Meet Pierina
Pierina fights for the Bronx
Pierina is an Afro-Dominicana, daughter of immigrants, and lifelong Bronxite, born in University Heights and raised in Kingsbridge. Pierina grew up watching the hard work of her elders – selling oranges, driving taxis, cleaning buildings and schools – to ensure her generation had a chance at higher education and opportunity.
From the White House to the community board, and from advocacy to City Hall – Pierina has been and will continue to be a fighter for immigrant families, racial justice, affordable housing and good jobs.
Why She's Running
With looming threats from Washington, our community faces a defining moment. In just three years, Pierina has delivered real results—securing billions for housing, bringing good-paying jobs, and expanding youth programs. But she’s just getting started. With deep Bronx roots and now raising her own children here, Pierina is running to keep fighting for the investments, justice, and progress our community needs not just to survive, but to thrive.
