MY NAME IS JAMES MEYERS.
My sister and I grew up in a working-class household. My dad has dedicated his career to working with developmentally disabled individuals, and my mom was a social worker. After high school, I attended SUNY Brockport on an ROTC Scholarship, earning a Bachelor's Degree in History and commissioning as an Intelligence Officer in the Active Duty Army. I served for four years, leading soldiers at Ft. Gordon, Georgia, and overseas. After transitioning to the Army Reserve, I joined Alion Science and Technology in 2015 and earned a Master's Degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University in 2020.
Living in Central New York has enriched my life. I've built a career, made lasting friendships, and found a true home here. As a Program Manager and Major in the Army Reserve, I bring service, leadership, and diverse experience to this office. I am committed to ensuring everyone in our district has a voice and pledge to always be available to hear your concerns.
I am running for the 53rd New York State Senate District to bring a fresh approach to representing you in our state government. As a veteran with a strong background in service and leadership, I am committed to making Central New York an ideal place to build a family and a future. I believe in transparency, accountability, and prioritizing the needs of my constituents. I am a strong advocate for public safety, economic development, and accessible and affordable healthcare. When elected as your next New York State Senator, I will work to make the 53rd District a place where everyone can thrive. It's time to build a Central New York that works for all of us.
