Lindsey
for Ward 24
Neighbor, advocate, and organizer. A mom of two, a public school parent, and an Edgewood neighbor of twelve years, running for Alder to fight for affordable housing, safe streets, and kids and families.
Meet Lindsey
She listens first.
Lindsey isn’t waiting for an office to start listening. She’s already out in the neighborhood: browsing at the local bookstore, out in the garden, and walking Whalley Avenue to ask business owners what they need to thrive. Wherever she is, she’s asking questions and really listening.
Already showing up for New Haven
- Organizing for inclusive mutual aid efforts
- Pushing for more equitable public school enrichment programs
- Created apprenticeships for hundreds of New Haven’s young people
- Stewarded $12 million in investment into New Haven, lifting up career pathways across the city’s nonprofit sector
That’s the alder she’ll be. Lindsey will hear what matters to you and your block, then carry it to City Hall as your advocate.
You may know her as Lindsey Tengatenga; she’s on the ballot as Lindsey Eichler.
The priorities
The everyday things that shape our lives.
Affordable housing
Expanding homeownership opportunities and keeping housing available for Ward 24 residents, not speculators. Banning investor-owned Airbnbs is a good start, but on its own, it’s not enough.
Read her op-ed →Safe streets
Safe sidewalks, clearly marked crosswalks, and corners where kids, seniors, cyclists, and pedestrians can cross without worry. Lindsey will hear where it feels unsafe and push City Hall to fix it.
Children & families
More ways for kids to learn, explore, and get involved, from youth recreation and the arts to environmental education. Lindsey will advocate for enrichment that every Ward 24 family can access.
From her family
Hear it from her daughter.
At a neighborhood gathering, Lindsey’s daughter told a room full of neighbors why her mom should be their alder.

Plan my voteYour vote, your block
Have your say on what happens on your street.
Only Ward 24 neighbors choose who speaks for Edgewood on housing, street safety, and our kids. Pick what fits your week and you’ll get a calendar reminder with the time and address, so Nov. 10 is one less thing to keep track of. It falls a week after the Nov. 3 election, which makes it easy to miss.
