Growing up a NOVA native Muslim, I was taught in Sunday school to leave a place better than I found it. At home, my Bangladeshi parents modeled how to show up for my community with friends, neighbors, colleagues, and even strangers. That’s how I grew up — with a foundation in service and commitment to community.
Service is my North Star. In high school, I served on the Reston Board of Governors as a teen representative. At Virginia Tech, alongside pursuing my degree in Crop & Soil Environmental Sciences, I led a student organization. After college, I served on the Board of the ADAMS Center for several years. In 2016, I committed to being a Fairfax County Election Officer and I’ve now worked in 22 elections.
When we were all facing existential questions in 2020, I came to the realization that I needed my daily work to reflect my upbringing, which meant being in service to my community. I found that fulfillment in county government, where I proudly support a robust park system. I also found the service to my colleagues through my union — SEIU — to be incredibly impactful, including our work negotiating the first-ever union contract for Fairfax County General Government Employees, which includes over 11,000 people.
I am running for Herndon Town Council to bring my public service resume to work for my neighbors. Let’s do great government together.
Even $5 helps build a grassroots campaign. If you’d prefer, mail a check to P.O. Box 140, Herndon, VA 20172 made out to “Yasmin for Herndon.”
