Much like the story of many in Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District, Yassamin Ansari is the proud daughter of immigrants. She understands the unique challenges facing our neighbors: the rising cost of living, housing and heat waves threatening lives. Yassamin led the charge to pass the city’s landmark Climate Action Plan, has fought for the protection of reproductive rights, and secured millions in free tuition for students pursuing community college and good jobs in the trades.

She served as the Vice Mayor of Phoenix and was the youngest woman ever elected to the Phoenix City Council, representing one of the most diverse districts in the fifth-largest and fastest growing city in the country.
