| Info | Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, I enjoyed a typical American childhood—watching basketball in the bleachers, riding bikes with my brothers, and then getting around to my homework.
That all changed in middle school when my father traveled to Jordan to care for his ailing mother and was denied re-entry to the U.S. by the Bush Administration. My family uprooted and relocated to stay together and fight for my father’s reinstatement. It took eleven years, but we won. That experience taught me that while the American dream is real, our country’s entrenched prejudice can take it away at any moment.
I worked hard in school so I could one day return to the country I loved. I attended American University and went on to Boston University for dental school. In 2019, I was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates as a representative of Loudoun County. For three years, I tried to drive our country towards the promise of what America can be in order to address our country’s injustices so that nobody else’s American dream can be stolen and pushed out of reach.
I took on MAGA Republicans, confronted Donald Trump, fought corruption, and championed a progressive vision that would create better, more cohesive schools, high-quality jobs, lower costs, enshrine healthcare as a human right, and fight the climate crisis that threatens the future of our planet.
Today, I’m a small business owner working to build out of the pandemic through my dental practice, helping everyday Loudouners become healthier with more opportunities to succeed.
I’m running for State Senate because we need to defend our democracy by fighting the influence of big money in politics, defending abortion rights across Virginia, and stopping gun violence in our schools, places of worship, and community centers. We can't afford to compromise our values by partnering with MAGA Republicans. Loudoun deserves a State Senator who will champion bold legislation that reduces everyday costs on families.
I fought for you in Richmond before. I'll fight for you again.
