Ammar Campa-Najjar

Ammar Campa-Najjar is a dedicated public servant, former Obama Administration official, and U.S. Navy Officer ready to flip California’s 48th Congressional District. A lifelong San Diegan and the first Latino-Arab American to run for Congress in the area, Ammar was raised by a single mother and began working as a janitor at age 16—an experience that instilled in him the dignity of hard work. He has already proven his electoral strength, earning more votes than any Democrat in the district’s history in his previous run.

Ammar’s deep commitment to service is highlighted by his military role at Naval Air Station North Island, Coronado, and his work as an AFT-union educator. His background has shaped his belief that a person’s zip code should never determine their destiny. In Congress, Ammar will focus on lowering costs, expanding universal healthcare, protecting reproductive freedom, supporting veterans, and taking on corruption.
