After completing her studies, her focus turned to bolstering the educational opportunities available to the residents of her hometown. In 2008, she was appointed by the North Hempstead Town Council to serve as commissioner of the North Hempstead Housing Authority. Two years later, in 2010, she was elected to her first of two terms on the Westbury School Board, where she worked diligently to implement smart policies to manage costs, enhance educational offerings, and significantly increase graduation rates.

Siela's journey of public service led her to the Nassau County Legislature, where she was first elected in 2014 in a special election. Now in her fifth term, she has earned a reputation during her tenure as a diligent and inventive lawmaker. She continues to apply her knack for building bipartisan consensus to implement initiatives to protect the environment and safeguard our drinking water from hazardous contaminants; remove and renovate zombie homes; address mental and behavioral health challenges; implement public safety reforms like body cameras for all county police officers, and more.

Now, as a candidate for New York's 4th Congressional District, Siela is stepping up to be the voice of Long Islanders who are working tirelessly just to make ends meet while struggling to invest in the furtherance of their family's dreams. Her lived experiences have given her the insights to deliver pragmatic solutions that will provide hope for a prosperous future.
