Republican and Conservative candidate Joe Concannon, a U.S. Air Force veteran and retired NYPD captain, has been steadfast in campaigning for the vacant northeast Queens City Council seat since announcing his election bid in June.
Concannon is challenging his Democratic opponent, Bob Grodenchik, for the City Council seat that covers Glen Oaks, Bayside Hills, Fresh Meadows, Queens Village and several other smaller neighborhoods. Mark Weprin gave up the seat to take a position in the Cuomo administration in May.
No Republican has held District 23 in at least five decades, although the boundaries of the district have been redrawn about every 10 years during that period.
And with only three Republican members currently serving in the City Council, Concannon has a big task ahead of him. Even so, he said he and his campaigners are “cautiously optimistic.”
The revolting New York Post cover from Thursday Oct. 2nd shows Governor Andrew Cuomo kissing the ring at the altar of Al Sharpton. Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio, and other Democrat political big shots left in the middle of the Catholic Church’s annual Al Smith Dinner to see the man they really worship, Rev. Al Sharpton who was celebrating his 60th birthday the same night. It is sickening but it’s true. Falling all over each other to sing Sharpton’s praises, Cuomo declared: “He’s no longer just New York’s Al Sharpton, he’s the nation’s Rev. Sharpton – and the nation is better for it.”
On the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution, September 17th, 2014, the Queens Village Republican Club is proud to throw its full support and enthusiastic endorsement behind Grant Lally. Mr. Lally is the Republican, Conservative and Libertarian candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District, a huge district which stretches across three counties from the Northeastern end of Queens, through Nassau and Suffolk. Lally is polling well in the district and enjoys tremendous support in the immigrant community as well as from traditional hard working middle income New Yorkers.

The statewide, congressional and assembly candidates who spoke at the Republican candidates rally Tuesday evening at the St. Anne’s Council Hall of the Glen Oaks Knights of Columbus, said it was the most amazing candidates meeting they ever attended. The meeting was in the format of a candidates rally, with cheering and chants and a T-shirt auction led by retired NYPD Captain, Joe Concannon. The energetic event succeeded in getting the crowd of over 100 attendees packed into the SRO meeting hall sufficiently fired up go out and spread the message of personal freedom and support the candidates to win back our government for the people of the State of New York in the upcoming General Election in November.
Our number one concern is the safety and security of all New Yorkers. In that regard, I urge you to issue an urgent call for a state of emergency declaration regarding Al Sharpton’s anti-police rally in Staten Island this coming Saturday and insist that the protest be postponed until things calm down.
