Raymond Santana, a former member of the Central Park Five, is launching his campaign for City Council in New York City, representing East Harlem and the Bronx. At only 14, he was wrongfully convicted, and now, over thirty years later, he aims to inject a new perspective into the political landscape. His platform addresses neighborhood issues like crime, housing, and a deteriorating community environment. Santana seeks to follow in the footsteps of Yusef Salaam, another Central Park Five member who recently won a council seat, emphasizing the importance of reformative voices in governance.
Mr. Santana is running as a Democrat to represent East Harlem and the Bronx, centering his campaign around his story and the issues facing local neighborhoods.
As a motivational speaker and activist, Santana believes it's time for someone outside the system to bring a different perspective to the city council.
