“Yassamin Ansari is a tireless advocate for everyday Arizonans, a proven legislator with a track record of accomplishments and a soon to be member of the United States Congress who will deliver real results. I strongly endorse Yassamin and look forward to working with her to make our communities safer, tackle the climate crisis with the fierce urgency of now and lower the cost of living.” 

Democratic Whip Clark issued the following statement: 

“Yassamin Ansari is a powerful champion for Arizonans. As Phoenix’s Vice Mayor and a City Councilwoman, she fought for reproductive rights, climate action, good-paying jobs, and affordable housing. With her voice and vote in Congress, we will secure freedom and opportunity for all. I’m proud to endorse her campaign and look forward to working with her in the People’s House.” 

Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse issued the following statement: 

“Yassamin Ansari is a tremendous leader and dedicated public servant. From her work fighting for working families on the Phoenix City Council to the groundbreaking Phoenix Promise program she established to support low-income students, Yassamin has been a true champion for her community. Her work protecting our environment, fighting climate change, and rebuilding our infrastructure has made a real impact, and she’ll continue that critically important work in the U.S. Congress. I’m proud to endorse her campaign, and look forward to her continued service and leadership.” 

Yassamin Ansari issued the following statement:

“I’m so honored by these powerful endorsements from Members of House Democratic Leadership. There are many lawmakers I look forward to collaborating with in Congress and these five are at the top of that list. They are leaders in the House both in the leadership positions they hold, but also in the examples they set as extraordinary policymakers.
