• Ensure that County business is done transparently, something I already have a record of fighting for, whether it is fighting to protect our farmers, or ensuring the public has the right to address issues directly to our government BEFORE they take a vote.

• Fight to have Putnam County, which is currently sitting on a sales tax revenue surplus, join the rest of the modern world in re-distributing that surplus funding back to the very towns and its people (us) that provide it

• Provide innovative solutions to the numerous vacant properties and land plots in our District that do nothing to serve this district, and just collect dust as a tax write off as its held hostage as eye sores.

• I will fight to prevent county land in District 5 to be used for even more medical offices and attorney’s offices, something that’s already directly proposed by our current District 5 legislator.

• In furtherance of that, I will fight for the Hamlet and use my position as Legislator, and the bully pulpit that comes with it to advocate directly to the Town of Carmel to stop ignoring Carmel Hamlet when it conducts its business and end the decades long practice of focusing almost exclusively on Mahopac, using every mechanism available to me as a county legislator.

• I will fight to improve and aid programs that provide adult services for individuals with intellectual disabilities through vocational training programs. Nearly 10% of the Putnam County population is impacted by this, and these citizens want to be, and can be, fully participating members of their communities, lessening financial burdens on their families, themselves, and the county. I have personal experience already achieving these outcomes first hand.

I have been a Libertarian (until they lost ballot access), and Independent, and a registered Democrat.

I do NOT sit on any party committees at the local, state or national level.

I have co-founded an Independent Party called “For The People” that I will be running on. I started this party with a Republican Ranch owner, a sitting Democratic Legislator, and a Conservative Party chairman as we strive to bring our local community together and to put people over party and politics.

I have been endorsed by the local Democratic parties of Carmel, Kent and Putnam County and will be on the ballot line in the first slot on the ballot for District 5 Legislator, and I will also be on the “For The People” Ballot line in the fourth slot.

I am also the only candidate in this race to sit before the entire Putnam County Conservative Party and interview for their endorsement.

Putnam County, Carmel Hamlet and Kent are important to me because this is where I became a man. I’ve been a part of this community in some form or fashion since I was 19 years old. It’s where I chose to raise my family. My kids go to school here. We’ve become great friends with our neighbors of all ideologies here. We all want the same thing: To raise our families in a community and county we can take pride in. We can both protect our farms AND build family-friendly downtowns. We can keep tax dollars local and STILL provide top-notch services. I believe that.
