David Bissember grew up right outside of the Capital Region, in the town of Cobleskill New York. For over a decade, David has called the Capital Region home, attending undergraduate school at Siena College. He spent 4 years living abroad as a student and educator in Latin America and Europe. Upon returning to the Capital Region, David has worked to better our communities through working in public service, organizing, community outreach, and advocacy. His experiences inform the way he thinks about government and what it should be doing to better address the needs of the people of Troy.
