Lifelong Democrat Jeannette García has spent her career fighting for fairness, accountability, and practical solutions that help people navigate systems that too often feel out of reach.

Through her work in public service and advocacy, Jeannette has worked alongside workers, families, and community members to push for stronger protections, more responsive government, and policies centered on everyday people — not just the well-connected.

In Yonkers, Jeannette helped organize more than 500 residents to demand accountability from developers and stronger protections for the community, bringing people together around the belief that growth should work for the people who already live here.

As Yonkers continues to grow, Jeannette believes the city's public systems must grow with it. In 2026, she ran for State Assembly on a platform of lower costs, stronger public schools, affordable healthcare, better transit, and support for working people across the city — uniting a grassroots coalition of workers, families, and advocates behind that vision.

That work doesn't end with an election. Jeannette remains committed to building a more affordable, accessible, and accountable future for Yonkers — and to the movement of neighbors who came together to fight for it.
