Who represents Webster: in the county legislature and in Albany

When New York State Sen. Samra Brouk's office published its 2025 Year in Review, one line named Webster directly: a $120,000 state capital grant that let the North East Joint Fire District, which covers the Webster Volunteer Fire Department's response area, replace aging extrication equipment, the hydraulic "jaws of life" tools crews use to free people trapped in car wrecks, with newer third-generation units. It is the kind of concrete, traceable state dollar that is easy to miss unless you already know who represents Webster in Albany, and in the Monroe County Legislature, in the first place.

The grant was announced in September 2024, and it drew a direct thank-you from Webster's own fire department. "Senator Brouk successfully secured grant funding from New York State for the purchase of new Hurst tools (aka the jaws of life). These tools will enhance the department's ability to respond promptly and effectively... On behalf of the Webster Fire Department, we express our deep gratitude for her efforts in securing this critical, lifesaving equipment," said Steven Kozak, the Webster Fire Department's 1st assistant chief, in the New York Senate's press release announcing the funding round.

Webster is represented by two Monroe County legislators, one state senator, and one state assemblyman, though that Assembly seat is in the middle of changing hands. Here is who holds each office today, what each has done for Webster where the public record shows it, and how to reach them.

Monroe County Legislature: two districts cover Webster

Unlike the state-level seats, Webster is split between two County Legislature districts. Broadly, District 8 covers the eastern half of town and District 15 covers the western portion, extending into parts of neighboring Penfield, according to multiple public sources reviewed for this piece. The precise street-by-street line between the two districts was not confirmed to publishable precision here. Residents who want to know exactly which district covers their address can call the County Legislature office at (585) 753-1922 or use the county's online lookup tool at monroecounty.gov/legislature-find.

District 8: Mark Johns (R). Johns was appointed to the seat on April 13, 2022, to fill a vacancy, won election later that year, and was reelected in 2023 to his current four-year term. He is the ranking member of the Legislature's Intergovernmental Relations Committee and also sits on the Recreation and Education Committee. Johns ran for the Republican nomination for the state Assembly's 130th District in this year's June 23 primary and lost; he holds only his County Legislature seat, not any position in Albany. (More on that Assembly race below.) His office is at 39 W. Main St., Room 409, Rochester, NY 14614; phone (585) 753-1922.

District 15: Frank Ciardi (R). Ciardi represents District 15, covering parts of Webster and Penfield, and was elected to his current four-year term in 2023. He is the ranking member of the Legislature's Planning and Economic Development Committee and also serves on the Agenda/Charter Committee. He can be reached at (585) 753-1922, on his cell at (585) 232-6380, or by email at legislatorciardi@gmail.com.

Both Johns and Ciardi are Republicans. The full 29-member County Legislature has held a Democratic majority since the 2023 election, with Yversha Román, D-District 26, serving as President since early 2024, the first Latina to hold that post.

New York State Senate: Samra Brouk, District 55

All of Webster falls within State Senate District 55, represented by Samra Brouk, a Democrat, who has held the seat since 2021, when she succeeded Republican Rich Funke. The district also covers East and West Irondequoit, Penfield, Perinton, Fairport, Pittsford, East Rochester, and part of the eastern City of Rochester.

In Albany, Brouk chairs the Senate's Mental Health Committee and serves on the Agriculture, Children and Families, Elections, Health, and Local Government committees.

Brouk is up for reelection in November 2026; Chris Brown, a Webster Republican, is the certified Republican and Conservative-line challenger, with no primary held on either side.

The $120,000 extrication-equipment grant described above is one of the more concrete, Webster-specific state dollars her office has secured; it is confirmed both on the North East Joint Fire District's own website and in her office's year-end summary of state-funded municipal and emergency-services projects. Her district office is at 274 N. Goodman St., Suite B127, Rochester, NY 14607; phone (585) 223-1800.

New York State Assembly District 130: a seat in transition

All of Wayne County, plus the Town of Webster in Monroe County, makes up Assembly District 130. Brian Manktelow, a Republican and Conservative Party member from Lyons, has held the seat since January 2019 and remains the sitting Assembly member through the end of his current term in December 2026.

In January 2026, Manktelow announced he will not seek reelection. In his public statement announcing the decision, he said "this decision was not an easy one" and that he intends to "remain committed to giving back and staying involved, just in a different capacity."

Two candidates have already won certified primaries to succeed him: George Dobbins, a Republican, and Carl Fitzsimmons, a Democrat. Both head to the November 3 general election. (Mark Johns, the County Legislature District 8 representative described above, also ran in that primary but was not one of the two winners.)

Manktelow's Assembly office can be reached at (315) 946-5166.
