George L. Ingalls, Republican, was born in 1914. From 1953-1965, he served in the New York State Assembly as a representative of the Second District in Broome County. During that time, he served on the Temporary State Commission on Water Resource Planning and the Rules Committee. In 1961 he was named Majority Leader.
