Meet Tim: A Champion for Community, Resilience, and Purpose

Tim Gaspar is more than a successful entrepreneur — he’s a proud son of the West Valley whose life has been shaped by the very community he now works tirelessly to support. Born and raised in Canoga Park, Tim is a product of local public schools and a proud graduate of El Camino Real High School, Pierce College, and California State University, Northridge. His deep local roots have instilled in him a profound sense of duty to give back and uplift the place he calls home.

In 2008, with little more than a vision and an unshakable belief in service, Tim founded Gaspar Insurance to be a source of strength during life’s most difficult moments. His mission was simple yet powerful: to protect what matters most. Whether helping a family rebuild after a devastating loss or guiding a small business through unexpected challenges, Tim’s approach has always been grounded in compassion, trust, and the relentless pursuit of solutions. Under his leadership, Gaspar Insurance has grown into one of the largest independent insurance firms in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, serving thousands with integrity and heart.

Beyond business, Tim has devoted himself to causes that strengthen the fabric of the community. He has held leadership roles with numerous nonprofit and civic organizations, including the Discovery Cube Los Angeles, Metropolitan YMCA of Los Angeles, Viewpoint School Board, the Woodland Hills/Warner Center Chamber of Commerce, and the CSUN Nazarian School of Business. In every role, he brings the same energy and purpose: to make a lasting difference.

Tim draws daily inspiration from his wife, Christina, a dedicated attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, and their two children, JJ and Ry, who they are proudly raising in Woodland Hills. For Tim, family is both his greatest joy and his guiding light — the reason he strives every day to build a stronger, safer, more compassionate community for everyone.

    Tim’s priorities for the west valley

    1. Public Safety: Restore Law and Order in Every Neighborhood

    Los Angeles families and businesses deserve to feel safe—yet too many are dealing with violent crime, retail theft, and slow emergency response times. Public safety must be non-negotiable. Tim will fight to ensure the West Valley gets its fair share of resources and that every dollar is used to keep our streets, parks, and schools secure.

    – Hire and retain a fully staffed, well-trained force of police officers and firefighters.
    – Modernize outdated equipment and vehicles to meet today’s public safety needs.
    – Embrace smart technology that speeds up response times and reduces paperwork—putting more officers back in the field.

    2. Small Business Growth & Local Jobs: Cut Red Tape, Grow Opportunity

    Small businesses are the backbone of the West Valley’s economy—but too often they’re treated like an afterthought at City Hall. Tim will push for a pro-growth agenda that clears obstacles, rewards entrepreneurship, and delivers real opportunity to our community.

    – Launch a top-to-bottom review of permitting and licensing processes to eliminate delays and help new businesses open faster.
    – Crack down on unlicensed operators who undercut honest business owners.
    – End ineffective incentive programs and redirect funds to training pipelines that equip Valley youth for skilled, high-paying careers.

    3. Homelessness: End the Excuses and Deliver Results

    For nearly two decades, City Hall has poured billions into homelessness, with little to show for it. Encampments are growing, not shrinking. Tim will demand transparency, results, and accountability—because compassion must come with consequences.

    – Enforce camping bans and clean up encampments swiftly and humanely.
    – Cut red tape that drives up housing costs and slows down construction.
    – Prioritize cost-effective, community-supported housing, not oversized projects that ignore local input.

    4. Investing in Youth: Build a Brighter Future Today

    The future of the West Valley starts with its young people. We must stop reacting to problems and start investing in solutions that uplift and empower the next generation.

    – Scale early intervention programs that provide housing, education, and mentorship to at-risk youth before they fall through the cracks.
    – Eliminate bureaucratic delays that stall youth-centered services.
    – Partner with schools, nonprofits, and families to deliver sustainable programs that create opportunity and long-term success.
