MAHOPAC – By a 148-7 vote margin, State Assemblyman Kevin Byrne has been selected by the Putnam County Republican Committee, at their meeting in Mahopac Wednesday night, to be their nominee as the next Putnam County executive.
“We did what Putnam Republicans always do: keep the faith and reach out, every day, to make the case to our friends and neighbors. We’ve been rewarded with their trust and support, for which I’m extremely grateful,” said Byrne, a lifelong resident of the county.
“Now I’m honored to move forward with all my fellow Republicans to win the votes and confidence of everyone in Putnam County, no matter their Party, as a leader determined to keep this beautiful place, the place I’ve called home my entire life, the best for living, working, and raising a family–today, and for the future,” he said.
Prior to serving three terms in Albany, Byrne worked in healthcare administration for a private multi-specialty medical group. He also served as a regional director for the American Heart Association, deputy district director to former Congresswoman Nan Hayworth, member of the Putnam Valley Town Planning Board, and emergency medical technician for Westchester EMS and the Kent Volunteer Fire Department, where he served three terms as president.
