EspañolGEORGE H. WINNER JR.
(Redirected from George Winner)
'Hon. George H. Winner, Jr.' was born on July 31, 1949, in Elmira, New York. After thirteen terms as a New York State Assemblyman, Winner was elected to the New York State Senate to fill the seat vacated by Congressman Randy Kuhl, (R, Hammondsport, NY).
Mr. Winner, a 1971 graduate of St. Lawrence University, was admitted to the practice of law in New York in 1977 following the completion of a legal clerkship. He is a partner in the Elmira law firm of Keyser, Maloney, Winner LLP and is a member of the Chemung County, New York and New York State Bar Associations.
Winner was elected in 2004 to represent the 53rd Senatorial District, which is comprised of Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben and Yates counties, the city and town of Ithaca, New York, and the towns of Enfield, Newfield and Ulysses in Tompkins County. He serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Investigations and Government Operations. Prior to his election to the Senate, he served in the New York State Assmebly for twenty six years following his election in November 1978. Before being elected to the Assembly, Mr. Winner was counsel and legislative assistant to then Senate Deputy Majority Leader William T. Smith of Big Flats from 1971 to 1978.
Winner's committee is considering investigating a controversial multimillion-dollar loan that New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer's father Bernard Spitzer gave him when he ran for attorney general in 1998 , a loan Mr. Spitzer has acknowledged not being truthful about.[1][2] Winner told ''The New York Post'' that subpoenas should be used to find out about the loans.[3] Winner wrote to Senate Elections Committee Chairman Senator Joseph Griffo that an article profiling Spitzer in ''New York Magazine'' "outlined what may have been a willful effort by Eliot Spitzer and his father to circumvent campaign-contribution limits in New York state law and then conceal their actions." In 1998, Spitzer claimed that he secured the $5 million loan by mortgaging apartments his developer had given him, but later revealed that his father was actually paying off the loans and, therefore, financing his campaign.
★ Winner also ran on the Conservative Party of New York and Independence Party of New York tickets.
★ Cleveland also ran on the Working Families Party of New York ticket.
