Assemblyman Scott Bendett

Our intern, Jonathan has been hard at work recognizing college students from across AD 107 with letters of congratulations on their academic honors this past semester. If you have a student in your district you’d like to honor with a NYS Assembly Proclamation, you can email me at [email protected]

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates June 19, 1865, when the final enforcement of emancipation reached enslaved Americans in Texas and freedom was finally realized for many who had waited far too long.

Juneteenth is an important reminder of our nation’s ongoing journey toward fulfilling the promise that all people are created equal. As we reflect on our history, we can also celebrate the progress that has been made and recommit ourselves to the ideals of liberty, opportunity, and respect for all.

Rensselaer County continues to make improvements and investments in Highway services. In 2025, the county completed paving the entire 330-mile county road network.
On Wednesday, led by County Executive Steve McLaughlin, the county opened the third new county Highway garage. The new garage is located in Brunswick on the site of the former Rifenburg companies and will help the county repair and service roads more easily.
Congratulations to County Executive Steve McLaughlin and his team on this accomplishment.

Big day in the district, particularly in Rensselaer County. In Poestenkill, the town kicked off an important water district for areas of the town.
The project started following the discovery of PFOA in the community, and federal, state and county funding assistance was received. I was proud to support the funding for the town project in state budgets, as Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin assigned $600,000 in county ARPA funds.
Congratulations to Supervisor Michelle Garofolo and members of the Town Board on the start of this important project.
