“A rising tide raises all ships”
/Baldwin Park is one of those great neighborhoods where you can live, work and play – and where residents frequently gather to socialize and enjoy the many parks and trails. Should you attend a neighborhood pot luck barbecue, chances are you’ll run into Asima Azam, an attorney, a mom and a candidate running in this year’s election for District 3 City Commissioner.
As an attorney, Asima represents neighborhood and condo associations with issues such as code violations and nuisances. This has helped Asima emerge as a community problem solver – a trait that became apparent soon after we sat down to talk to her about her vision for our city.
Helping create safe, sustainable communities people love living in and where small businesses can thrive is what drives her – and what inspired her to run for City Commissioner.
She sees this role as being a local problem solver who is accessible to listen to the needs of residents and business owners alike. Having served on County and City Boards for more than ten years has taught Asima all about balancing individual interests with those of the communities she hopes to serve.
