From the Candidate’s Website
Akeem immigrated to the United States from Pakistan at age 4. He graduated MIT in 2019 and shortly there after became politically and socially active in Cambridge, running for city council the same year. With his first successful election in 2021, Azeem became the youngest person elected to the Cambridge City Council.
I immigrated to the United States from Pakistan when I was four years old. I grew up on food stamps and Medicaid. I was lucky enough to get a full scholarship to MIT, where I studied sustainable energy. Serving as an EMT in Cambridge, I have helped residents at their most vulnerable.
During my first term, I focused on issues of housing affordability, public safety, the climate, & universal pre-k.
