Garcia-Guerra has lived in Mount Kisco since 2019.

First elected in 2023, she sits on the village’s Complete Streets Committee, Climate Smart Committee, Steering Committee, and is the chair of the Hispanic Heritage Committee.

She was also a member of the ad hoc organization that fought off the siting of a cell tower at Leonard Park.

Garcia-Guerra last year organized the community’s first Hispanic Heritage Festival. It was a “community collaborative event” that was participated in by village staff, local houses of worship, Hotel MTK, Northern Westchester Hospital, the Boys & Girls Club, Neighbors Link, and many local businesses and restaurants.

Angie grew the Hispanic Heritage festival this year. This year’s food vendors provided food with origins from Cuba, Peru, Guatemala & Mexico. Entertainment performers provided representation of Ecuadorean and Honduran cultures and music from all of Latin America and beyond. It was a festival that brought the entire community together in celebration. The festival also included inspirational speakers of hispanic origins. Lorena Curipoma, of Lorena’s Juice Bar in Mt Kisco, shared her story of determination & resilience to achieve her dream of owning her own business. Alfredo De Los Santos, retired Staff Sergeant from the US Army, shared his patriotic and inspirational story of nearly losing his life in Afghanistan. Alfredo overcame unimaginable challenges and became a medal winning paralympian for the US national team and an inspiration for veterans of US armed forces. The festival highlighted the valuable contributions of the Hispanic/Latino community to Mt Kisco and our country. See the highlights of the festival here.

She also started a children’s chess club at the local library.

Garcia-Guerra homeschools her son and helps organize educational and recreational activities “to enrich the homeschooling experience of her growing network while supporting local businesses”.

Garcia-Guerra, who is bilingual, earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from CUNY Brooklyn and had plans to pursue a legal career.

However, her professional experiences in legal firms and nonprofits “led her to the conclusion that she could best serve as an educator,”.

A classroom teacher for more than a decade, Garcia-Guerra received her master’s degree in elementary education from Pace University and her master’s in English from CUNY Lehman.

Angie’s inclination to social services led her to identify and add resources to the Village’s website. The additions included resources for immigration, worker’s rights, healthcare, domestic violence, and legal services. Angie hopes that these resources will help inform residents as the navigate through varying challenges faced by our community.
