Signing the pledge were John Avlon (NY-01), Tom Suozzi (NY-03), Laura Gillen (NY-04), Mondaire Jones (NY-17), Pat Ryan (NY-18), Josh Riley (NY-19) and John Mannion (NY-22).

From January through June of 2024, the Mid-Hudson Region Office (MHRO) will lend our efforts to help John Mannion win the Congressional Primary in Central New York.
