<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Vote for Lamanna in Primary, June 23&nbsp;</span></h2><p>Joe Lamanna is truly the best candidate for Assembly District 130. Not only because he’s a nice guy, and he is, but for a litany of sensible reasons.</p><p>His work experience as a manager and problem solver in manufacturing; his leadership skills as a union steward and president representing 250+ professionals in Albany and Washington D.C.; his educational background with engineering and political science degrees as well as an MBA; and his public service as a Williamson Planning Board member, Chairman on the Board of Assessment Review, and a Volunteer Firefighter all contribute to the skills he’ll take to Albany on our behalf. He says he’s a do-er and not a politician.</p><p>However, it’s his adept&nbsp;listening skills that&nbsp;I have witnessed that&nbsp;are what I believe he&nbsp;brings to the table which&nbsp;are an essential quality&nbsp;in a successful assemblyman.&nbsp;Joe listens and hears&nbsp;our concerns. He understands</p><p>our frustrations at Albany’s blind eye to our district’s needs. And, Joe will not only bring our voices to be heard in Albany but then do the work necessary with everyone at the table to find common ground and secure viable solutions that will serve and benefit this district.</p><p>District 130 need not be an Albany afterthought. Joe Lamanna brings experience, integrity, honesty, and clear minded sensibility that can make the difference in all of our daily lives. With his leadership security for and hope in a brighter future for each of us is possible. </p><p>Georgina Clancy, Williamson</p><p><br></p>

When property taxes keep climbing but classrooms are stretched thin. When young people leave because they cannot afford to stay, and seniors on fixed incomes watch costs rise without end.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">This is not about left versus right. It is about people who work for a living versus a system that keeps tilting toward the very top.</strong></span></p><p>While families in Wayne County and Webster balance groceries, heating bills, and gas just to get to work, a small group at the top keeps rewriting the rules to benefit themselves. They keep us arguing with each other so we stop asking why the deck is stacked against us. They use outrage to divide neighbors who actually want the same things: good schools, affordable healthcare, safe communities, and a fair shot for our kids. As long as we are pointing fingers at each other, no one is holding the powerful accountable.</p><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/04d1a286-5da3-4943-8d88-3d2fffc9031e/04d1a286-5da3-4943-8d88-3d2fffc9031e.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4032%2C3024&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Interview with co-founder of Good Conflict" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Interview with co-founder of Good Conflict</span></span><p><strong>That divide is intentional. And it is working.</strong></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">But upstate New York has never backed down from a fight — and neither have I. </strong></span>As an elected union president, my job was not rhetoric. It was results. I negotiated to protect wages, healthcare, and retirement security. I defended workers facing unfair discipline. I fought for safer workplaces and fair schedules so families could plan their lives with dignity.</p><p>That experience taught me something simple: when working people are not at the table, working people lose.</p><p>We are underdogs, and we know it. But this district was built by farmers, tradespeople, small business owners, and families who show up for each other. When we stand together as neighbors - not as labels - we are stronger than any political machine. <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);">And that unity is exactly what scares them.</span></p><p>I am running to bring practical judgment and accountability back to this district. Not to divide neighbors or chase headlines, but to make sure the people who keep this community running are never again treated as an afterthought.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">What I Believe</h2><p>District 130 deserves someone who shows up with a backbone and a clear sense of what they stand for. So here it is, plain and simple.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-Constitution.</strong></span>&nbsp;All of it. Not just the parts that are politically convenient this week. The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, due process, equal protection - the whole document. The Constitution isn't a menu you order from. It's the foundation everything else rests on, and I'll defend it that way.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-rule of law.</strong></span>&nbsp;Nobody is above it. Not a politician in Albany. Not a corporation with a good lobbyist. Not anyone. When the law applies to everyone equally, communities like ours are safer, fairer, and stronger. The moment we start making exceptions for the powerful, we lose everything that makes this country worth fighting for.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-working family.</strong>&nbsp;</span>The family running a farm in Williamson. The nurse driving 40 minutes to Newark-Wayne. The welder who went through BOCES and built a life here without a college degree. These are the people this district is made of, and every decision I make in Albany runs through one question: does this make their life better or harder?</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-local control.</strong></span>&nbsp;The people closest to a problem almost always understand it better than someone in a state office building 250 miles away. I'll fight to keep decision-making in the hands of towns, villages, and counties — not handed over to Albany bureaucracies that have never set foot here.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-free press and open government.</strong></span>&nbsp;Democracy only works when people know what their government is actually doing. I'll vote for transparency, support a free press, and publish my own record openly — because sunlight is the best accountability tool there is.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-environment, pro-common sense.</strong>&nbsp;</span>I believe in clean water, clean air, and protecting the Lake Ontario shoreline and farmland that define this district. I also believe environmental policy has to work for the people who live on that land, not just for the people who vacation near it.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-veteran.</strong></span>&nbsp;This district sent people to serve. We owe them healthcare, housing, mental health support, and the respect of actually funding those commitments instead of just putting a bumper sticker on a truck.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-small business.</strong></span>&nbsp;The hardware store in Palmyra. The diner in Lyons. The farm stand on Route 31. These businesses are the economic backbone of this district, and I'll fight every regulation, every mandate, and every tax that makes it harder for them to stay open.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-dignity.</strong>&nbsp;</span>Every person in this district — regardless of where they were born, what they look like, or how they vote — deserves to be treated with basic human dignity. That's not a political position. That's just being a decent person.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Pro-truth.</strong></span>&nbsp;I won't tell you what you want to hear if it isn't true. I won't promise what I can't deliver. And when I'm wrong, I'll say so.</p>

My parents taught me the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and perseverance. My father started as a barber before opening his own shop, and my mother worked long hours as a punch press operator. After school, I would go to my father’s barbershop to shine shoes and sweep floors. That small shop taught me the importance of showing up, earning respect, and taking pride in honest work.</p><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 30%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/55b68567-fb27-4e2c-a302-d8064e01d402/55b68567-fb27-4e2c-a302-d8064e01d402.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C720%2C960&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Joe and his granddaughters" align="left" alignwidth="30" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Joe and his granddaughters</span></span><p>At 18, just before graduation, I was forced to leave home. Instead of giving up, I went to work, opened Lamanna’s Auto, and studied for my GED at Holy Family Church in Camillus, NY. That experience shaped who I am. It taught me resilience, humility, and what it means to build something from the ground up.</p><p>Over time, I worked my way up through Chrysler and later Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, now Stellantis, serving in engineering, quality, manufacturing, management, and strategic planning roles. My work took me across the country and around the world, where I helped improve strategic goals and business initiatives by improving efficiency, processes, supply chains and budgeting. After 34 years, I retired in 2018 after overseeing major projects and programs.</p><p>While working full time, I earned degrees in Engineering and Political Science, along with a Master of Business Administration. I am also the founder and president of Advanced Innovative Solutions; an engineering consulting firm focused on solving complex technical challenges.</p><p>Throughout my career, I also served in leadership roles with several UAW locals, representing engineering, clerical, and administrative professionals. As a union steward, chairman, president, and Community Action Program Chairman, I helped negotiate labor agreements, advocate for workers, and work with local, state, and federal officials on legislative advocacy that strengthen communities and protect American jobs.</p><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-left" style="width: 32%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/132428f9-edaa-4f57-bdbb-ed78029145d2/c7c7f051-b7a0-49ca-926e-e7345058ba3c.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4096%2C3072&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Joe at UAW negotiations" align="right" alignwidth="32" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Joe at UAW negotiations</span></span><p>Public service has always been personal to me. As a volunteer firefighter, I serve alongside my neighbors to help protect lives and property. I also serve on the Williamson Town Planning Board, Board of Assessment Review, and as an alternate member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. These roles have shown me how important local decisions are to families, neighborhoods, farms, small businesses, and the future of our communities.</p><p>My wife, Suzie, and I are both originally from Syracuse where we met in the early 2000s; we have four adult children and six grandchildren. For the past decade, we have proudly called District 130 home. We were drawn here by the rural character, strong communities, and the beauty of Lake Ontario.</p><p>I believe District 130’s strength comes from the people who keep it running: farmers, small business owners, teachers, first responders, town workers, mechanics, construction crews, nurses, and retirees. You are the backbone of this district, and you deserve a representative who respects your work and listens to your voice.</p><p>I am not a career politician. I am a problem solver with real-world experience, a record of service, and a deep commitment to this community. I am running to protect the character of our towns, support responsible development, strengthen our economy, and make sure Wayne County and Webster is heard in Albany.</p><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 25%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/09af2ca7-f230-43a5-91f3-b9b2f71d3c8f/09af2ca7-f230-43a5-91f3-b9b2f71d3c8f.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C720%2C960&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Joe and his wife Suzie" align="left" alignwidth="25" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Joe and his wife Suzie</span></span><p>With your support, I will make sure District 130 is neither forgotten nor left behind by Albany.

I will direct you to his website,&nbsp;<a href="http://electlamanna.com">electlamanna.com</a>, to discover for yourself his experience and plans to help our district in Albany. He is a man I put my full trust in as a friend, a human being who is kind, considerate, and hard-working.</p><p>If all of the Democrats who live in Webster and Wayne County come out to vote rather than let fear and belief that winning is hopeless, we can do this.

Election time again. Door hangers, phone calls, posters, fliers, speeches etc. How many people really enjoy this process?</p><p>And yet, it is one of the most important elements of living in a democracy. We, the people, have the opportunity to choose who will advocate for our needs and interests, who will work to solve our problems, and who will ensure that we have a seat at the table. Because of the chaos and dysfunction of the federal government it has never been more critical to chose state representatives who will serve their constituents well.</p><p>The candidate who best&nbsp;fulfills that role is&nbsp;Joe Lamanna. Joe is not&nbsp;a career politician; however,&nbsp;his years of union leadership&nbsp;and business expertise&nbsp;have given him the skillsto negotiate on our behalf.&nbsp;His service on various&nbsp;town boards is demonstrative&nbsp;of his engagement with&nbsp;local civic issues. A&nbsp;member of the volunteerfire department, he “walks the talk” of valuing community service. Joe is smart, dedicated, and authentic. He talks TO people, not AT them. He hears and understands the concerns of the people of the 130th Assembly District and is determined to bring our voice to Albany, make them listen, and make them respond to our challenges: the cost of living; public safety; jobs, economic growth, small business support; access to healthcare; infrastructure. Upstate NY has been an afterthought to Albany for too long. Joe means to change that. Check out his website for more information. </p><p>-Vicki Pawlick Williamson NY<br></p>

<h1>Issues</h1>

<h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">In upstate New York, this has happened before...</span></h4><p>In the early 1800s, farmers, laborers, and canal workers were told the economy was not their concern. Decisions were made by powerful interests in Albany and New York City. Profits flowed one way. Risk flowed the other.</p><h5>But something changed when working people pushed back.</h5><p>Local farmers, merchants, and laborers pushed for public investment instead of private control.</p><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/1539bf44-5182-449b-af3a-50e74aaf9635/1539bf44-5182-449b-af3a-50e74aaf9635.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1622%2C1022&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p>The result was the&nbsp;<strong>Erie Canal</strong>, which ran directly through Wayne County towns like Palmyra and Lyons. It broke monopolies, lowered costs, and gave working people access to markets they had never had before.</p><p>Later, the Finger Lakes became a center of reform movements that asked the same basic question in different ways. Who gets a voice? Who sets the rules? Who benefits from the system? From labor organizing to the push for broader civic participation, change here never came from the top handing it down. It came from neighbors insisting on fairness.</p><p>When corporations grew so powerful they bent the rules in their favor, a New Yorker named <strong>Theodore Roosevelt</strong>&nbsp;took them on in the NYS Assembly. He believed concentrated power was a threat to democracy, whether it sat in government or in boardrooms. He used public authority to restore balance.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">That is the NY I know and want for my neigbors and family.</span></p><h4>Not chaos. Not political division.</h4><h4><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">Every major step forward here came when ordinary people refused to accept a system that only worked for the few and insisted it work for the many.</span></h4><p>That moment always looks uncomfortable to those at the top.</p><p>And it always feels overdue to everyone else.</p><p>But that instinct is still right.

From farmers to factory workers, nurses to teachers, and many others, the 130th District works hard! Joe Lamanna is no stranger to work, and our communities need Joe to work for us!</p><p>Throughout his career&nbsp;Joe demonstrated his dedication&nbsp;to enriching lives around&nbsp;him. With nearly 2 decades&nbsp;as a representative for&nbsp;the UAW, Joe was not afraid&nbsp;to take on an auto giant&nbsp;in Chrysler, to fight&nbsp;for what his fellow workers&nbsp;on the shop floor needed.&nbsp;Through negotiating contracts&nbsp;and holding his employer&nbsp;accountable, Joe fought&nbsp;to protect what was important&nbsp;to the district, ensuring&nbsp;rising wages, providing&nbsp;a retirement that lasts,&nbsp;fighting for meaningful</p><p>affordable healthcare, and keeping jobs in New York!</p><p>Joe has a character that you will see in the working men and women of the 130th district. Joe’s selfless fighting for those around him is what the NY assembly needs to remember our strength!</p><p>These coming elections, my support for Joe Lamanna to work for the people of the 130th district stands strong. The support of the International Association of Machinists District 65, Local 588, and myself as a resident of the 130th district, doesn’t come to Joe because of an R or a D. It comes from Joe’s dedication to fighting for what is right.

<h2>From the Factory Floor to Strategic Leadership</h2><p>Joe is not a career politician. He is an <strong>engineer, labor leader, volunteer firefighter, and local public servant</strong> who has spent decades fixing complex problems and standing up for working people. He knows Upstate communities need more than slogans and broken promises. They need leadership that understands jobs, taxes, emergency services, infrastructure, and the pressures facing families every day. Joe is running for Assembly to bring practical judgment, fiscal discipline, and a steady voice for Wayne County and Webster.</p><span class="image image-framed image-center image-tilt-left" style="width: 65%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/8df557d4-5267-4c26-b9e7-4f56f320ef95/8df557d4-5267-4c26-b9e7-4f56f320ef95.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=23&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2871%2C2153&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="32.5" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span>

<h4>Joe Lamanna, enters race for 130th Assembly seat</h4>

<h4>Vote Lamanna because our lives depend on it</h4>

<p>"In Williamson, a deeply conservative Wayne County town where I live, something unusual happened last fall: a number of Republicans backed a Democratic candidate for local office. How did a Democrat earn support from Republicans in a small town where Donald Trump won 64 percent of the 2024 presidential vote?"</p>

<h4>A path beyond polarization in a small town</h4>

<p>This district sits on the shore of one of the greatest freshwater resources on the planet. Lake Ontario is not a backdrop. It's a drinking water source, an economic engine for fishing and tourism, a defining feature of life in Sodus Point, Fair Haven, and Williamson. And right now it's under pressure from multiple directions.</p><p>Lake Ontario experiences a combination of excess nutrients in nearshore areas and nutrient decline in open waters. Too much phosphorus in the nearshore causes excessive algae growth, while low levels offshore affect the entire food web. Phosphorus from fertilizers, detergents, and organic waste promotes algal blooms that deplete oxygen in the water and harm aquatic life. Stormwater runoff carries oil, grease, salt, and pollutants directly into waterways.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/canada-water-agency/freshwater-ecosystem-initiatives/great-lakes/great-lakes-protection/taking-action-protect/preventing-toxic-nuisance-algae.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Canada.ca</a><a href="https://www.greenventure.ca/blog_water_pollution_in_lake_ontario" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Venture</a></p><p>We've seen what happens when this goes wrong. In 2014, a toxic algal bloom shut down the drinking water supply for half a million people in Toledo, Ohio — a Lake Erie community not very different from ours. That's not a distant cautionary tale. That's the direction we're heading if we ignore the warning signs.</p><p>Here's what I'll do:</p><p>I'll push for a dedicated state fund for agricultural runoff reduction in Lake Ontario shoreline counties. The phosphorus coming off farm fields is a major driver of nearshore algae problems, and we can address it through incentivized cover cropping, buffer zone programs, and smarter fertilizer timing — without putting farmers out of business. I'll bring farmers and environmentalists to the same table and find the middle ground.</p><p>I'll advocate for upgrades to municipal stormwater systems in Wayne County towns. When it rains hard in Sodus or Williamson, what runs off the streets goes somewhere. Right now in too many places, it goes straight to the lake.</p><p>I'll fight to keep the IJC accountable not just for water levels but for water quality, and I'll push for state investment in water quality monitoring infrastructure along the Wayne County shoreline so we catch problems early instead of after the damage is done.</p><p>And I'll make sure the state's Clean Water Infrastructure Act dollars actually reach rural counties like ours — because too often that money gets captured by larger municipalities with more lobbyists and better grant writers.</p>

<h4>Water Quality and Lake Ontario - Clean Water Is Not a Political Issue. It's a Survival Issue.</h4>

<h4>Lamanna has the skills to work on our behalf</h4>

<p>Let me be direct: the federal government's tariff policies are hitting the farms of Wayne County hard.</p><p>The New York Farm Bureau has been clear — they oppose tariffs. Canola meal that feeds dairy cows comes from Canada and is now more expensive. Farm equipment parts cross the border multiple times before reaching a farm, and each crossing adds tariff costs. Energy costs are going up. And a 25 percent tariff on aluminum has a potentially devastating impact on farming operations that depend on it for equipment and infrastructure.&nbsp;<a href="https://nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-politics/new-york/news/2025/03/13/new-york-farm-bureau--tariffs-on-ag-will-impact-farmers-and-consumers-" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nystateofpolitics</a></p><p>New York's dairy and apple farms are grappling with rising costs, tariffs, and fluctuating market prices all at the same time. These farms are not corporations with hedging desks and financial cushions. They are family operations where a bad year means a real conversation about whether to sell the land.&nbsp;<a href="https://nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-politics/new-york/news/2025/08/25/new-york-farm-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nystateofpolitics</a></p><p>Here's where I'll put my energy at the state level:</p><p>I'll push for a state agricultural emergency relief fund that can be activated quickly when federal trade policy creates sudden cost shocks — not a slow-moving grant program that arrives after the damage is done.</p><p>I'll advocate for state-level buy-local procurement policies that guarantee Wayne County farms a percentage of state institutional purchasing — schools, prisons, hospitals, state facilities. When federal export markets dry up, the state should be absorbing some of that production.</p><p>I'll work to expand the farm-to-shelf pipeline I've already proposed so that local distribution infrastructure is strong enough that Wayne County farmers aren't entirely dependent on volatile export markets to survive a bad trade year.</p><p>I'll fight to make crop insurance and disaster assistance programs easier to access for small and mid-size farms that don't have the staff to navigate complex federal paperwork.</p><p>And I'll be loud in Albany about the fact that trade wars have consequences for real people in real places — and that the people growing food in Wayne County deserve to have that said out loud by someone who represents them.</p>
