As a Sikh Indian-American, Samay’s faith and upbringing instilled in him the importance of equity, justice, and opportunity. Samay’s parents, Navdeep and Monica, who moved here from India, have reinforced these principles throughout Samay’s life. Samay’s sister, Tamanna, represents a commitment to these values through her pursuit of a career in teaching. Samay continues to promote and ensure equity, justice, and opportunity for all through public service.
Samay’s mission began in high school, when he worked for Senator Cardin and the Maryland Democratic Party. These experiences provided a foundation on which to build, and cemented his passion for public service. In college, he went on to represent student interests in Annapolis and DC as the UMD Student Government Director of Government Affairs, expand field operations for County Executive Johnny O’s 2018 campaign, and craft inclusive 2020 Primary plans at the DNC.- We need to focus on student well-being. Preparing our students for success requires teaching them about personal well-being. Having a strong background in these areas is critical for success no matter what path a student embarks on post-graduation.
- We need to focus on equity and inclusion. Our education system must empower every student—no matter their ZIP Code—to reach their full potential. Doing so requires an education system that is built on equity and inclusive of all students from our extremely diverse County.
- We need to focus on educator advocacy. Our educators work tirelessly everyday to provide a world-class education to our students. Now more than ever, we must ensure they are able to meet the needs of their individual classrooms and that they have the support they need to thrive.
I plan to use my unique and diverse background to craft solutions to give every student the opportunity to succeed by charting a course for a more responsive, inclusive, and equitable education system and engaging with all our stakeholders—including teachers, staff, and parents—as we work to provide a world-class education for our students.
