Shanel Thomas-Henry
Shanel Thomas-Henry is running for NYC Council District 21. Currently, Thomas-Henry serves as Community Outreach on the LaGuardia Airport Redevelopment Program, managing annual Earth Day cleanup events in the communities neighboring the airport. She also collaborated with her team on the Ground Access program and the introduction of an all-electric bus fleet to the airport. She believes the green job sector to be the future of our city and a means of opportunity for low-income and working-class communities. She also supports the building and energy initiatives laid out in NYLCV’s policy agenda, such as expanding renewable energy infrastructure and enhancing energy efficiency across buildings and wastewater systems. As a Council Member, promoting green jobs and initiatives in the district and across the city would be one of Thomas-Henry’s top priorities.
