ABOUT JANICE LIM

My name is Janice Lim, and I am honored to be running for re-election to the Yorba Linda City Council. I have had the privilege of serving our community for nearly four years, including serving as Mayor from 2024–2025.

I am a fourth-generation Californian, a proud USC graduate, and the first student in USC’s history to graduate simultaneously with degrees from the Marshall School of Business and the School of Architecture. My professional background includes financial analysis, investment and feasibility analysis, land use, and real estate management

My greatest education, however, has come from serving others. Before seeking elected office, I spent nearly 20 years volunteering in our schools, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations. I also served six years on Yorba Linda’s Parks and Recreation Commission before joining the City Council.

I am running for re-election because I believe in Yorba Linda and in the values that make our community special: public safety, fiscal responsibility, strong families, local businesses, civic engagement, individual opportunity, and preserving the character of the Land of Gracious Living.

I bring a record of results and service in our community.  As your Councilmember and former Mayor, I have worked every day to make a difference in Yorba Linda—bringing resources home, protecting our community, supporting our seniors, strengthening our partnerships, and preserving the quality of life that makes Yorba Linda special.
