Concurrently, he served as a Dutchess County Legislator for four terms where he led efforts to strengthen his community's response to child abuse and domestic violence.
From 2006 to 2011, Marc continued his service in Albany, representing the 103rd District in the New York State Assembly. In 2011, Marc was elected to serve as Dutchess County Executive.
