I would like to extend my congratulations to the three incumbents in Cold Spring on their re-election. I learned a great deal from this cycle and it will better prepare me for future runs. Thank you to all the people who voted and believed in me and my vision of Cold Spring. I truly believe in working together for the common good and we can do wonderful things for this village.

I’m grateful to the many people from every party who worked so hard to share this campaign’s messages in the race for Putnam County Judge. It was my pleasure to meet and form new friendships with so many dedicated people who every day serve others, through their work and in their lives. I was inspired by your generosity, respectfulness, and willingness to genuinely listen and share regardless of political party affiliation.
I believe that our campaign contributed to countywide conversations about integrity and leadership, and in particular further increased awareness of the devastating impact of the opioid crisis on Putnam County families. We must continue to act together, regardless of party politics, not only to stop the opioid epidemic but to further unify our countywide community.
I will keep working hard with everyone across Putnam to serve those who can use our help. As one of my Treatment Court graduates said to me last night, setbacks happen. We use them to learn and move forward. Thank you, Putnam.
