CARMEL – When the polls closed Sunday, Putnam County Elections Commissioner Cathy Croft said 1,696 residents from the county’s six towns voted during the 10-day early voting period for Tuesday’s primary election.
Voters in Putnam will have the opportunity to cast ballots for the 17th District Congressional seat now held by Republican Mike Lawler. Democrats challenging Lawler include Effie Phillips-Staley; Cait Conley, Beth Davidson, John Cappello and Michael Sacks.
On the state level, Democrats cast early ballots for Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and his two challengers—Drew Warshaw and Raj Goyle.
Three Democrats—Gay Lee, Lisa Kaul and Evan Menist—are competing for the 39th District State Senate seat, currently held by Rob Rolison. The district covers much of Dutchess County, part of Orange County, and the towns of Philipstown and Putnam Valley.
Republicans in Kent and Mahopac also voted during early voting for seats on the Putnam Legislature.
In District No. 3, Joseph Cunningham is challenging Jorma Tompuri for the seat being vacated by Legislator Toni Addonizio. In District No. 8, Tanner McCracken faces Frank Lombardi for the seat Amy Sayegh is leaving.
