no problem for Brandon Williams. He’s taking the weekend off while those of us in
#NY22
continue to be hurt by his MAGA agenda.
🚨 Four million federal workers will go without pay if the government shuts down and Brandon Williams says there is no sympathy for them. Meanwhile, he says he will continue to take his salary despite being worth $8 million.

Yesterday, I toured Upstate Medical Center which functions as a university, a hospital & a research center. From a spectrum of services to research and training tomorrow’s healthcare providers, we are fortunate to have this institution here during such trying times.

Friendly reminder: Brandon Williams campaigned against the CHIPS and Science Act, which brought Micron to Central New York. Now he’s “honored to build on the success” of community leaders who helped bring them here.
He can’t have it both ways.

Let’s be clear: this is about women’s personal freedoms & ability to make their own decisions about their healthcare.

Endorsement Alert!
The National Organization for Women (NOW) New York has endorsed my candidacy for NYS Senate District 50.
I pledge to continue to fight for the rights of all women and girls, and I will work to pass critical legislation in Albany to support gender equity.
While Brandon Williams and Speaker McCarthy try to take credit for economic successes they actively opposed, I’m doing the real work that helps CNY businesses grow and thrive. I led the fight to pass Green Chips and land Micron.
I’m proud to have earned the endorsement New York State’s Bravest, the NYS PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS! Public sector employees, that help to keep us safe, need our support. I promise to continue my advocacy for public servants, especially Syracuse 280 & Auburn 1446
