On the eve of Election Day, Rep. Brandon Williams and State Sen. John Mannion crisscrossed Central New York in a final effort to connect with voters in the closely watched NY-22 congressional race. Both candidates spent Monday visiting multiple counties, rallying supporters, and addressing key issues that could influence undecided voters.
Williams, the Republican incumbent, focused on economic concerns, emphasizing inflation and what he called the need for a secure border and stronger crime measures. “Families are worried about inflation and safety,” he said, highlighting his stance on cashless bail reforms.
Mannion, the Democratic challenger, centered his message on protecting reproductive rights, strengthening democracy, and making New York more affordable. Both candidates plan to visit polling sites on Election Day, with a bipartisan lunch planned at Our Lady of Pompeii, underscoring a shared commitment to public service beyond politics.
