Before his election to the New York State Assembly, Brindisi served on the Utica School Board and practiced as an attorney. He was first elected to the New York State Assembly in a September 2011 special election. Brindisi narrowly defeated Republican U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney in the 2018 election in New York's 22nd congressional district. Tenney challenged Brindisi in 2020. Initially, the 2020 election was too close to call, and its results were challenged in court. On February 5, 2021, a state trial court judge declared Tenney the winner.
