Giancarlo Durante Elizondo
Green Party candidate for Faraday
Green Party
Although I was born in Mexico and I am a proud immigrant, I have called London, especially South East London, home for the past 9 years. I want to give back to Southwark what it has given me: a home, culture, and an overall good experience. My main goal is to serve Faraday residents by understanding their experiences and listening to their feedback to identify their specific needs and concerns. I understand it will be a challenge, but I do not have any ulterior motives besides preserving the good things Faraday has and addressing its issues.
