Carlos A. Orellana for Yonkers City Council - 2nd District.
Local Community and Labor Organizer, Carlos Orellana, Considering Bid for the 2nd District Yonkers City Council Seat
Carlos A. Orellana, a registered Democrat and a long-term resident of Yonkers, is announcing that he is considering a bid for The Yonkers City Council. The seat is currently held by Sandy Annabi, whose Second District seat will be left vacant after her term expires. Orellana has the experience and dedication to serve and to listen to the concerns of the people of the Second District and more importantly, to fully represent them in the Yonkers City Hall.
Orellana believes that there are many issues that need to be properly addressed in order to better serve the Second District and the Orellana Campaign hopes to highlight these issues during the campaign. Carlos A. Orellana will begin the process of reaching out to the Democratic Party District leaders in the area to win their support and ultimately the designation.
Orellana has been an active member of his community for several years; he has worked for several nonprofit organizations including a youth program with CLUSTER, after school programs with Westhab Inc., The Sharing Community, and Aids Related Community Services (ARCS) to provide essential services to disenfranchised communities.
In the past, he has worked as an organizer for Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) and is now organizing workers for United Food and Commercial Workers International (UFCW) to help them achieve a better quality of life. He has served on the boards of Residents for Equitable and Affordable Permanent Shelter (REAPS) to advocate for affordable housing in Yonkers, and is a member of SUNY Yonkers Committee to advocate for a technical school in the city.
Orellana and his wife Janet are active members of the San Andres Episcopal Church.
The Orellana Campaign will be open and transparent and looks forward to beginning a constructive dialogue with the residents of the 2nd District that he hopes to represent in City Hall.
The Orellana Campaign will be unveiling a campaign blog very shortly.
