Yonkers Insider: Election 2021 Desk: Candidate Spotlight Virginia Perez Democrat for Westchester County Legislator in the 17th District: Elections 2021.

 

We have another Candidate Spotlight for Election 2021 to introduce our readers to Virginia Perez, Former Westchester County Legislator in the 17th District seeks a return to Elected Office by Running for Westchester County Legislator in 17th District in the June 22nd Democratic Party Primary.

Virginia was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the USA with her family as a young girl. She attended Yonkers Public Schools and graduated from Saunders Trade and Technical High School. Wanting to stay close to her family, She decided to attend Monroe Community College, where She acquired degrees in Hospitality and Business Management. During College, She was awarded an internship at the Plaza Hotel, where She was hired upon graduating.

In Late 2007, when Hurricane Noel ravaged the Dominican Republic, Virginia mobilized the Southwest Yonkers Community. Using her parent's living room as headquarters, She collected 10 Large cargo containers of Food, Water, Clothing, Shoes, Medicine, Toys and More. She followed through with shipping them and saw that they were distributed successfully to families in dire need on the Island.

When her brother was murdered, she first sought to organize a neighborhood watch program entitled Help Put Yonkers on the MAP (Martin Antonio Perez). She began to lobby the State Senate to pass legislation that She named Martin's Law. It requires Landlords, Property Owners and Management Companies to take more responsibility for the Safety of their Tenants and the general public. Frustrated with the slow pace of the Political Process, She decided she needed to Run for Office herself.

She took Office on January 1st, 2012 after Defeating then Westchester County Legislator Jose Alvarado in the 2011 Elections and She didn't seek Re-Election in 2019 for her seat, so She may spend more time on her Business called Pet Luxury. One thing about Virginia Perez, she is a fighter for the People that She represented and She called them Her Extended Family and She always came to visit her Constituents on a Regular Basis. 

She faces a June 22nd Democratic Party Primary Against Democrat Westchester County Legislator of the 17th District, Jose Alvarado and Democrat London Reyes. Virginia has run about both of these Candidates from the Past and She came out on top in both of those races.
