Miguel Alonso is a life long resident
of the 37th Council District. He was born on October
18th 1968, in San Juan, Puerto Rico to Lydia and
Miguel Alonso. He has lived his entire life in
the East New York and Bushwick section of Brooklyn.
Miguel is the second oldest of four children.
Being a product of the community, Miguel also
attended Lyndon Baines Johnson Elementary School
and Halsey Middle School 296 in district 32. This
has made him understand the importance of maintaining
a basic quality education for the residents of
Bushwick and East New York. This led Miguel into
the classroom where he taught Social Studies at
Halsey Middle School 296. He taught there from
1989-1997. While teaching, Miguel’s concern for
the underprivileged in his community led him to
organize numerous drives to collect food, clothing
and other goods to assist those in need.
The time has come for our community to be progressive
and move towards the 21st century with true leadership
that will make a difference. If I get elected,
I will work together with community residents,
school administrators and community leaders to
make our community a viable place to raise our
families. Issues that we will address working
cooperatively will be economic development, education,
housing, senior citizens and crime. I will be
the voice of the unheard and bring pride, hope
and respect to our community. For a number of
years, we have been getting the crumbs; now the
time has come for us to take the whole cake. Together
we can and I will lead our community on the road
to prosperity by putting back the funds into the
community.
