Scott Bendett was elected to the New York State Assembly on November 8, 2022. His district is comprised of parts of Columbia, Rensselaer, and Washington counties, as well as the town of Bethlehem in Albany County.
Committed to common-sense and effective solutions, Scott is prepared to bring his successful background in private business and public service to Albany. As a former county legislator, he understands the issues that matter most to residents and will work to lower the tax burden crushing New Yorkers and usher in support and resources for community services critical to those in need. Scott is committed to improving New York’s economic future and recognizes the importance of supporting the struggling small-business community by reducing excessive rules and regulations to improve opportunities for economic growth.
01
Affordability and Cost of Living
Addressing New York’s living expenses requires commitment, and I am dedicated to advocating for financial relief initiatives. By supporting lower taxes and simplifying regulations, I aim to ease economic burdens, allowing our residents to thrive and cherish the values that make New York a wonderful place to live.
02
Health Care
Advocating for affordable and comprehensive health services is essential for helping families face medical challenges without overwhelming costs. By prioritizing preventative care and education, we can reduce preventable diseases and empower residents to take charge of their health, fostering a more resilient community that values the well-being of all.
03
Child Care
Improving our state’s business climate requires accessible and affordable quality child care for all families. By investing in early education and supporting working parents, we enable them to advance their careers while their children receive the necessary care and development. Together, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed and every family gets the support they need.
04
Immigration
Since spring 2022, more than 210,000 migrants have arrived in NYC. New York State has committed $4.3 billion through FY 2026 to address the crisis, while the city has ignored over 10,000 ICE detainer requests since 2016.
05
Ending Antisemitism
Jewish Americans face an alarming rise in hate crimes. Since October 7, Jewish students have been targeted on New York campuses, while extremists push policies aimed at cutting support for Israel.
06
Energy and Climate
Since the CLCPA passed, NYISO says more than twice as much power generation has been shut down as added. The law could cost taxpayers $600 billion, relies on cobalt often mined by women and children, and targets a state responsible for just 3.2% of U.S. emissions.
07
Government Efficiency
New York is the second-most regulated state in America, with state spending up over $100 billion under Governor Hochul. Even while spending the most per student on K-12 education, New York’s academic results remain average.
08
Opportunity and Economic Growth
Nearly 900,000 people have left New York, which now ranks 49th in economic opportunity. Small businesses—the backbone of the state’s economy—are shrinking, while over 1.4 million regulations choke innovation and growth.
