Democrat David Linton, aligned with the Liberal party, seeks the 120th Assembly District seat against fellow Democrat William Magnarelli. He argues the Liberal line can expand black voter influence and push for inner city school repairs while resisting calls that his bid helps Republican James Corbett.
A 28 year old resident at 100 Bungalow Terrace Pottent has limited political experience. He has not held office or served on a party committee. He works as a letter carrier for the U S Postal Service and was among the first African Americans in the Syracuse Fire Department. He is married to Susan with a stepson Les and sons David Guy Duane and Sean. He graduated from Corcoran High School and studied at Black Hills State College while pursuing labor relations at Onondaga Community College.
Linton had not filed any reports with the State Board of Electors as of last week, leaving the status of their compliance unclear and prompting inquiries from local officials.
Corbett backs a Pataki style welfare time limit for able bodied recipients to curb benefits. Magnarelli supports existing federal time limits and favors limited workfare with government jobs only as a last resort. Linton pushes higher welfare and a higher minimum wage, opposing broad time limits. Abortion views vary, with Magnarelli opposing parental notification, Corbett pro life, and Linton in favor of notification for babies having babies while respecting constitutional rights.
Corbett contrasts himself with opponent William Mag narelli calling himself a practical, blue collar candidate. He seeks tax cuts, workers compensation reform, tort reform and referenda on major issues while stressing understanding of both labor and business perspectives in Geddes and parts of Syracuse.
A focused profile notes a Syracuse electrician and journeyman wireman, long employed by Ridley Electric since 1974. He chairs Geddes town board since 1989 and has served on the Onondaga County Legislature via County Executive Nicholas Pirro, with a long family, education from Sacred Heart High School, and a Republican affiliation.
