“Since I came into office, in 2015, all the budgets have passed, we have held down out of control county contracts, kept the county social safety net in place, enhanced public safety, kept cultural programs viable and added services for senior citizens and veterans, all without reducing essential county services”.

“I’ve known Bill Gouldman for over twenty years. He is the epitome of a public servant and is someone who has selflessly dedicated much of his time and energy to the people of Putnam County. Whether it’s his commitment to the water quality of our lakes or the condition of our transportation infrastructure, Bill has worked tirelessly to ensure the needs of Putnam Valley and its people are heard in county government. I wholeheartedly endorse Bill Gouldman for Putnam County Legislator and will do all I can to support him as we work together to better this beautiful county, we call home.” said Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne.

“Bill Gouldman has been instrumental towards moving matters forward for the betterment of the people of Putnam County. Bill is a man of integrity who works hard on behalf of his constituents. I am in complete support of his candidacy for another term as legislator for District # 2,” said Legislative Chairman Paul Jonke.

Legislator Gouldman continued, “Despite the accomplishments and successes I have enjoyed so far as a County Legislator, there is still much more to be done to reduce spending and implement policies to improve county government. I will continue to fight for the families who deal with addiction and substance abuse and support all first responders, including law enforcement, fire and EMS. I am confident that we are on the right track and the best days of Putnam County are still to come. I look forward to another term working with my colleagues on the legislature and the new county executive.

Mr. Gouldman has been endorsed by the Republican Party.
