Our campaign is rooted in a simple promise: Put community first. We believe local government should be transparent, responsive and focused on the everyday needs of the people who live here.

What Matters To Williamson

IconCheckSquare2

We'll continue to champion the police, volunteer EMS and fire departments that keep us safe - ensuring they have the resources and respect they deserve.

Supporting First Responders

From roads to water systems - I'll stay connected to workforce and capabilities and prioritize practical solutions that improve our quality of life.

Fixing What's Broken

I'm against decisions being made behind closed doors with your tax dollars. We'll bring accountability and open communication and engage in regular town halls.

Trust in Leadership

Whether you've lived here for generations, or just moved in your voice matters. I'll listen, include, and act with fairness. Parks, recreation and community events will be a priority.

Community

I will continue to support the backbone of our district by protecting our farms, supporting local growers, and agricultural innovation.

Agriculture

I believe in building a community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed - whether on the farm, in business, or in the classroom.

<h1>Something is broken, and you feel it right here at home.</h1><img src="https://run.imgix.net/11568830-46fb-4139-9037-495a4b938223/b27fb7f1-e64a-4150-b0a4-781d46020ce3/b27fb7f1-e64a-4150-b0a4-781d46020ce3.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%2C1024%2C1024&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">You feel it when a full day of work still does not stretch far enough. 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.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.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.<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">Interview with co-founder of Good ConflictThat divide is intentional. And it is working.But upstate New York has never backed down from a fight — and neither have I. 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.That experience taught me something simple: when working people are not at the table, working people lose.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. And that unity is exactly what scares them.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.

My parents believed deeply in hard work and personal responsibility. My father began as a barber and eventually opened his own shop. My mother worked long hours as a punch press operator. Their sacrifices taught me the value of perseverance and the dignity of work. I started school in Solvay, NY. After class, I would head to my father’s barbershop to shine shoes and sweep floors. That small shop was my first classroom. It taught me the importance of showing up, earning respect, and taking pride in a job well done.&nbsp;At age 18…just one month before graduation…I was forced to leave home. Instead of giving up, I went to work. I opened my own automotive repair shop (Lamanna’s Auto) while studying for my GED at Holy Family Church in Camillus, NY. That experience shaped me for life. I learned resilience, humility, and what it means to build something from nothing.&nbsp;<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="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Joe and his granddaughtersMy professional career began on the shop floor at New Process Gear, a Chrysler facility, where I worked second shift as a machine operator. During the day, I worked as a Quality Engineer at CR Manufacturing. I held two jobs because Chrysler provided the health benefits my young family relied on. That period gave me a deep respect for blue-collar workers and the sacrifices families make to get by. Over time, I worked my way up at New Process Gear (Chrysler Corp.) as an Engineering Development Technician, Quality Analyst, Quality Engineer, and later Manufacturing Engineer. When the plant was sold in 2009, I transferred to Chrysler’s facility in Trenton, Michigan. There, I served as a Tool Engineer and later Assembly Engineer for three engine platforms. After a year, I was promoted to Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager at Toledo Machining in Toledo, Ohio, and soon after to Corporate Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager, and finally to Strategic Planning Manager. In these roles, I traveled across the country and around the world, improving efficiency, standardizing processes, consolidating equipment, and supporting American jobs. After 34 years, I retired from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Stellantis) in 2018, overseeing hundred-million-dollar projects and programs.&nbsp;Throughout my career, I also served in leadership roles with several UAW locals, representing hundreds of engineering, clerical, and administrative professionals. I negotiated labor agreements at both local and national levels and served as a union steward, chairman, and ultimately president…standing up for workers and helping bridge the gap between labor, management, and government. I have also worked closely with local, state, and federal officials in Syracuse, Albany, and Washington, D.C., as a UAW Community Action Program Chairman, advocating for economic policies that strengthen communities and protect American jobs.<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="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Joe at UAW negotiationsPublic service has always been personal to me. As a volunteer firefighter, I have the honor of serving alongside my neighbors to protect lives and property. It is incredibly rewarding to help others and it reinforces my belief that strong communities are built by people willing to step up for one another.&nbsp;While working full‑time, I earned degrees in Engineering, Political Science, and a Master of Business Administration…education that deepened my belief in thoughtful planning, collaboration, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.Today, I remain active in civic life. I serve on the Williamson Town Planning Board, as Chairman of the Board of Assessment Review, and as an alternate member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. I am also the founder and president of Advanced Innovative Solutions, an engineering consulting firm focused on solving complex technical challenges. These roles have given me a clear understanding of how local decisions shape the future of our families and communities.&nbsp;<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="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Joe and his wife SuzieAlthough my career took me around the country and the world, I have always been a New Yorker. I grew up in the Syracuse area, and for the past decade, my wife Susan and I have proudly called District 130 home. We were drawn here by the rural character, the strength of our communities, and the beauty of Lake Ontario…values worth protecting. I believe New York’s greatest strength is its people: farmers, small business owners, teachers, first responders, town workers, mechanics, construction crews, nurses, and shop workers. You are the backbone of this district. You deserve representation that respects your work and listens to your voice. I am not a career politician. I am a problem solver who cares deeply about this community. I will fight for responsible development, stand up for every voice, and work to ensure our neighborhoods remain safe, vibrant places where families can thrive.&nbsp;With your support, I will make sure District 130 is neither forgotten nor left behind by Albany. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous, and more united future for our communities.&nbsp;Respectfully,Joe

About Joe

Issues

<h3>In upstate New York, this has happened before...</h3>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.<h4>But something changed when working people pushed back.</h4>Local farmers, merchants, and laborers pushed for public investment instead of private control.<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">The result was the&nbsp;Erie Canal, 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.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.When corporations grew so powerful they bent the rules in their favor, a New Yorker named Theodore Roosevelt&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.That is the NY I know and want for my neigbors and family.<h3>Not chaos. Not political division.</h3><h3>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.</h3>That moment always looks uncomfortable to those at the top.And it always feels overdue to everyone else.But that instinct is still right. And it is still necessary to Uplift Upstate!

Safety in towns and villages is a major concern for people across the political spectrum. Residents want effective public safety policies that protect communities but also respect rights. They want more resources for local law enforcement, clearer sentencing laws, and programs that reduce repeat crimes without overburdening local budgets.&nbsp;

"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?"

A path beyond polarization in a small town

What I'll Do:<ul><li>Expand&nbsp;reliable high-speed broadband&nbsp;so students can learn, businesses can operate, and telehealth can function across the district</li><li>Fight for funding to upgrade aging&nbsp;water and sewer systems&nbsp;that worry homeowners and strain local budgets</li><li>Make sure infrastructure funding reaches&nbsp;rural and suburban communities, not just population centers</li><li>Treat broadband and basic utilities as essential infrastructure, not optional upgrades</li></ul>

Better roads, bridges and broadband access are top priorities. Reliable high-speed internet is essential for education, work, telehealth and business growth, yet gaps persist across upstate areas. People want state leadership to ensure modern infrastructure reaches every community and that water systems and other essential services are upgraded and funded.&nbsp;

Infrastructure and Rural Services&nbsp;

What I'll do:<ul><li>Support&nbsp;small businesses in places like Lyons, Newark, Macedon, and Webster that anchor local economies</li><li>Encourage job creation that fits rural and suburban communities, not one-size-fits-all policies</li><li>Help keep&nbsp;young people in the region&nbsp;by attracting employers that offer stable, well-paying jobs</li><li>Reduce unnecessary regulatory barriers that make it harder for local businesses to grow and hire</li><li>Strengthen workforce training programs tied directly to real employers in the region</li></ul>

In a largely rural district, people want state support for job creation, stronger rural economic development, and help for local small businesses to grow and compete. Broader economic uncertainty makes employment stability a top concern, along with incentives that keep wages up and attract employers.&nbsp;

Jobs, Economic Growth and Support for Small Business

What I'll Do:<ul><li>Protect and stabilize&nbsp;local healthcare providers&nbsp;so residents do not have to travel hours for basic care</li><li>Improve access to healthcare for&nbsp;seniors and aging populations, especially in rural towns</li><li>Expand&nbsp;mental health services&nbsp;and reduce wait times for care</li><li>Support nursing homes and community facilities under financial strain so families are not forced to leave their communities</li><li>Keep healthcare decisions focused on patient access and local needs, not distant systems</li><li>Support increased healthcare acess to Veterans</li></ul>

Healthcare access is an ongoing issue, particularly for older adults in rural parts of the district. Statewide patterns show nursing homes and rural health facilities under strain, and many locals want stronger Medicaid support, better reimbursements so facilities stay open, and more services for aging residents without forcing them to travel far from home.&nbsp;

Healthcare Access and Services

What i'll do:<ul><li>Address rising&nbsp;property taxes&nbsp;that are pricing seniors and long-time residents out of homes they have lived in for decades</li><li>Push back on&nbsp;unfunded state mandates&nbsp;that drive up local taxes in towns, villages, and school districts</li><li>Focus state spending on essentials like classrooms, roads, and public safety instead of bureaucracy</li><li>Provide targeted relief for&nbsp;working families and fixed-income seniors&nbsp;struggling with utilities, heating costs, childcare, and transportation</li><li>Make affordability a statewide priority so rural and suburban communities are not left carrying the burden alone</li><li>Explore a technology park/innovation hub to attract high-quality, tech-based jobs.</li><li>Negotiate with stakeholders for a full service grocery store in rural areas</li><li>Aggressively advocate for funding to District 130 such as, Empire Economic development, rural revitalization, Restore NY, and others that our communities could benefit from</li><li>Establish an economic development sub-committee with town representatives, Chamber of Commerce and the County economic developer.</li></ul>

Many in the district are struggling with rising costs for everyday necessities including groceries, energy, housing, childcare and transportation. People want lawmakers to pursue real economic relief, lower property taxes, reduce unnecessary fees and curb inflationary pressures so families have more breathing room financially. Many have publicly emphasized the need for immediate affordability solutions.&nbsp;
