Republican Nick Paro has a good shot to win the 50th state Senate District, which Democratic incumbent state Sen. John Mannion is giving up to run for Congress. Liam O'Connor
New York, the contest for the 50th state Senate District could determine whether Democrats maintain their supermajority in the chamber. With no wiggle room for Democrats heading into the election, Republicans’ best opportunity to break the supermajority may be to flip this vacant seat, which they nearly won back two years ago.
Democrat Chris Ryan, the former minority leader of the Onondaga County Legislature, is looking to replace state Sen. John Mannion, who is giving up the seat to run for Congress. Ryan is taking on Republican Nick Paro, the Salina town supervisor, who is attempting to take back a district previously long held by the GOP. Although the district changed significantly in redistricting, Republicans came very close to victory in 2022, when Mannion won his second term by just 10 votes.
