Saul attended Rochester City Schools and is a graduate of Wilson Magnet High School and the University of Rochester where he received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Since graduating from the University of Rochester, he has been an active volunteer with many organizations that serve the community. He is a founder and serves on the Executive Committee of NextGen Rochester, a group of young professionals who provide funding to nonprofits serving the community.

Ove Overmyer, CSEA Monroe County Local 828 Political Action Committee Co-Chair said, “Mr. Maneiro is a true friend to working people and the middle class.  Saul has a keen understanding of the issues that our working families face—and he is willing to implement policy decisions to improve the quality of life for the people he represents.  We wholeheartedly support his candidacy.  Plus, when you talk about good government and representation, please note this fact:  Saul is the only Latino on the legislature.”

CSEA represents hundreds of workers who live in the 29^th District.  Maneiro faces Mike Patterson in a Democratic primary on Tuesday, September 13.  Regardless of the primary outcome, both candidates’ names will appear on other ballot lines in the general election on November 8.
