KIRA ALEJANDRO
is a community advocate who believes that the local government must do better for our communities. She grew up on Brackenville Road in Hockessin and now lives in Yorklyn with her husband and their dog, Remy.
Kira is running for New Castle County Council because politicians failed her community in Yorklyn. For 15 years, politicians let real estate developers game the system and ignore basic laws. The community paid the price. This is a common story – not just in Yorklyn, but throughout Delaware.
In 2025, Kira co-founded the Yorklyn Community Association and helped her community fight back. She’ll bring the same commitment to County Council. She’ll be a voice for responsible development in Pike Creek, Hockessin, North Star, and Newark.
Kira worked with state officials to preserve nearly 30 acres of open space and expand Auburn Valley State Park – a $6.4 million investment.
Kira helped protect the underground aquifer that provides drinking water to thousands of people in Hockessin, Pike Creek, Yorklyn, and beyond.
Kira testified in Dover and convinced legislators to address a legal loophole that favored developers.
