Ansari Releases New Video Highlighting First Year in Congress

WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) released a new video recapping her first year in office. The video highlights how, from day one, she has shown up relentlessly to fight for the people of Arizona’s Third District and take on Donald Trump and Republicans’ authoritarian agenda. WATCH Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03): I'm Yassamin Ansari, and it is the honor of my life to represent Phoenix, Glendale and Guadalupe. This year was my first as a U.S. Representative, and it was an extremely hard year for Arizona families, but as the youngest woman in Congress, I wasn't planning to sit back and wait my turn. I jumped straight into the fight. This year, I held 13 town hall meetings and 12 mobile office hours, reaching tens of thousands of Arizonans. We attended 165 community events and met with roughly 42,000 Phoenicians. We closed 394 cases and returned over $500,000 to constituents. Here in D.C. I introduced 20 bills and submitted over 400 appropriations requests. In committee, I fought back against oil execs, Jeffrey Epstein defenders, and corrupt billionaires deadset on protecting Donald Trump and his corrupt, authoritarian agenda to enrich him and his family at the expense of everyday people. This fall, during the longest government shutdown in history, I brought the fight directly to Speaker Mike Johnson. In a year full of mass deportations, wrongful detainments, and heinous treatment of immigrants, I traveled to detention centers, advocated for Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, and held Know Your Rights trainings so my constituents know how to handle ICE, immigration courts, and their constitutional right to due process. My team and I led key legislation on housing and utility affordability, regulating artificial intelligence, and healthcare. We hosted a read-in of Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill–all 1000 pages, right here on this lawn–to show the American people just how full of corruption it was. Arizonans want a fighter, and I'm fighting for them. It is the honor of my life to represent you in Congress. We'll see you in 2026. ### Print Email Share
