Career

Politics

In 1991, Manning won a seat on the Dutchess County Legislature for the 20th District. He served in the New York State Assembly from 1994 to 2006, and was, at the time, "the youngest state assemblyman ever elected." [2] During this period, Manning "was instrumental in attracting the Hudson Valley Renegades to Dutchess County." [3]

In late 2005, Manning began a gubernatorial campaign, finding support initially from the New York Conservative Party. Manning's main opponents for the Republican nomination for governor were John Faso, the eventual nominee, who was formerly New York Assembly Minority Leader and later member of Congress, and William Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts.

In 2006, Manning decided instead to seek re-election to his Assembly seat, but with primary challengers. [4] In the Republican primary election on September 12, 2006, Manning was defeated by then Tivoli Mayor and Dutchess County legislator Marcus Molinaro. Manning held a lead in the Columbia County portion of the district, but this was not enough to overcome Molinaro's lead in the Dutchess segment. Reflecting on the loss, Manning noted “I was ready to retire, but I didn’t realize it.” [2] Manning attempted a return to the New York State Assembly in 2012, but lost in the primary to Kiernan Lalor. [5]

Manning became the executive director of a housing non-profit, co-owner of a farm, and board member of an agricultural cooperative. [2]

Ice hockey

In 2023, Manning became president of the Hudson Valley Vipers, a minor-league hockey team in Poughkeepsie that plays its home games at the McCann Ice Arena at the Majed J. Nesheiwat Convention Center. [6] [3]

On May 20, 2024, it was announced that Manning had bought the Elmira River Sharks hockey team of the Federal Prospects Hockey League and relocated them to the Hudson Valley. [7] It was initially announced that the team, renamed the Hudson Valley Venom, was going to play in Poughkeepsie, but on June 4, 2024, the team announced they will be playing at IceTime Sports Complex in Newburgh, New York.
