Yassamin Ansari

Common Defense is proud to re-endorse Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) to represent Arizona in the U.S. House of Representatives. Yassamin has been a steadfast advocate for veterans and military families, consistently fighting to expand access to high-quality VA healthcare, improve mental health resources, and protect the vital community services that our service members rely on. 

“We are proud to stand with these champions in Arizona because they understand that supporting our service members doesn’t end when they take off the uniform, it is a lifelong commitment to the community. In a time when our democratic institutions are under threat from extremist interests, we need leaders like Adelita Grijalva and Yassamin Ansari who will fight for the rights of working families and the integrity of our republic. 

Veterans in Arizona deserve representatives who deliver real results on veteran healthcare, economic justice, and the protection of our core freedoms. These candidates bring the accountability and steadiness we expect from public servants. They have shown they are ready to hold the line for our democracy, and Common Defense is ready to mobilize our grassroots power to ensure these leaders continue their vital work in Congress.” —Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director at Common Defense
