Rasham Nassar: Bainbridge Island (District 5 - Central) Candidate

Rasham Nassar is an Island mom and farmer who recently became involved in local environmental advocacy. Through her efforts, she connected with a passionate and caring community whose concerns for the future of our Island mirrored her own personal apprehension for the future of our world. Nassar was born in 1983, the eldest daughter of an immigrant who came to America in 1967. She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 2007. In the years following graduation, her career path included law, management, and journalism. Her husband brought her to Bainbridge Island, his family's home for over 30 years, after a 2 year tour of the world by bicycle. The insights gleaned from their extensive travels inspired a mutual dream to live simply and sustainably, and together they started a small organic farm. Meanwhile, Rasham began working for the family business as a Certified Real Estate Appraiser Trainee, and in 2016 they welcomed a son. His presence in their life has inspired Nassar to rise on behalf of all our children: it is with respect to their future inheritance of our world that she bases her campaign.
