A Positive & Productive Leader in Our Community

Trevor Macenski is a native Californian, spending most of his life in the Bay Area. He attended Novato High School and later earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning from the University of California, Davis. He then pursued a Master of Science degree in Environmental Policy from The Johns Hopkins University.

When deciding where to live and raise a family in the Bay Area, Trevor and his wife Kim fell in love with Benicia and chose to make it their home. They have three children—Drake, Nash, and Monroe—who all attend local schools and participate in community activities.

Since moving to Benicia, Trevor has been an active and engaged community member, serving in numerous leadership positions on local boards and commissions. These include the Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Design Review Commission, Soltrans Community Advisory Board, and Valero Community Advisory Panel. He is also dedicated to giving back to the community by volunteering as a coach for youth sports and supporting the Matthew Turner Elementary PTA.

In 2020, Trevor was elected to the Benicia City Council, where he served a productive and impactful four-year term. During his tenure, he guided the community out of the COVID-19 pandemic, helped develop and pass fiscal policies for the first time in Benicia’s history, restructured city departments to save the community money, and implemented the city’s largest investment in infrastructure in the last three decades. His colleagues on the City Council, along with residents and local business owners, recognized his exceptional work ethic and thorough preparation. His leadership and commitment to Benicia have made a significant and positive impact on the community.
