Campaign themes
2017
Concannon provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ | Integrity in government is essential in developing the trust of the public. The more trust then the greater public participation in elections. My candidacy is about engaging the public, developing the trust and creating transparency in government. Too often we see the opinions of elites in the political process NOT reflecting the views of the voting public. Public safety is the cornerstone of a thriving economy providing both stability and assurances that the marketplace will be safe. In handcuffing and blindfolding the police we reduce public safety, create fear and uncertainty for businesses. I look to return NYC to a time when fear and uncertainty are not a major concern for our citizens. I look to enhance public transportation in our district. I look to reward riders of public transit systems, not punish them. Education provides students the tools for critical thinking and businesses a well trained labor force. I'm asking for your vote and together we can make NYC great again![8][9] | ” |
