“Taking You From The NOW To The NEW”

(Advertorial By: Carla-Joy Sisco Candidate for City Council District 2, Paid for by the Carla-Joy Sisco Campaign)

My name is Carla-Joy Sisco, and I want to represent District 2 because I believe in the power of community, the strength of opportunity, and the promise of a brighter future for every resident. I believe in empowering people and restoring hope.

For over 40 years, I have dedicated my life to to community and public service, and I am ready to bring that experience, passion, and vision to the people of District 2.

My journey began as a teenage campaign door knocker, and I saw the power that one person has to help others succeed and to help create change.

I went on to a career in finance, but my heart led me to the nonprofit and public sectors, where I found my true calling: serving others. At the University of Pennsylvania, I worked to develop programs that empowered students and strengthened communities. Later, I co-founded a nonprofit for at-risk youth, expanding its mission to provide transitional housing for single parents recovering from addiction. These experiences taught me that real change happens when we uplift those who need it most.

For the past 13 years, I’ve called Texas home. In San Antonio, I worked with CPS Energy’s Community Utility Engagement Program, helping families save on utility bills and find financial stability. Today, as an IT Business Relationship Manager, I continue to solve complex challenges with innovative solutions.

But my work doesn’t stop there. I’ve volunteered to feed the homeless, mentor students, and teach life skills in prisons and detention centers. I’ve seen firsthand the resilience of our community and the potential we have to thrive when we work together.

My vision for District 2 is clear: workforce readiness, safe and secure communities, and healthy aging. I want to create opportunities for every resident to succeed, ensure our neighborhoods are safe, and support our seniors with dignity and care. Together, we can build a District 2 where families prosper, businesses grow, and no one is left behind.

This is our moment to create lasting change. I am ready to fight for you, to listen to you, and to lead with you. Together, let’s build a brighter future for District 2.
