fighting for our community
A LEADER FOR OUR COMMUNITY
My name is Marcelino Quiñonez, and my story is our story. My family and I immigrated to the United States in the late 1980s seeking a better life. I’ve never forgotten my parents' struggle, and I am forever indebted to them. All my efforts have been geared towards making my parents proud because they sacrificed everything to give my siblings and me a better life. We grew up in South Phoenix, driving down Central Ave, and experiencing the authenticity and vibrancy of our community. I still remember learning how to swim at the Phoenix City pools on 19th Ave and Southern or 7th Street and Alta Vista. I was educated in the Roosevelt Elementary School District and proudly became the first person in my family to earn a college degree after graduating from South Mountain High School.
Now, I am bringing my commitment to our district to the Phoenix City Council. I will lead as I have in the past, with the community at the heart of every decision and with the belief that our community knows best. My name is Marcelino Quiñonez. I am an educator, a father, and a candidate for Phoenix City Council District 7.
My story is our story.
PRIORITIES for PHOENIX
My story is our story. I have always believed leadership is about listening and finding the right solutions. After countless conversations with you over the years as a teacher, nonprofit leader, and elected official these are my priorities for our district.
I am committed to fighting for the needs and aspirations of our community. My priorities include fostering economic growth, increasing the amount of affordable housing, and ensuring that our communities are safe and thriving.
