New York State Assembly - Member Section

Assembly District 120

William B. Magnarelli

Dear Neighbor,

Welcome to my Web site. This is the place where I will post information which may be of interest to you. The site will be periodically updated to include information about the community, the latest events at the State Capitol and other information pertaining to state government.

I represent the 120th Assembly District, which includes the Northside, Westside, Eastwood, Strathmore, and Valley areas of the City of Syracuse, as well as the towns of Geddes and Van Buren. Since joining the assembly in 1998, I have focused my efforts on bringing more jobs to Central New York, lowering taxes, providing our children a better education, improving our healthcare and keeping our families safe.

In addition to my normal legislative duties, I serve as Chair of the Ethics Committee, Chair of the Legislative Task Force on University-Industry Cooperation, and on the Steering Committee. I also am assigned to the standing committees regarding Economic Development, Job Creation, Commerce and Industry; Education; Health; Oversight, Analysis and Investigation; and Veterans’ Affairs. Through these appointments, I help direct the state’s commitment to these areas and help oversee that the Central New York is represented fairly in budgetary concerns.

I grew up in Syracuse, attended Our Lady of Pompei School and St. John the Baptist Academy before going on to Syracuse University to major in history. I went on to graduate with honors from Syracuse University Law School in 1973. Upon graduating, I entered the Army Reserves, serving for six years and rising to the rank of Captain. I have been involved in the community in numerous roles, including serving on the board of the Arthritis Foundation, president of Our Lady of Pompei Church Parish Council, and as majority leader of the Syracuse Common Council.

The telephone numbers and addresses of my offices, as well as my personal e-mail address, are on this site. Please feel free to contact me or my staff with your thoughts and concerns.

Sincerely,
