About Alex Winston

I was born and raised on Commonwealth Ave. with my three older brothers and attended Boston Public Schools from K1 to 12th grade attending The Prince School, The Josiah Quincy School, The Tim, and finally high school at Boston Latin Academy.

After graduation I started working at my family’s business on Newbury St. in the Back Bay. I am proud to say that business which was started by my grandfather Robert Winston and our dad Maynard Winston over 75 years ago is one of the oldest businesses in the city and is still currently running strong with one of my older brothers at the helm.

After I left the business in 1998, I was able to be an at-home dad with our son AJ while my wife Daniela Winston started her residency at UMass Hospital in Worcester. AJ is currently making his way through Suffolk University. During that time as an at-home dad, I went to UMass Boston and earned my LAADC II and begin to work with people suffering from substance use disorder. I have lived most of my 56 years in Boston and am currently living in the apartment I grew up in with Daniela and our daughter Jaz, who is currently a 9th grader at Boston Latin Academy.  

My intention to run for Mayor is to serve the people of Boston and work towards improving some conditions to create a more calming, peaceful and safe place to live.
