At 34, Ariel Rofeim is the youngest candidate for the Beverly Hills City Council. As a former member of the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD), a Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) alumnus and the son of a small business owner, he believes he’s the right choice to lead Beverly Hills through its next chapter.
Rofeim grew up south of Wilshire Boulevard and attended Beverly Vista Middle School. He became a BHPD cadet after high school, going on to represent the department as a platoon leader. He later graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, studied at the University of Cambridge as a Pembroke-King’s Scholar and interned at the White House under President Barack Obama, working on both foreign and domestic policy.
