Rep. Yassamin Ansari has spent her freshman year in Congress making national headlines.
She made national headlines for her travel to El Salvador where she tried, unsuccessfully, to meet with a man who was deported to that country as part of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort.
At the same time, she’s thinking about her political party – from who will run for president in 2028 to who is signing up new voters.
This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we are joined by Rep. Ansari to break down her first year in Congress and her attempts to work across the aisle.
