LENNY HARRINGTON Putting Mahopac First.
Did you know that Putnam County has the fifth-highest average property tax bill in the entire country? That’s higher than some of the wealthiest resort towns in America.
Our tax rate as a share of home value is even higher. Most of that bill comes from town and school taxes, but the county portion still matters.
Meanwhile, our county government (the Putnam County Legislators) has more than $140 million in the bank, with no plan for over $90 million of it. That’s not responsible leadership.
We have been Overtaxed and underplanned FOR YEARS. Change starts right here
Every tax dollar, every project, every decision, Mahopac families come first.
Register for the Knockout!
Meet Lenny
I'm proud to announce my candidacy for Putnam County Legislator representing Mahopac’s District 9.
I've lived in Putnam County for 30 years. My wife and I raised our two sons in Mahopac, and we’ve built a life centered on community, hard work, and service.
As a dedicated member of Local Union 3, I’ve spent decades leading teams as a superintendent and senior project manager in the construction industry. Today, I oversee projects with annual budgets between $60 and $80 million—experience which has taught me how to solve problems, carefully manage resources, and deliver results.
But my commitment doesn’t stop at the job site. I volunteer my time teaching leadership skills to young foremen, helping to develop the next generation of responsible, capable workers.
Now, I’m ready to serve our community at a higher level—as your county legislator. I’m running to be a strong voice for working families, small businesses, and the future of Putnam County.
I love Mahopac, and I’m running to represent you with integrity, transparency, and unwavering dedication.
My Vision & Priorities
I am committed to building a stronger future for our community. One that reflects our shared values and addresses the challenges we face with clear priorities and real accountability. My leadership skills are rooted in experience, integrity, and a deep belief in the potential of Mahopac and Putnam County. Voting for me is the right vote for right now.
Integrity, Accountability, and Leadership

Facts
-
We must begin to have a serious conversation about the structure of our county-wide public school system. Currently, each town in Putnam County duplicates many administrative functions. This inefficient setup results in annual taxes ranging from $17,000 to $30,000 per homeowner. As a result, Putnam County residents pay the 3rd highest property taxes in the entire country. I've been advised not to discuss this. But that is how we got here!
-
Your local government tells you one thing, but in practice, they do another. Look at your most recent property assessment. Judge for yourself.
-
Putnam County has $100 million in its bank account. There is another $40 million earmarked for "future plans". They have a dated plan not based on reality. I have direct management experience with operating budgets up to $80 million
-
Until this term, you have had zero choice for a representative because she has run unopposed. This is bad for YOU!
"The future is built by the courage to embrace change. leadership brings transparency, accountability, and a fresh vision to the table."
