Meet Aida Macedo

Aida Macedo is a Whittier homeowner, attorney, and mom who owns a small business based in Whitter and is committed to strengthening our community. She lives in Whittier with her husband, their young son, and their two dogs.

Growing up in Southeast Los Angeles in a strong immigrant family, Aida often became her mother’s advocate and problem solver, learning early on how to work hard, speak up, and push through barriers. Those experiences shaped her lifelong commitment to expanding opportunity and fairness for families and communities who need it most.

Aida became the first in her family to graduate from college, earning her degree from UC Irvine with honors and her law degree from UC Davis, earning the Public Service Award. She began her career in public service as an Equal Justice Works Fellow, providing free legal assistance to low-income communities. She later served as Chief of Staff for a city council district in the Central Valley, strengthening neighborhood services and gaining firsthand experience in local government.

Over the years, Aida has worked as a civil litigator, policy advisor, and advocate focused on supporting working families, small businesses, and community nonprofits. Her work has been recognized across California, earning multiple honors from bar associations and the prestigious Marshall Memorial Fellowship.

Today, Aida is running for Whittier City Council in District 4 to bring fresh leadership, integrity, and accountability to City Hall. She is committed to keeping Whittier safe, welcoming, and full of opportunity where every family has the chance to thrive.
