Hi there, this is Rep. Yassamin Ansari — proud representative of Arizona’s 3d Congressional District and the first Iranian-American Democrat elected to serve in Congress.

Katherine Clark and Team Fair Shot said I could reach out today, because right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer just attacked me on X.

👆 This was Laura Loomer’s disturbing and downright racist response after I called her out for her disgusting hate speech calling for mass deportations of Muslim immigrants.

I was born in Seattle to U.S. citizen parents. I’m proudly agnostic and proudly Iranian-American.

Let me be abundantly clear: Assumptions, accusations, and threats like these are dangerous. Speech like this incites violence that can cost lives.

It’s obvious why Laura Loomer and other right-wing activists are coming after me. They want to silence any person who is calling this extreme administration exactly what it is: a fascist dictatorship.

While the Trump administration recklessly catapults us into another endless war, thwarts due process and free speech at home, and dismantles the foundations of our democracy, far-right extremists are working overtime to prevent us from speaking out.

But Team Fair Shot and I are not backing down. If you’re with us, please split a contribution of any amount between Team Fair Shot and my campaign right now:

Yassamin Ansari
