Beyond Politics: Irene Guanill, A voice for the Bronx
Irene Guanill is not a career politician. Irene is Your Neighbor. She is a proud Bronx resident, small business owner, educator, and community advocate dedicated to helping individuals and families build stability, opportunity, and success. She brings real-world experience and a problem-solver's mindset to the challenges facing our community. We have the same cares and concerns.
A life built on hard work & understanding
As a mother who proudly purchased her own home and raised her family through perseverance, Irene understands firsthand the daily struggles of working families, seniors on fixed incomes, homeowners, and small business owners in today's economy. Her life experiences are not theoretical; they are deeply lived and inform her dedication to our community.
Expertise that serves our community
As a licensed real estate professional, property manager, and educator, Irene has empowered countless families to achieve homeownership, navigate financial challenges, and build generational wealth. Her work with tenants, landlords, seniors, and first-time buyers provides a rare, ground-level understanding of the complex housing issues facing The Bronx.
A Bronx where everyone can thrive
The issues closest to Irene's heart are public safety, affordability, quality housing, education, and genuine opportunities for residents to thrive. She envisions a Bronx where people feel safe walking their streets, seniors can age in place with dignity, families can afford to stay, and small businesses can flourish. Irene is committed to common-sense policies that support law enforcement, responsible development, stronger schools, and real economic growth. Improving our community starts with listening, and Irene will work tirelessly with residents, leaders, and businesses to restore trust and deliver practical solutions.

"Irene Guanill is not a career politician. Irene is your neighbor. She is a problem solver! She is running for the New York State Assembly to restore common sense leadership, public safety, economic opportunity, and real accountability to Albany. Irene believes government should empower communities, not burden them. Elected officials must listen to the people they serve."
