Introducing Alejandro Santana, Candidate for City of Ithaca Common Council.

Ithaca, New York, Release: February 15th, 2025. For Immediate Release

Alejandro Santana is a long-time First Ward resident in Ithaca, NY. He emigrated from the Dominican Republic, moving to Ithaca over 25 years ago. Alejandro is running in the Democratic primary to represent Ward 1 for the City of Ithaca Common Council. With a passion for public service and a strong desire to make a positive impact, Alejandro is committed to making Ithaca a better place to live, work, and establish roots.

​

There were very tough times growing up in the Dominican Republic, often with little money for food, clothes, or even shoes. Despite these struggles in poverty, Alejandro worked tirelessly and made education a personal priority. He was fortunate to meet strangers (now lifelong friends) from Tompkins County, who later assisted in his arrival to the United States. His immigrant experience offers a unique lived perspective, especially as Ithacans grapple with national immigration policies.

About

 Alejandro Santana

“There were tough times growing up in the Dominican Republic when we didn’t have money for food, clothes, and shoes. At times I had to use wire to keep my all-occasion shoes on. I struggled in poverty, but knew that with hard work, I could learn English and that it would open doors. It did. I was fortunate to meet, who are now lifelong friends, but then strangers, from Tompkins County, who were able to bring me to the US where I was able to build a life.  America has been good to me, blessing me with citizenship, a business, and four beautiful children. It’s come at a cost, but one that I’ve paid and been able to keep the life I’ve built and make it better. I want that for everyone in the 1st ward. I want them to achieve their dreams, have new dreams, and have their families and friends protected and have the ability to live safely and enjoy all Ithaca has to offer.
