Asaad AlNajjar, a seasoned civil structural engineer with over 35 years of service to the City of Los Angeles, is running for mayor in the upcoming 2026 election. His campaign is deeply rooted in the values he holds dear—family, community, and a commitment to public service.

A Family-Oriented Vision for Los Angeles

AlNajjar’s personal life reflects his dedication to education and community. His wife, an accomplished civil engineer working at the City of Los Angeles, and their two daughters, Hiba pursuing a medical degree at UCLA Medical School and Huda graduate of USC Keck school of Medicine, exemplify the importance of education and civic engagement in his family. This strong familial foundation informs Alnajjar’s approach to leadership, emphasizing the extension of familial love and responsibility to the broader community.

Engineering a Better Future

Throughout his career, AlNajjar has been instrumental in implementing key infrastructure projects across Los Angeles. His work includes the development of major metro lines, the installation of energy-efficient LED street lighting, and the advancement of the city’s Green New Deal initiatives. These projects not only improved city infrastructure but also demonstrated his commitment to environmental sustainability and public safety.

Community Engagement and Leadership

Beyond his engineering accomplishments, AlNajjar has been actively involved in community service. As a founding member of the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council, he chaired the Safety and By-Laws Committees, addressing local concerns and fostering community resilience. His participation in the Community Emergency Response Team and the Interfaith Outreach Committee under Mayor Garcetti highlights his dedication to inclusive and proactive community involvement.

A Mayor for the People

AlNajjar’s mayoral campaign is driven by a desire to bring practical experience and compassionate leadership to re-engineer City Hall. He aims to tackle pressing issues such as homelessness, infrastructure repair, innovation, smart city applications and public safety with the same dedication he has shown throughout his career. His vision for Los Angeles is one where the city’s leadership mirrors the care and commitment found within a family unit, ensuring that every resident feels valued and supported.

As the 2026 mayoral election approaches, AlNajjar invites Angelenos to join him in building a city that reflects the strength and unity of a close-knit family, where every community member has the opportunity to thrive. Work together for “Stronger LA”.
