Mayor Muriel Bowser has nominated Mr. Sean Norman for appointment to the Commission on Human Rights, filling a vacancy left by Charlotte Clymer. This nomination is in accordance with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Human Rights Act of 1977. Mr. Norman, a resident of Ward 5, is proposed to serve for the remainder of an unexpired term that will conclude on December 31, 2027. The Mayor has provided biographical information about Mr. Norman, highlighting his extensive experience in community leadership, advocacy, and education, particularly within the Deaf and LGBTQ+ communities.

The Council of the District of Columbia is set to consider a resolution to confirm Mr. Norman's appointment. The resolution states that upon adoption, a copy will be transmitted to both the nominee and the Office of the Mayor, and it will take effect immediately. Mr. Norman's qualifications include his current role as a substitute teacher, his previous position as a Program Coordinator in the Mayor's Office of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing, and his leadership roles in various community organizations. The resolution has been reviewed for legal sufficiency and found to be unobjectionable.
