Tim works in a local medical office, giving him firsthand insight into the healthcare challenges families face and the importance of accessible, reliable medical services. Beyond that he coaches football and stays deeply involved in youth sports, mentoring young people and helping them build teamwork, discipline, and confidence. This is his second run at the 9th District- he first challenged longtime Republican incumbent Randy Bradt in 2023, and he's back on the ballot this fall to try again.

John grew up in Lockport and has called Niagara County home for more than 50 years. He's raising his own family in Cambria now, and he's running because he's tired of watching the county's potential- its farmland, wineries, and agrotourism- sit untapped while nothing changes. His platform: support local business and tourism, keep government transparent and accountable, and protect farmland from overdevelopment by keeping land-use decisions in local hands instead of the state's.
