Alexandra Hunt from Stripping to running for Congress

Alexandra Hunt is a public health researcher, a girls’ soccer coach, an advocate for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice, and an organizer. Alexandra ran for Congress in 2022, challenging a longtime local politician, because she didn’t want anyone in our community to be unseen or unheard, anymore. She then ran for City Controller in 2023. Though the campaign has ended, her commitment to building a Philadelphia in which no one has to live in the shadows, endures. Alexandra is continuing her activism on local issues of importance – from addressing the root causes of violent crime, to justice reform, from ending “heath care deserts” exacerbated by the closing of Hahnemann University Hospital, to ensuring true equity in public school education – there is no shortage of challenges facing Philadelphia. Alexandra continues to believe progressive solutions to those issues are within reach, and is committed to helping make them happen.
