Personal Message:

As a newly elected Legislator, I would like to thank the good people of Kent for bestowing their confidence in my abilities to do a proper job as their representative in the Putnam County Legislature. I am a native son of Putnam with a large extended family living throughout the different towns of our County. Having a local, multi generational family enables me to gain critical insight of the services needed by our citizens in all phases of life. My responsibilities take me throughout the County; please do not hesitate to approach me if you would like to talk about something.

I believe it is essential that we formulate strategies to attract tasteful corporate development into our borders. Promoting and marketing our historical past through tourism will enable us to bring outside money into our County coffers while simultaneously preserving our open space. Let us try to clean up and occupy the many vacant buildings already strewn throughout the County, increasing our sales tax revenue. I believe if our six towns can coordinate our development and goals together, we can make our tiny county into the gem of New York State.

I will act as a liaison between the County and the Kent Town Board, keeping the people of our district up to date on the issues and help expedite all matters which concern Kent. Lastly, I will do my best to work with my fellow Legislators and the County Executive, keeping all avenues of communication open, working for efficient and frugal government for the people. Putnam County comes first; we who have earned your trust do not.
