Please join the Vincent F. Albano Midtown Republican Club and your fellow Manhattan Republicans on Tuesday, May 9th for a chance to hear from Republican New York City Mayoral candidate Paul Massey!
Paul Massey is running for mayor to deliver leadership that works for the people of New York City.
A proven leader and entrepreneur, Paul built a successful real estate business with operations in every neighborhood in New York City’s five boroughs. As mayor, he will govern as a problem solver and as a uniter, with a relentless focus on New Yorkers’ most pressing quality of life concerns: affordable housing, quality schools, good jobs and safe streets.
Paul has the vision and experience to deliver on these priorities, having co-founded one of the nation’s largest privately-owned commercial property brokerage firms. He launched Massey Knakal Realty services in 1988, with the company eventually employing hundreds of people and responsible for one-third of all building sales in New York City. Massey Knakal was ranked New York’s #1 investment sales firm in volume for 14 consecutive years and was sold to Cushman & Wakefield in 2014.
While leading Massey Knakal, Paul built trust and relationships with citizens and civic leaders in every corner of New York City, from Bed Stuy and Borough Park to Flushing and the South Shore. As mayor, he will be a leader for all New Yorkers and an advocate for this City as the world’s laboratory for urban innovation; a place where people of diverse talents come together to create, to build and to find new solutions to old problems.
An amateur boxer who has also run five marathons, Paul has always been a tireless worker at his company—where he arrived at his desk every morning at 6:45—and in his community. He serves as President of NYC Pops and as Chairman of the Board of New York City’s Tenement Museum, which tells the story of thousands of ethnically diverse immigrant families who called a single Orchard Street walk up building home.
He is also the Chairman Emeritus of the James Lenox House Association, an organization that provides affordable housing to older New Yorkers, and an active board member of his old high school.
Paul received a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Colgate University in 1982 and moved to New York City in the spring of 1983.
He has been married to his wife Gretchen for 28 years. They have three grown children, PJ, Sarah, and Greta.

Dear Friends,Dawn Simmons continues to defy the political odds by running a strong race for City Council in Harlem for the February 14th special election. Currently there may be 8 candidates on the ballot, 7 of them are Democrats which will divide the liberal vote in a low turnout special election. The ballot issues won’t be decided until January 31st – 15 days before the election.Dawn is the ONLY candidate on two ballot lines and has raised more money than even Bill Perkins, the Democratic front runner. On Tuesday, we expect Dawn to be endorsed by Jimmy McMillian of the Rent Too Damn High line. In this district we have 3,700 registered Republicans and 1,300 Donald Trump supporters. In a special election where a candidate can win with 2,000 votes, Dawn stands on equal footing with her Democratic challengers. Many Republicans like Councilman Eric Ulrich, Congressman Bob Turner, and State Senator David Storobin have won in special elections.The far-left Working Families Party is mounting a petition challenge against Dawn’s Rent Too Damn High line. To fight this challenge, we need your financial support. Please click here to donate to Dawn’s campaign. If you would like more information about Dawn, please visit her website dawnforcitycouncil.com.In 23 days we can make history by bringing Republican ideas and approaches into Harlem. Dawn has stepped up to the plate to make a difference in her community. Please join her in the fight to improve Manhattan – donate, volunteer, and vote.Best,Adele MalpassChair, Manhattan GOP |
The above event does not signify an endorsement by the Metropolitan Republican Club but rather is intended to provide our membership and guests with an opportunity to meet and hear from a Republican candidate for Mayor.

Jimmy McMillan—famous for running against Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2010 on a single repeated slogan—gave his backing to GOP candidate Dawn Simmons in the February 14 special election for a vacant City Council seat in Harlem.
Gathering with Republicans on the portico of City Hall, the man who made the phrase “rent is too damn high” famous first at 14th Street and Eighth Avenue, then across New York and the nation, urged Harlemites to support Simmons for the open post. Special elections, like the one triggered when Assemblywoman Inez Dickens exited the Council to head to Albany, are non-partisan: candidates create and run on their own customized ballot lines, which cannot resemble any existing row on the ballot.
Simmons has gathered petition signatures to run on the “Dawn for Harlem” and “Rent Too Damn High” lines.
Race to the finish!
Frank Scala, candidate for NYS Assembly in the 74th District, and friends will meet with voters at Tudor City this afternoon at 3PM. Run on over!
NYS 74th District Assembly Candidate Frank Scala and supporters will visit with Village View voters from 5-7PM.
