YASSAMIN ANSARI

Yassamin Ansari served as the Vice Mayor of Phoenix and made history as the youngest woman ever elected to the Phoenix City Council, representing one of the most diverse districts in the nation’s fifth-largest and fastest growing city.

The proud daughter of immigrants and graduate of Stanford and Cambridge universities, Yassamin led the charge to pass the city’s landmark Climate Action Plan, fought for the protection of reproductive rights, and secured millions in free tuition for students pursuing community college and good trade jobs.

As she takes her fight to Congress, working families will continue to be Yassamin’s focus. From championing housing affordability to taking action on climate change, and from protecting reproductive freedom to strengthening workers’ rights, Yassamin will strive every day to better the lives of Arizonans.
