We’re excited to introduce you to Chaz Rotenberg, DCFPI’s new research policy intern!
Chaz is a DC native who grew up in the Woodley Park area. He attended Oyster Bilingual Elementary School and Georgetown Day School.
Prior to joining DCFPI, Chaz worked in the office of At-Large Councilmember David Grosso, where he researched a variety of pressing local issues such as gender pay equity, jury duty reform, community investment tax credits for affordable housing, and special education and early intervention programs.
Before working for Councilmember Grosso, Chaz worked for the State Fiscal Project at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, where he tackled issues including education, poverty, immigration, infrastructure, and tax systems.
Chaz’s interest in inequality stems from his upbringing and college coursework in contemporary American politics. He has a strong interest in Washington, DC and education issues, and particularly in addressing the growing achievement gap in the city.
Chaz graduated from the University of Michigan in May 2015 with a B.A. in economics and organizational studies.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing recreational soccer and basketball, following college and professional sports, and watching movies.
Please join us in welcoming Chaz!
