Sarita Bhandarkar Announces Candidacy For Assembly District 99

GOSHEN, NY: The Orange County Democratic committee announced they would be supporting Sarita Bhandarkar as the Democratic candidate for the 99th State Assembly district.

Sarita was born and raised in Orange County, and has been working as an attorney in the Hudson Valley, focusing her practice on estate planning, elder law, Medicaid planning and special needs planning. She worked in private practice before opening her own office, Bhandarkar Law, P.C., in Cornwall in 2018. In addition to her work, Sarita has volunteered with various area nonprofits over the years, including Leadership Orange, the Community Foundation’s Professional Advisors Council, the Hudson Valley Estate Planning Council, Arc of Orange County, Habitat for Humanity, the Dispute Resolution Center, and Girls on the Run.

Sarita told a packed crowd at the Wallkill Community Center that she “felt compelled to run because residents of the 99th district have not had a real advocate with real experience working on their behalf since James Skoufis left the Assembly to become NYS Senator.”

“Both as 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. Those skills have driven my real-world accomplishments in law and in starting my own business. I truly believe by working together here and in Albany, we can improve the quality of life in Orange County for ourselves and our
neighbors, whether they are red, blue, or in between. It’s time for the 99th District to have an advocate in Albany again.” said Sarita Bhandarkar

The 99th Assembly district includes the towns of Woodbury, Highlands, Cornwall, New Windsor, Blooming Grove, Hamptonburgh, Chester, Goshen and Wawayanda as well as the town of Stony Point in Rockland County, and was formerly represented by James Skoufis.

New City, NY — (02/21/25) Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann (R,C-New City) formally announced his re-election last night in front of a packed house of nearly 200 supporters in New City. Hoehmann has served as Supervisor since 2015 and previously was an elected member of the town board and appointed member of the planning board.

Supervisor George Hoehmann stated, “It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as Clarkstown Supervisor. I have dedicated all my efforts to serving Clarkstown as a bipartisan problem solver who gets things done. From cracking down on illegal housing, to keeping our town finances in check, to keeping our families safe with the top ranked police department in the state, expanding our parks and recreation offerings for all residents, protecting and improving our environment, securing record grant funding for major infrastructure work – there is a lot for our residents and taxpayers to be proud of, and we are just getting started. I will work hard through November to earn each and every vote for re-election. I would be honored to have your vote.”

Congressman Michael V. Lawler stated, “Supervisor George Hoehmann and I work together on a daily basis for the betterment of every resident in Clarkstown. George knows what needs to get done in town and works non-stop to keep Clarkstown a great place to live, work and raise a family. I fully endorse and urge all to support George in his re-election.”

Senator Bill Weber stated, “Supervisor George Hoehmann works tirelessly for the Town of Clarkstown. He gets things done. We have a strong working relationship focused on helping all residents of the town. It is without hesitation that I endorse and support George in his re-election campaign. ”

County Executive Ed Day stated, “George Hoehmann delivers results for Clarkstown. We are strong partners who work together every day to protect the taxpayers and residents of Clarkstown. George has my complete support and endorsement to keep serving as Supervisor. I look forward to running with him this November and ask all to cast their vote for Supervisor George Hoehmann.”
