Senate District 52 Race Heats Up Between Mike Bolles and Incumbent Lea Webb

Republican Mike Bolles is challenging incumbent Democrat Senator Lea Webb for the Southern Tier and Central New York’s Senate District 52. A longtime public servant, Bolles’ experience ranges from the Army to firefighting and federal criminal investigation. “It’s time to get in,” he voiced, rather than merely complaining about the current state of affairs.

Among Bolles’ main priorities is affordability, specifically, reducing the cost of electricity. He warned about the inflationary impact of rising electricity prices, stating, “Electricity costs going up are going to send the price of everything else up.”

Senator Webb also acknowledges affordability as a critical concern and is working towards addressing it. “Healthcare, housing, most certainly utility costs, all of these foundational or essential needs that our communities have…we continue to not only actively address these at state and government levels but also center the voices of the most impacted community members,” Webb explained.

Throughout her tenure, Webb has successfully secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for the district. In contrast, Bolles plans to use his blue-collar background and workforce skills to serve New Yorkers. “I’ve learned about accountability, resilience, discipline. And, I would bring that same commitment to the people of the 52nd District,” Bolles pledged.

Webb emphasized the importance of community engagement, stating, “It’s crucial that you’re in the community, actively listening, and creating spaces for engagement.” Senate District 52 encompasses Cortland, Tompkins, and parts of Broome counties.
