Senator John W. Mannion thanks his staff during farewell speech in NY Senate Chamber
New York Democrats quietly dismissed harassment allegations against state Sen. John Mannion — who is running in a closely watched congressional race — but are refusing to provide details of the independent investigation.
The accuser said they identified several people who could corroborate some of their claims, but that those people were never contacted. Mannion, a state senator representing the 50th district, which encompasses Syracuse suburbs and Oswego, is now running in a primary in the 22nd Congressional District — a race widely believed to be Democrats’ best chance at flipping a seat in New York in the November election.
“It is up to them if they want to release it,” said Erica Vladimer, co-founder of the Sexual Harassment Working Group established by former legislative staffers. “This finding does not clear Mannion of the concern regarding a hostile work place raised by his former staffers, and does not change the fact that so many former staffers felt compelled to speak out about their experiences—at great personal and professional cost,” a spokesperson for Williams wrote in a statement.
