Biography
Amanda Septimo is the Democratic and Working Families Party member of the Assembly for District 84, a South Bronx seat she has held since January 2021, and won re-election on November 3, 2026. A lifelong Bronx resident, she worked for U.S. Rep. José E. Serrano and the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators before running for the Assembly, and sits on the Ways and Means, Education, Banks, Agriculture, Environmental Conservation and Veterans' Affairs committees.[1][2][3][4][5]
Amanda Septimo is a lifelong Bronx resident; her campaign website says she was born and raised there.[5][10] Her Assembly biography says she became aware of social, economic and environmental problems in her community at age 12 and began organizing around them in the South Bronx.[5] As a teenager she worked with The Point Community Development Corporation's teen activist program, A.C.T.I.O.N., and volunteered with the New York City Parks Department, tutoring local youth, and with the International YMCA.[5] She received a 2005 Youth Leadership Award from Community Board 2 and the New York Yankees.[5]
Septimo received the Posse Scholarship, a full-tuition scholarship to Vanderbilt University, where she interned with the Legal Aid Society on domestic-violence cases and volunteered as an intern case-work investigator with Metro Public Defenders.[5] After Vanderbilt she worked for U.S. Rep. José E. Serrano, for whom she had interned in high school, first as a Community Liaison and then as District Director, a promotion she received at age 23, over four years.[5] She later worked with the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA).[5]
Septimo ran unsuccessfully for the 84th Assembly District, then won the seat two years later, in 2020, succeeding Carmen Arroyo, and assumed office on January 1, 2021.[1][5] She was re-elected in 2022 and 2024.[1] Her committee assignments for 2025-2026 are Agriculture, Banks, Education, Environmental Conservation, Veterans' Affairs, and Ways and Means.[1] She also sought the Democratic nomination for U.S. House in New York's 15th Congressional District in 2026 but did not appear on the June 23 primary ballot, and ran instead for re-election to her Assembly seat.[1] She won the November 3, 2026 general election over Tyreek Goodman, according to unofficial results from the NYC Board of Elections.[2][3]
