Re-Elect Justin Cook for Scotia Village Trustee
Justin moved to the Village of Scotia 15 years ago and proudly serves as Village Trustee. With its beautiful parks, safe and walkable neighborhoods, and close-knit community, Justin and his wife Stephanie bought their first home in Scotia and chose to raise their daughter Chloe in the Village. He graduated from SUNY Schenectady and Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. Justin completed a term of national service as an AmeriCorps VISTA and pursued a career as a communications professional, devoting 15 years to working for area nonprofits. Today, Justin continues his career in public service with Schenectady County.
Since joining the Village Board in 2019, Justin has been an active and responsive voice for residents. He has assumed liaison roles for the Police Department, Town of Glenville, Scotia Business Improvement District, Scotia-Glenville Central School District, and Envision Scotia, a planning effort to attract public and private investment to support the future growth and development of Scotia.
Justin actively gives back to his community and believes in the importance of volunteering. As a Board Member of the Freedom Park Foundation, he works to keep music center stage in the Village of Scotia. He also volunteers his time to mentor and support youth in the community as a founding advisor of DeMolay International's Electric City Chapter and earned The Scotia-Glenville Central School District's Founders Award in 2022 for his service to students at Lincoln Elementary School. In 2023, Justin co-founded the Fresh Table of Scotia-Glenville, a pop-up community pantry that has distributed over 10,000 lbs of fresh food to nearly 3,000 hardworking households.
Justin will bring his commitment to service to the Village Board while working hard to build upon what we love most about our Village and finding ways to make it even better together.
