About
Elected: 2024 (first term, freshman)
- Background: Iranian-American progressive; former Phoenix city councilwoman; climate and refugee advocate.
- Committees: Foreign Affairs (freshman assignment)
- District: Central Phoenix, majority-minority, heavily Latino and increasingly diverse urban core.
- Ukrainian American community: Phoenix area Ukrainian community, small but growing with recent refugee arrivals.
Bio Yassamin Ansari is a progressive freshman who brings an Iranian-American perspective and strong refugee-rights credentials. Her background on authoritarian regimes and displacement makes her a natural ally on Ukrainian refugee protection.
Ukraine Record
- No major record yet as a freshman.
- Her Progressive Caucus (progressive House Democrats) membership suggests alignment with humanitarian framings.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation, and the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
- Why it works with them: Refugee protection lines up with her progressive immigration work. The Iranian diaspora experience of fleeing authoritarianism parallels what Ukrainians face. Child abduction and war crimes are direct human rights concerns.
- Your connection: Phoenix area Ukrainian community, including recent war refugees. Broader refugee and immigrant advocacy networks.
- Avoid: Assuming she will automatically support military aid packages. Lead with humanitarian framing.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
