A huge thank you to everyone who came out last night to support my Cigar & Bourbon Fundraiser! 🥃

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, our generous sponsors, everyone who donated to the campaign, and especially all the volunteers who gave their time and effort to help make the evening a success. These events don’t happen without you, and I truly appreciate your support.

I’ll be honest: fundraising is my least favorite part of public service. But it’s a necessary part of running a campaign because it takes resources to get our message out to the residents we represent and make sure they know where we stand on the issues that matter to our community.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting my campaign, and helping me continue working for the people of Putnam County. I couldn’t do it without you!

On October 5, 2026 Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne presented his 2027 tentative budget.

As part of his budget, he is proposing that the Putnam County Legislature approve the sharing of 6.5 million dollars with the towns and villages of Putnam County. These funds had been previously allocated in the 2026 budget and would not increase the 2027 budget. Allocation of the funds will be based upon population of the towns and villages. If approved, Putnam Valley would receive $781,758 as its share.

These funds could come as meaningful tax relief to the municipalities at a time when we are facing so many rising costs.

A big thank you to Giulio Cefaloni of the Italian American Club of Mahopac for organizing another wonderful Columbus Day Parade!

I had a great time marching and enjoyed seeing so many local groups come out and perform for the community. It was especially exciting to watch my daughters, Alessia and Francesca, dancing with Starstruck Dance Studio! 🇮🇹

Thank you to everyone who made this great tradition possible! 🇮🇹

Thank you to the Putnam County Fi***rm Owners Association for hosting the candidate forum on September 29th and for giving the candidates an opportunity to discuss our positions on the Second Amendment.

As I stated that evening, I will always support and defend our Second Amendment rights and stand against infringement upon those rights.

I also believe strongly that fi***rm safety is of the utmost importance. Responsible fi***rm ownership goes hand-in-hand with proper education, training, and safety.

Thank you again for hosting an important and informative discussion.

I had the honor of attending the Putnam County Gold Star Mothers Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park.

It is always a deeply moving ceremony. My heart goes out to the mothers who have lost a child while serving our nation. Their sacrifice, strength, and courage are impossible to put into words.

I am truly grateful for their sacrifice and for the service and sacrifice of their sons and daughters. 🇺🇸
