Freshman Assemblyman Scott Bendett (R,C-Sand Lake) was sworn-in last evening at the Rensselaer County Courthouse with the newest class of elected officials representing Rensselaer County.

Bendett served in the Rensselaer County Legislature since 2017, before running unopposed for the 107th Assembly District last November. He is currently the president of the Averill Park Education Foundation.

“It is an absolute honor to be able to stand up before my colleagues and neighbors to once again pledge my commitment to the people of our community,” said Bendett. “I am grateful for the lessons and friendships I have gained since diving headfirst into public service, and I look forward to putting them both to work for the people of the 107th Assembly District.”
