18-year-old Quentin Colón Roosevelt will balance high school and serving on the ANC.
On January 2, Quentin Colón Roosevelt became the youngest elected official in the District of Columbia when he was sworn in as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for Ward 3. The 18-year-old attends online high school and plans to begin college in the fall.Colón Roosevelt grew uppromote the priorities of other young people like himself who care about public schools, the small businesses they frequent, and the safety of their streets.
Now, Colón Roosevelt’s number-one priority is a new high school opening at 4530 MacArthur Boulevard, Northwest, in August. Colón Roosevelt wants to improve accessibility to the school through bike access on the Palisades Trolley and Capital Crescent trails, as well as increased bus service on MacArthur Boulevard.
The high schooler is not the first in his family to serve the public. The Roosevelt in his name comes from Theodore Roosevelt, his great-great-great grandfather. Though his family’s long history in government and politics partly influenced his decision to run for ANC, he says that his father, who is originally from Puerto Rico and works for the Department of Defense, was a role model: “He’s definitely instilled a great deal of respect for public service and commitment to serving.
