    From his first job in church ministry to working for a presidential campaign [President Barack Obama]; from serving in the White House to advocating for small businesses; from fighting for the American worker to running for Congress; Ammar puts service first. 5

    The son of a catholic, working-class mother, Ammar was born and raised in San Diego. The family struggled, and Ammar sought work as a janitor in a church, where he later became a youth leader. He attended community college and graduated from San Diego State University, after taking time off to help reelect the president.

    In 2012, Ammar served as Deputy Regional Field Director for the president’s reelection campaign, where he helped oversee Southern California’s grassroots operations from a headquarters in San Diego. Ammar worked alongside thousands of people, who in the spirit of public service, volunteered their labor and love in advocacy of a common cause.

    Following the election, Ammar secured a White House position in the Executive Office of the President. When he was unable to afford the move to Washington, DC, he secured a loan to serve on the team that selected the 10 letters that the president read every night. Ammar read thousands of letters from citizens, learning much about the hopes, fears and daily struggles of the American people.
