about me

I am Alexander Hackett, and I am honored to announce my candidacy for City Council at Large in Wilmington. As a dedicated public servant and community advocate, I bring a wealth of experience and a proven track record of driving economic growth, fostering sustainable development, and making a positive impact on the lives of individuals within our community. 

As a proud native who grew up and obtained my education in Wilmington, and now having purchased my first home here, I am deeply invested in our community.

As a native of Delaware, I grew up and obtained my education within the city of Wilmington. In addition, I purchased my first home within the city, as well. With my roots firmly established in this city, I can confidently state that I am deeply invested in our community.

My previous roles, as well as my current role as a confidential advisor for the economic development administration, has led me to play a pivotal role in implementing transformative projects, creating quality jobs, addressing workforce disparities, and allocating funds to revitalize communities. These experiences has given me the opportunity to engage in and contribute to different initiatives such as the “Build Back Better Challenge” and the “Good Job Challenge”, which provided job opportunities within the community, as well as, nationwide infrastructure improvements.
