Proposals on the ballot: Proposition One
Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment
From the New York State Board of Elections site, “This proposal amends Article 1, Section 11 of the New York Constitution. Section 11 now protects against unequal treatment based on race, color, creed, and religion. The proposal will amend the act to also protect against unequal treatment based on ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, as well as reproductive healthcare and autonomy. The amendment allows laws to prevent or undo past discrimination.”
Voting “Yes” on this proposal would include these protections in the New York State constitution.
Who are the choices for representatives?
Voting for Senator Mannion would flip New York’s 22nd Congressional District blue. From Mannion’s senate page, “Senator Mannion is committed to creating jobs and opportunities that will continue the economic and population growth in Central New York. He was the prime co-sponsor of the historic Green Chips legislation that provides low-cost power to the computer chip industry in New York. The legislation has been credited by Micron as a determining factor in its decision to invest $100B to build a Chip Fab in the Senator’s District in Clay, NY. Senator Mannion believes strongly in government transparency and accountability. He authored legislation to create the Upstate Flood Mitigation Task Force, moving a dormant body with no appointees to full membership with a charge to deliver actionable flood mitigation strategies within twelve months.”
Congressman Williams is the incumbent in the 22nd district. From Williams’ senate page, “Brandon and [his wife] started an agribusiness in the Finger Lakes region and participated in attracting tourist and economic development to our community. Brandon is also a pioneer in innovation, founding a software company that now helps large industrial manufacturers modernize their production plants, secure their critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks, and paves the way for reduced emissions through advances in artificial intelligence.”
