Local attorney John Nabinger officially announced his campaign for Seneca County District Attorney in the 2023 local election on Thursday. Nabinger is a Republican who started his career as a Seneca County Assistant District Attorney and has served as a Seneca County Public Defender for the past 15 years.
“I’m running for Seneca County District Attorney to bring my 25 years of experience to serve the community we all love,” said Nabinger. “Having served as a prosecutor and public defender, I have the balanced perspective, experience, and qualifications to keep our community safer as your new District Attorney.”
For 25 years, Nabinger has served as an attorney in State, County, and Municipal courtrooms across Upstate New York. During his career, he has handled more than 2000 cases, including more than 1000 felonies.
In 1998, fresh out of law school, he began his career as an Assistant District Attorney in Seneca County. He later served as an Assistant District Attorney in Onondaga County for several years. During his time as a prosecutor, he handled various areas of prosecution, presented to the Grand Jury, and handled felony cases including homicides.
For the past 20 years, Nabinger has worked in the Seneca County Court system while serving as a Seneca County Public Defender. In this role, he provides the Constitutionally guaranteed right to a defense for those accused of crimes.
Nabinger and a team of volunteers are circulating petitions to place his name on the Republican and Conservative ballot lines in the November election. He has earned the endorsement of both the Seneca County Republican Committee and the Seneca County Conservative Party.
