About Omed
Leadership grounded in community
Omed is a community-based advocate and technologist running for the United States House of Representatives in California’s 11th Congressional District. His work has focused on how public systems operate in practice and how policy decisions affect families, workers, and local communities.
As a parent raising children in San Francisco, Omed approaches public service through lived experience. He views effective government as something that should reduce uncertainty in people’s lives, improve access to opportunity, and operate with transparency and accountability.
Omed was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and completed his early education there before traveling to the United States for higher education and professional pursuits. Drawn by the country’s openness, civic culture, and opportunities for innovation, he ultimately chose to make the United States his second home. His work has focused on technology, and he has emphasized the importance of civic participation and public trust in democratic institutions.
For more than a decade, Omed has worked on technology and policy-related projects focused on problem-solving and systems analysis. His approach emphasizes understanding how institutions function, identifying points of failure, and improving outcomes without favoritism or ideological rigidity.
His policy priorities include housing affordability, freedom to healthcare, and educational opportunity. He has also highlighted the role of technology in strengthening transparency, efficiency, and public accountability in government.
Omed is running for Congress to support a political culture that reflects the experiences of working families. He has stated that representation should be grounded in the communities affected by policy decisions and guided by the long-term public interest.
His priorities include:
On Gov Accountability & Shutdowns
In the next government shutdown, children shouldn’t be the ones paying the price. This isn’t about left versus right in Washington — it’s about weak laws that allow dysfunction to keep hurting families. Government should be built to protect people, not stall their lives.
On Immigration
No human being is illegal. Immigration policy should be enforced with law, order, and humanity — not language that strips people of dignity. A nation built by immigrants can secure its borders without abandoning its values.
On Cost of Living
When the gap between those who have everything and those who can barely get by keeps widening, it threatens the stability of the entire country. Closing that gap isn’t about punishment or class warfare — it’s about smart policy that gives working families a fair chance.
On ICE Law Enforcement
Immigration enforcement must follow the law, but it must also respect human dignity and due process. When enforcement becomes fear-driven or detached from accountability, it harms families, communities, and public trust. We can secure our system while rejecting cruelty and protecting the rights of every person.
Omed’s Family
Family is where policy becomes real
Omed’s family is at the center of why he is running for Congress. As a father of five children born and raised in San Francisco, he sees public policy not as an abstract debate but as something that shapes daily life — from the quality of local schools and access to healthcare, to housing stability and the cost of raising a family in one of the most expensive regions in the country.
His commitment to public service is grounded in responsibility: building a future where families can raise their children with security, dignity, and opportunity.
