PHOENIX, AZ – Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC announced their support for former Phoenix Vice Mayor and City Councilwoman Yassamin Ansari in the race for Arizona’s Third Congressional District. 

CPC PAC Co-Chairs Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, and Jamie Raskin issued the following statement: 

“The youngest woman ever elected to the Phoenix City Council and the first Iranian-American ever elected to public office in Arizona, Yassamin Ansari is a trailblazer whose dedication to preserving a habitable planet took her from serving on the climate team at the United Nations to leading on the creation of Phoenix’s first Climate Action Plan. Throughout her campaign, Yassamin has championed progressive causes like ensuring full reproductive freedom, Medicare for All and universal access to safe, stable and affordable housing. Yassamin is a principled and talented legislator and we are proud to endorse her campaign to represent Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District.”

Yassamin Ansari issued the following statement:

“I will always fight for progressive policies that prioritize working Americans above corporate interests — in the pursuit of an economy that works for everyone, real climate justice, immigration reform, and affordable housing and health care for all.

That’s why I’m honored to be endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, and look forward to joining the Caucus when I get to Congress.”
