The Police Benevolent Association Of The New York State Troopers (Nystpba) Endorses John Mannion For Congress In Ny-22

More than 7,000 active and retired uniformed members of the New York State Police from the rank of Trooper through the rank of Major are represented by the NYSTPBA
SYRACUSE, NY – The Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers endorses Senator John W. Mannion (D-Syracuse) in his campaign for Congress in NY-22 to unseat Representative Brandon Williams.
Charles Murphy, President of NYSTPBA said, “The Police Benevolent Association of the New York State Troopers is proud to announce our endorsement of John Mannion for Congress in New York’s 22nd Congressional District. As a union president then State Senator, John has worked with partners at all levels of government and with a diverse group of community leaders to deliver for Central New York and the Mohawk Valley. On behalf of the 7,000 active and retired uniformed members of the New York State Police represented by our union, we are proud to stand with John, and we look forward to helping him get elected to Congress in 2024.”
Senator John Mannion, candidate for NY-22 said, “I am so grateful to have the strong support of the New York State Troopers. Members of the NYSTPBA put their own safety on the line to protect our communities in Central New York and the Mohawk Valley every day, and they deserve a member of Congress who will fight for the resources they need to do their jobs. With the troopers, teachers, public employees, transit workers, and many other workers and elected officials supporting our campaign, we are building a broad coalition of support, and I am honored that they have put their trust in me to deliver for them in Congress.”
The National Journal ranked Brandon Williams the 6th most vulnerable Member of Congress in the country: “The most publicly conservative among the vulnerable New York Republicans, Williams notched a 2-point victory over Francis Conole last year. Williams skates under the radar, but Democratic operatives see a prime opportunity in the Biden-won, Syracuse-area seat.”
