The open seat in the New York’s 50th Senate District presents a rare opportunity to send a new face to Albany. Republican Nick Paro, the Salina town supervisor from Liverpool, is running against Democrat Chris Ryan, from Geddes, a longtime Onondaga County legislator. The district includes the towns of Clay, Cicero, Camillus, Manlius, DeWitt, Geddes and Salina in Onondaga County and Fulton and Oswego in Oswego County.
