Brandon’s service didn’t stop when he left the Navy, he fought to protect our country as a Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer and continues to fight for us as a Member of Congress.

Mannion: New Jobs 

  • In Congress Brandon Williams fought for and delivered tens of millions of dollars in federal funding to assist with local infrastructure across the district to address flooding issues, support local police departments, protect clean drinking water, improve community water systems and upgrade and expand public safety resources at Syracuse Hancock Airport. 
  • Brandon Williams has introduced in Congress a law to direct the EPA to carry out further improvement on Onondaga Lake for the purpose of integrating research, education, planning and restoration of the watershed and keeping our water supply safe and clean. 
  • While the United States faces constant threats from global adversaries including China, Russia and Iran, as a former Naval nuclear submarine officer — no one better understands the gravity of these threats more than Brandon Williams. We need Brandon’s military service and experience in Washington to address these threats and keep the United States strong and Americans safe.  
  • Brandon Williams is working to undo the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration and the Washington politicians who have created the crisis at the Southern border. This chaos has allowed violent criminals and deadly drugs such as fentanyl which killed over one hundred thousand Americans last year, to enter the United States and even make its way to Central New York. Brandon supports finishing the Border Wall, imposing limits on asylum eligibility and supporting our border patrol agents to keep you safe again.  
  • In Congress, Brandon Williams has fought to bring tax dollars back to Central New York including $15 million in Community Project Funding that benefits valuable local organizations including the Syracuse Children Rising Center, the Syracuse Housing Authority and the Museum of Science and Technology.

John Mannion, D-Geddes (50th Senate District) Mannion said he supports the governor’s plan to amend the 2019 bail laws. ‘Bail reform passed before I was elected, and I support making changes that will reduce crime and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods,’ he said. ‘I believe judges should have wider discretion particularly for repeat offenders. I’m encouraged by the governor’s proposal as a starting point for negotiations, and the dialogue with my colleagues has been constructive.’ Mannion said his overall objective is to keep people out of the criminal justice system by investing in schools, improving graduation rates, and making sure young people have paths to quality jobs and careers.”

Headline: NY parole officers discuss impact of ‘Less is More’ Act 

Link: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/rochester/news/2022/04/01/ny-parole-officers-discuss-less-is-more 

  • Pull quote: Gina Lopez, a parole officer with the New York State Department of Corrections, has been supervising parolees in the Rochester area for 15 years and is the Rochester leader for the New York State Parole Officers Division 236. … And Lopez believes victims were not considered. ‘One of the issues I have with “Less is More” is it forgets the victim of the crime,’ she said. ‘When you have a perpetrator and they go for sentencing, victims are notified. When they’re released on parole supervision, victims are notified that they’re going to get released to parole supervision. But none of the victims are ever notified that they are going to receive their “30 for 30.” So that includes sex offenders. There are sex offenders that got to “30 for 30” and none of the victims that were the victims of their crime were told that they were actually going to get their sentenced reduced. 

 

  • Pull quote: While some might think having fewer parolees would make the job of a parole officer easier, the parole officers who spoke with Spectrum News 1 say that’s not so. ‘We don’t believe it’s going to make our job easier,’ said Wayne Spence, president of Public Employees Federation. ‘We think that the caseloads are going to increase and it actually puts us more at risk.’ Spence fears the move will not help as Rochester has seen a rise in violent crime. ‘Rochester. Buffalo. Troy. New York. The City of New York are in for — are probably going to be in for — a very bloody summer if we don’t get this right,’ said Spence. ‘I hope I’m wrong.’” 

 

  • Pull quote: “‘So based on “Less is More” in the “30 for 30,” when it was signed into existence, what it did was it lifted warrants for parolees who had delinquent time, and it basically erased their delinquent time and allowed them to qualify for “30 for 30,” including if they had outstanding criminal charges within the court system,’ said Lopez. ‘And even those that were receiving “30 for 30,” some of our parolees were not compliant with parole supervision. Some were not compliant with treatment. Some were not compliant with sex offender treatment or even domestic violence.’”
