Everyone deserves the opportunity to access quality, affordable healthcare. In Congress, John Mannion will continue to expand healthcare access by:
- Restoring cuts to Medicare and Medicaid: Medicare and Medicaid keep millions of Americans safe and healthy.

Every veteran, no matter if they worked in the mess hall or on the front lines, deserves respect, honor, and dignity. Returning to civilian life is a challenging process for many and often leaves scars that are just as often invisible as they are visible.
As a State Senator, John was proud to pass legislation to expand opportunities to veterans with disabilities and to provide additional funding to the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project. Additionally, John supported and voted for legislation to extend eligibility to state programs for members of the national guard so that they, just like their brothers and sisters in the regular armed forces, can take advantage of the many benefits of service.
In Congress, John’s priorities include:
- Opportunities Upon Return to Civilian Life: providing additional opportunities for education and gainful employment after military service, including introducing legislation that prevents colleges from unfairly withholding transcripts from veterans as a debt collection tactic.
- A More Effective VA: Ensuring adequate and efficient healthcare by successfully pushing back against a proposed rule that would have cut disability benefits for thousands of veterans.
- Providing Financial Stability: Cosponsoring legislation that would ensure veterans with combat injuries receive full retirement pay and disability compensation without offset.
