John Mannion defeats Brandon Williams in New York's 22nd Congressional District, ending GOP dominance

Democrat John Mannion has won the race for New York's 22nd Congressional District, defeating Republican Rep. Brandon Williams with 54% of the vote. This marks the first Democratic win in the district since 2012. Mannion's victory comes after a significant redistricting that made the area slightly more Democratic. The district has historically leaned Republican, despite a Democratic voter advantage and support for Democratic presidential candidates. Mannion, a former teacher and state senator, will be sworn in as a member of Congress in January. The 22nd District includes Syracuse and parts of several counties.
