Mannion Clinches 1st Major Flip for Democrats in Path to a Democratic Majority
(PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA) — Tonight, 314 Action Fund congratulates State Senator John Mannion on his major victory in New York’s 22nd Congressional District. A former science teacher, Congressman-elect Mannion defeated Rep. Brandon Williams to flip one of the most crucial House races this cycle, bringing Democrats 3 seats closer to a Democratic majority.
“Congratulations to Congressman-elect Mannion on flipping New York’s 22nd District,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President and Founder of 314 Action. “As a dad, science teacher, and State Senator, John fought to protect women’s reproductive freedoms, safeguard our democracy, and use data and facts to help tackle climate change in the state senate and we know he will lean into that experience to do the same in Congress. We’re proud to stand with John to flip this seat and can’t wait to see him get to work for the people of Central New York and the Mohawk Valley.”
314 Action Fund is at the forefront of the battle to flip the House this cycle. In addition to NY-22, the organization is backing STEM challengers to flip Republican seats in AZ-01, CA-27, NE-02, IA-01, and OR-05. The movement is powered by a grassroots community of over six million people working to elect scientists, doctors, and STEM professionals, up and down the ballot, who will use science and facts to address our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.
