Bio

McNulty was born September 16, 1947 in Troy, New York and graduated from Holy Cross College. He was mayor of Green Island, New York from [1977 to 1982. McNulty was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1982.

Congressional career

In 1988, Congressman Samuel S. Stratton announced his withdrawal from the race due to health issues. McNulty was selected to replace him on the ballot and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

In his early days in the House, McNulty agreed with 13 of 15 tenets of the GOP's Contract With America.[1] He has since "chalked up a moderate-to-liberal voting record, but, a Catholic, he broke with his party over the issue of abortion."[2] "McNulty voted against impeaching President Clinton. He has been a strong friend of labor, casting his vote against the North American Free Trade Agreement. And he has also lined up with his party's more liberal wing from time to time, voting against the 1994 welfare overhaul and against allowing states to deny public education to illegal aliens.[3]

McNulty served as a party whip during his first two terms, but is known for being relatively quiet and not saying much on the floor. However, recently he became an outspoken critic of President George W. Bush's Social Security reform plan. [4]

2006 elections

In 2006, the Republicans nominated Warren Redlich to face Mcnulty in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [5] McNulty retained his seat.

Retirement

McNulty confirmed reports that he would not run for reelection on October 29, 2007. He said his health was a factor, but not the main reason for the decision to end his 10 term congressional career. McNulty had polio as a child and suffered from a post-polio condition. “The main reason for making this decision now is that I want to come home. I do want to have a job where, when Monday morning rolls around, I am not headed to the airport. In short, I want to be with my family,” McNulty said.[2]

Many possible Democratic candidates for the seat were being discussed, including state Sen. Neil Breslin; his brother Albany Country executive Mike Breslin; Assemblyman Ron Canestrari; Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings; McNulty staffer Charlie Diamond; a regional director for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Tracey Brooks; president of the state’s Energy Research and Development Authority Paul Tonko; Albany Common Council President Shawn Morris; Albany County District Attorney David Soares; and Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton, the son of Rep. Sam Stratton (D), McNulty’s predecessor. [3]

Possible Republican candidates include Assemblyman James Tedisco, Assemblyman George Amedore, and an executive at Independent Power Producers of New York, Gavin Donohue. [4]
