Meet Tina

The neighbor in your corner — credentials that serve you.

You deserve a City Hall that listens and a city that stays livable. Tina Babajanians is a Newport Beach neighbor stepping forward as a guide: a speech-language pathologist who has spent her career making sure people are heard, and a restaurant owner who builds and problem-solves when there is no roadmap.

Tina Babajanians, candidate for Newport Beach City Council

Empathy

When peak-season and holiday pressures hit her neighborhood, her family, and their sense of safety, staying on the sidelines stopped being an option. She knows what it is to love this place and worry it is slipping — and she is channelling that into work with residents, not a spotlight on herself.

Authority

  • M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology; 15 years as a clinician — communication is speaking and listening
  • Restaurant owner — built a team and a business under pressure, creating community along the way
  • Newport Beach neighbor

The plan she holds with you

  • Listen in the neighborhoods
  • Push practical fixes on safety and quality of life
  • Demand a City Hall that works for residents

The goal is not a longer bio. It is the Newport you want — safe, livable, responsive.
