GOSHEN – The Orange County Democratic Committee has endorsed attorney Sarita Bhandarkar to run for the 99th State Assembly District seat currently held by Republican Colin Schmitt.
The lifelong Orange County resident has her law practice in Cornwall.
Calling herself a “pragmatist, not a partisan,” she said that as “both an attorney and as a community volunteer, I have learned to work effectively with and on behalf of people who do not always think, believe, act, or look like I do. What I bring to the table is a willingness and an ability to communicate and collaborate with others.”
The 99th AD includes the towns of Woodbury, Highlands, Cornwall, New Windsor, Blooming Grove, Hamptonburgh, Chester, Goshen, Wawayanda and a portion of Stony Point.
