New York City Mayoral Candidate Paul Massey today endorsed Joe Concannon for City Council District 23.

“Joe is a retired NYPD Captain and former advisor to Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and I can think of no person I’d rather have in the City Council and working with my administration," Massey said. "Together we will keep New York families safe, ensure every child has an opportunity for a quality education, and bring integrity and a strong work ethic back to City Hall. He will serve the people of northeast Queens proudly and well. I look forward to celebrating with Joe after election day and getting to work for the people of New York, in January.”

Concannon said, "I am very happy to receive support and today's endorsement from Paul Massey. Mayoral control of our schools is important, and under a different administration I could see extending control, but neither the city council nor Mayor Bill de Blasio have shown the type of fiscal restraint expected of the city's chief fiscal manager."
