Who is Alexander Caruso?
I’m a Gen Z substitute teacher and political organizer, born & raised in Bayside, Queens. Raised by an Italian father and Colombian mother, both in the legal profession, understanding the law, justice, and doing the right thing runs in my blood.
As a teacher, I know first-hand how broken our public education system is in NYC. I couldn't stand by working in a system that fails our children. I’m running for the same reason I became a teacher—for the kids. If we’re not building a better society for them, then what’s the point?
That means addressing our housing crisis, building better schools, and having a city government ran by tried and true public servants.
This is why I’m running for NYC Council District 19.
