Hello! I’m Jeslin Shahrezaei [shah-rez-I-E], and I am proud to serve as your Lakewood Ward 1 Councilor. My husband and I chose to move to Lakewood in 2012 to raise our family, drawn by its proximity to the mountains and the vibrant metro area. We stayed because of the incredible community that has become an integral part of our lives.

With a career rooted in the nonprofit sector, I have developed a deep commitment to community-centered work. This experience has given me a unique insight into public-private partnerships, collaborative efforts, and solution-focused strategies to address the needs of our neighbors.

Since 2021, it has been my honor to serve as your Councilor. Together, we have achieved significant milestones, including adding two new parks in Ward 1, reducing the residential speed limits to increase safety on our streets, and updating our building and zoning codes to promote affordability. These accomplishments reflect a shared dedication to making Lakewood a better place for everyone.
