CARMEL – Putnam County District Attorney Adam Levy announced his candidacy for reelection. He made the announcement Friday on the steps of the Historic County Courthouse in Carmel.
The two-term prosecutor already has the endorsement of the county Republican and Conservative parties.
“Recidivism in Putnam has dropped nearly in half, because the word is out if you commit a crime in Putnam, you will be held accountable,” Levy said, “Make no mistake, Putnam County is safer than it has ever been.”
Levy said he is running “to continue my work, which has resulted in Putnam County being the safest place in New York State to live, work, and raise a family.”
He said his “hard stance” on DWI has led to a 34 percent drop among adults since 2008, and 53 percent decline among underage drivers.
The DA said violent crime is down 40 percent.
“Putnam’s law enforcement partners are enjoying a period of unprecedented cooperation and effectiveness, and the proof is in how Putnam is.”
He also said protecting children has been a mainstay of his career as DA.
