About Nikki Perez
Since being elected to the Burbank City Council, with the then-highest number of votes in the city’s history, Nikki Perez has been our champion in city hall, breaking down barriers and opening doors for us all.
Born and raised in Burbank, Nikki is the daughter of parents who immigrated from El Salvador and Guatemala. She attended Burbank public schools and began her career in public service with her first job as a City of Burbank CREST worker. She then spent her career in public service as a social worker and homeless services project manager. Before being elected to Council, she served as Chair of the Burbank Library Board of Trustees.
Her election made history. Nikki became Burbank’s first Indigenous and openly LGBTQIA+ councilmember. She went on to serve as the youngest Mayor in the city’s history and the first Burbank Mayor to become a mother while in office.
But for Nikki, breaking barriers has never been about collecting titles. It is about opening City Hall to the people who have too often been overlooked, unheard, or told to wait their turn.
