NY-22 IS RATED THE MOST FLIPPABLE SEAT THIS CYCLE VERSUS ENDANGERED MAGA EXTREMIST BRANDON WILLIAMS
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA — Today, 314 Action, the premier organization electing Democratic scientists to public office, endorsed State Sen. John Mannion in New York’s 22nd Congressional district versus embattled MAGA GOP Congressman Brandon Williams.
“314 Action Fund is thrilled to endorse John Mannion because he will always put the interests of middle class working families first, lower the cost of prescription drugs, and build an economy that will create good paying jobs for central New York,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, Founder and President of 314 Action. “As a dad, science teacher, and state senator, John will fight to protect women’s reproductive freedoms, safeguard our democracy, and use data and facts to help tackle climate change. We’re proud to stand with John to flip this seat blue in November.”
“I’m proud to have 314 Action Fund’s support in our fight to build an economy that works for middle class families, protect women’s reproductive freedoms, safeguard our democracy, and make data informed decisions to tackle climate change,” said State Sen. John Mannion. “314 Action has a proven track record of electing scientists to public office, and I’m grateful for their support to help flip this district. Our campaign has generated significant momentum and look forward to working together to defeat MAGA extremist Brandon Williams this November.”

Syracuse Post-Standard: Pro-science group pours $600K into Central NY aiming to unseat Rep. Brandon Williams
“A national political group whose goal is to elect scientists to Congress is planning a $600,000 advertising blitz in Central York to support John Mannion in his bid to unseat Rep. Brandon Williams.”
“The 314 Action Fund is the first independent political group outside of those tied to the major political parties to announce its plans in the 22nd District. The election battle between Mannion, a two-term Democratic state senator, and Williams, a first-term Republican, is expected to be one of the most competitive House races in the nation this fall.”
“…The Washington, D.C.-based group is backing about a dozen House challengers and helping to protect seven House incumbents this year, all Democrats. Naughton said the group identified Williams’ 22nd District seat as its top pick-up opportunity in the November election.”
“…Naughton said her group is backing Mannion because he spent nearly three decades as a science teacher, including 21 years as an Advanced Placement biology and chemistry teacher in the West Genesee School District.”
