Democrat Joe Conley, with
the support and endorsement of Councilman Walter
McCaffrey, is running for City Council in District
26, which includes Woodside, Sunnyside, Long Island
City and Maspeth. Joe serves as the Chairperson
of Community Board 2, where, along with Councilman
McCaffrey, he has focused on numerous quality
of life issues in Western Queens. He has been
re-elected Chair twelve consecutive times and
has been a board member for over 16 years.
Through Joe’s leadership, Community Board 2 is
recognized as one of the city’s best managed community
boards. Joe’s most recent success was initiating
the legislation that challenged and changed the
billboard laws of New York City, creating one
of the most restrictive billboard laws in the
country. Furthermore, Joe fought to have the zoning
changed to ban adult entertainment in our neighborhoods,
and he successfully fought to block more homeless
shelters, adult homes and waste transfer stations
from coming into the neighborhood.
Joe is also the Second Vice-Chair of the Long
Island City Business Development Corporation,
where he led the effort to promote Long Island
City as New York’s next central business district.
Joe is a co-founder of the Long Island City Patricia
Manning Memorial Fund for Childhood Cancer, and
past President and Chairman of the Board for the
American Cancer Society, Queens Division. He currently
serves as a national delegate at LaGuardia Community
College, where he helped develop the Adopt a Computer
program and mentoring program.
Joe is the proud father of a daughter who is a
schoolteacher and a son who will be graduating
from St. John’s Law School next year. He is the
proud Grandfather of Morgan Marie.
Unlike the others, he has a real record of fighting
for our neighborhoods.
