- Sam Jammal grew up in the communities in and around California’s 39th District, raised by working class, immigrant parents from South America and the Middle East.
- Recognizing law as a key lever for pursuing justice, equality and change, Sam studied at The George Washington University Law School, focusing on civil rights.

- During the 2008 presidential election, Sam served as Chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Latino Voter Protection Task Force and worked on the Obama campaign. After the election, Sam stayed in Washington to serve as Legislative Counsel in the United States Senate where he focused on civil rights, labor and national security issues.
