Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian calls Glendale an exceptional city with "incredible diversity." 

In his Know Your Electeds interview, Najarian talks about the "direct impact" his job allows him. He also describes some of his proudest accomplishments, including Glendale's focus on affordable housing and the homelessness crisis. 

Najarian has served as the mayor of Glendale since 2019. His first job, and maybe the "best job" he's ever had, was being a lifeguard.
