David Bazzy is the newest member of City Council, taking office in January 2011. He had been the eighth-highest vote-getter in the 2009 general election, and under Charter City rules, filled the vacancy created when George Darany left the council after being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives.

Mr. Bazzy, 52, is a life-long Dearborn resident. He graduated from Edsel Ford, earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and an MBA from Wayne State University. He is the president and COO of Kenwal Steel and Kenwal Pickling.

He and his wife, Cherie, have been married 26 years and have three sons, all of them in college. Two of their sons graduated from Divine Child. One graduated from Dearborn High School.

From 2005 – 2007, Mr. Bazzy was chairman of the Dearborn Charter Commission.  He also served for six years on the City of Dearborn Recreation Commission and more than six years on the Dearborn Zoning Board of Appeals.  He is also a member of the Masonic Temple and the Centurions Club.

Bazzy says while he may make some mistakes on council, he will always act and vote in a way that is best for the City. “I will work hard and I will listen.  I ran because I felt I had some value to add to the City during these tough economic times.” 

Managing a budget deficit with a declining tax base and finding a way to fill vacant buildings are Bazzy’s priorities.
