REGINA PADILLA

FOR CITY COUNCIL

MEET REGINAGET INVOLVED
IMG_9977.jpeg

Meet Regina, a lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley and a local organizer. She was raised by a single mother, making a teacher's salary stretch for 2 kids. From a young age, she was taught resilience, hard work, and the importance of knowing your neighbors. She has spent the last 4 years working with families, local businesses, and community organizations across Allentown and Bethlehem to achieve common goals. Regina's commitment to public service began because she believes we're stronger as a collective, and she realized she wanted to be part of something bigger than herself.

​

Since then, she's actively working to close the protection from abuse (PFA) legislation gap, organized protests, community meetings, and has worked on campaigns of candidates that are for working people.

​

Regina is running for Allentown city council because she believes our community deserves someone who has on-the-ground experience and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to get the job done.

​

Regina's experiences as an organizer and child of poverty have given her a firsthand understanding of the challenges facing people in Allentown. Outside of work and public service, she enjoys painting and going to new museums to learn about science and history.

​

She is proud to call the West End home, and looks forward to continuing to serve her neighbors.

Regina fights for Allentown.
