​Nadeem A. Mazen

First elected to the Council in 2013, Mazen is now running for his second term. He said he brings a sense of activism to the Council. This summer, Mazen founded “The Slate for Cambridge,” which brought together candidates who were relatively new to Cambridge politics on a shared platform. Mazen said the Slate for Cambridge was an attempt to engage with the community more deeply and challenge the idea of a “career politician.”
