On Wednesday, Assemblyman Matt Simpson (R,C-Horicon) invited Vermont Assemblyman Jarrod Sammis to the chamber floor. Sammis represents the Rutland-3 District which includes Castleton, Vermont. He currently helps operate his family-owned real estate business as a realtor and marketing communications coordinator. Sammis has also worked in the fields of substance dependency prevention and treatment advocacy, microelectronics manufacturing and environmental conservation (land and water). Sammis’s family roots flow between Vermont and upstate New York, particularly in the Ticonderoga region.

“Jarrod has worked and volunteered with many groups across our lovely states, including St. Jude's Children's Hospital, the Essex County Heroin Opiate Prevention Task Force, the Chamber of Commerce, the United Way, the Vermont Association of Broadcasters, the American Legion Veterans Association, the Hometown Heroes Banner Program, Ticonderoga Area Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse Coalition and Castleton University Safe Ride Drunk Driving Prevention Program. As a newly elected government official who has the great privilege of representing the people, I believeAssemblyman Sammis will find his career in public service especially rewarding, said Simpson.”
