Blue waves don’t just happen on their own. We make them happen.

Putnam friends…we have <50 days to determine the fate of Putnam County, and honestly the fate of the nation. Flipping NY-17 is part of taking back control of one branch of government. Winning the county executive seat is within reach - and will be a political earthquake. To do this and more, we must do what it takes to create the blue wave we need to make history.

The facts on the ground can seem overwhelming, and are important to understand. Elon Musk is paying organizers on the ground in Putnam. Mike Lawler is spending his millions on ugly ads. Kevin Byrne has a new campaign manager trying to resurrect his image. Donald Trump is trying to disenfranchise voters. All this is true. But do you know why?

Because they are scared. Public opinion is against them. Their record is abysmal.

If we mobilize a large enough force in Putnam, we can win.

Do not give in to the negative voices - in your head or on your phone. Do not get scared off by the mail voting interference shenanigans. Do not get overwhelmed by the media saturation of a certain Congressman. They want you to be scared and think your actions don’t matter. But our actions are the deciding factor.

WHEN we mobilize a large enough force in Putnam, we WILL win. So let’s get  busy in the next 50 days.  It is time to create the blue wave.

We can do this together.
