Putnam County Young Republicans Club​ Introduces New Officers

From the Putnam County Young Republicans Club: On January 13, 2017, the Putnam County Young Republican Club gathered for the installation of their new Executive Board. The newly elected officers include Nick Fannin as President, Marykate Acquisto as Vice President, Tara Keegan as Secretary, and Sarah Greene as Treasurer.

The club thanks past President John Greene for all of his hard work and dedication as he passes the torch. John has led the club to becoming a household name in the area and throughout the state. Since its formation in 2009, the club has supported countless Republican candidates and has participated in various community projects. The 2017 Executive Board is looking forward to continuing to contribute to Putnam County, politically and otherwise.

President Nick Fannin joined the club in 2013 looking to become more involved in the community and local government. Since then, he has held Secretary and Vice President roles in the club. He is also a member of the Carmel Republican Committee and is the Vice Chairman of the Environmental Conservation Board in the Town of Carmel. As President, Nick wants to use his role to help others the way the club has helped him.

Marykate Acquisto is also a member of the Carmel Republican Committee. She previously worked for the New York State Assembly Minority and now works for the New York State Senate. Tara Keegan was an intern for the Putnam County District Attorney, and also served the 94th Assembly District as an intern, Legislative Aide, District Office Manager, and Chief of Staff. She currently works for a law firm in Hopewell Junction, NY. Sarah Greene has been an involved member of the Putnam County Young Republican Club since its founding in 2009. Sarah currently works at the Putnam County Board of Elections.

For the upcoming year, one of the club’s main goals is to expand its membership.
