Frankie Malacaria

Frankie Malacaria is a dedicated political and community organizer with four years of experience fighting for working-class families and building grassroots power in Scranton. He is running for Scranton City Council because he believes that working-class Scrantonians deserve more, not more of the same politics that put profit and power over people. He will fight for low-cost housing, fair wages, and real accountability at City Hall.

Frankie’s commitment to democracy runs deep. Just last year, he helped register over 8,000 new voters, an effort rooted in the belief that a healthy democracy depends on broad participation. By empowering more people to make their voices heard at the ballot box, Frankie has been working to build a more representative and accountable government.

As a lifelong advocate for social justice, Frankie stands proudly with the LGBTQIA+ community, championing equal rights and anti-discrimination policies. Frankie is also in strong solidarity with labor unions and the workers they represent. He has worked to organize community support for strikes and labor actions, showing up on picket lines and helping amplify workers' demands for fair wages, safe conditions, and the right to collectively bargain.
