Q&A: John Mannion answers questions about race for Congress

Syracuse, N.Y. – State Sen. John Mannion, a Democrat campaigning for Congress in Central New York, will answer questions in a live Q and A with syracuse.com at 11 a.m. today.

The Q and A interview will be streamed live at the top of this article and on the syracuse.com Facebook page. A recording will be available for viewing after the live event.

Mannion, D-Geddes, will join syracuse.com reporter Kevin Tampone in our Syracuse office to answer questions for about 30 minutes.

Mannion is challenging Rep. Brandon Williams, R-Sennett, in the 22nd Congressional District election. Williams participated in a Q and A last week.

Williams, 57, is a first-term House member who will appear on the Republican and Conservative Party ballot lines in November.

Mannion, 56, is a two-term state Senator. He will appear on the Democratic and Working Families Party ballot lines.

The 22nd District election is among the most competitive House races in the nation this year. Democrats and Republicans view the district as a key to winning control of the House.

The district spans all of Onondaga and Madison counties, and parts of Cayuga, Cortland and Oneida counties.
