Dylan Pantojas
Running for Allentown City Council to build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous city for every family.
Dylan Pantojas
Candidate for Allentown City Council
Background
Rooted in Community, Committed to Allentown
Dylan Pantojas was born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn — communities that taught him early what it means to look out for your neighbors, fight for what's fair, and never take your block for granted. When his family relocated to the Pocono Mountains, Dylan learned a different side of Pennsylvania: tight-knit towns, working families, and the kind of quiet resilience that doesn't make headlines but holds communities together.
In 2019, Dylan made the Lehigh Valley home — and he hasn't looked back. Over the past several years, he has built his life here, invested in this community, and witnessed firsthand both the promise and the challenges facing Allentown families. That lived experience — from the streets of New York to the mountains of Pennsylvania to the neighborhoods of the Lehigh Valley — gives Dylan a perspective that is rare in local politics.
Dylan is running for City Council because he believes Allentown deserves a representative who understands struggle, values hard work, and will show up every day — not just on Election Day. His diverse background isn't just his story. It's his motivation.
What Dylan Stands For
Platform Priorities
01
Safer Neighborhoods
Support community-led safety programs, increase neighborhood lighting, and ensure our first responders have the tools they need to keep Allentown families safe.
02
Parking Relief
Address Allentown's parking crunch by exploring smart-parking solutions, improving residential parking permit systems, and making sure local residents aren't forced to circle their own blocks for hours.
03
Affordability & Cost of Living
Fight for fair housing policies, protect working-class families from soaring property costs, and ensure that Allentown remains a city where regular people can afford to live and build a future.
04
Transparent Government
Keep City Hall accountable by pushing for clear online tracking of city spending, easily accessible public digital records, and regular community town halls where residents can directly voice their concerns.
