The Experienced Choice for our City Council
Raised in the Midwest by parents who are both educators, Ragheb credits his upbringing with instilling a strong work ethic, respect for environmental stewardship, and an appreciation for excellent public schools.
Adam holds a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and currently works as a Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer. In his role, he regularly brings together diverse viewpoints to craft collaborative, data-driven solutions for complex systems-of-systems—an approach he believes will serve Mercer Island well.
While his professional background focuses on the aerospace industry, he also has firsthand experience with utility right-of-way and route design, soil conservation, airport land-use permitting, tree law, renewable energy, and administrative law proceedings.
Currently employed as an Aerospace Systems Engineer, one of Adam’s important tasks at work is to bring together a broad variety of viewpoints, perform impact analyses of design decisions, and to craft a timely solution that is beneficial to all – this experience will be directly applicable to a city council position.
Personal views aside, he believes it is a City Councilmember’s job to listen to and represent their constituents, and thus Adam pledges to hear every island resident who wishes to be heard, even in the cases where their personal beliefs may differ from his.
