Senay is a Ward 7 resident concerned with how complex but relevant policy decisions impact people, particularly those overburdened by environmental injustice and inequitable community investment. He comes from a policy, research, and social work background, having conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of civil rights and environmental issues impacting the most vulnerable communities at home and abroad, along with serving as a community builder with asylum seekers and immigrants in the DMV area with various organizations. He has worked to develop connections between community engagement and policy analysis to build diverse advocacy coalitions and movements on multiple initiatives leading to increased proliferation of clean energy projects, connections to natural spaces like parks and rivers, and addressing problematic polluters like trash incinerators, in Justice 40 communities from California to Maryland. Most recently, he has engaged with Maryland’s General Assembly and DC’s Public Service Commission on climate and ratepayer issues, including Renewable Portfolio Standard reform, as a consultant and analyst for local non-profit organizations. In his free time, he enjoys curling at his local club, riding his bike, exploring nature, and volunteering in his community.
