Justin Sanchez (EMPA 2022) Named to New York City Council

Comprising 51 districts across 5 boroughs, the New York City Council represents a diverse constituency and sits front and center in urban politics and policy. Justin Sanchez (EMPA 2022) is one of the Council’s new members, elected to represent District 17 in the South Bronx.

Sanchez, a lifelong New Yorker, has spent much of his public service career giving back to his neighbors in the South Bronx. Through his work as an organizer for multiple local Democratic organizations and staffing elected officials in the New York State Assembly, New York State Senate, and Office of the Bronx Borough President, he developed a firsthand knowledge of local politics.

This commitment to public service has motivated Sanchez to represent his community in the City Council while he works towards earning his J.D.
