Meet Salaam Bhatti
Husband.
Father of two boys.
Lifelong fighter for working families.
Born to immigrants and raised on Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, public libraries and schools, WIC and free school meals, Salaam knows firsthand how vital community and public service are. From delivering Meals on Wheels with his mom to fighting for basic needs across Virginia, Salaam has spent his life fighting to make government work for the people who need it most.
Reclaim the First
As a public interest lawyer, Salaam says, “I’m not here to make dollars — I’m here to make change.”
These changes include:
- Expanded SNAP and school meals for tens of thousands of Virginians
- Built a tool helping 2.5M families access $100M+ in aid across America
- Repealed unjust laws and strengthened TANF
Now, Salaam is running for Congress to get health care for all, tax the billionaires and trillionaire, and get big money out of politics. It’s time to reclaim the First for the people.
