Bio

A fierce advocate for justice and families, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove proudly represents California's vibrant, diverse 37th Congressional District in Los Angeles County. Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she serves as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, and the House Committee on the Judiciary. She is the Whip of the Congressional Black Caucus, Co-Chair of the Congressional Brazil Caucus, and Policy Co-Chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus. In Congress, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove aspires to L.E.A.D. by prioritizing Land, Economic Justice, Art, and Democracy. Through her work on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove was able to help secure the release of her constituent Eyvin Hernandez, a Los Angeles County Public Defender who was wrongfully detained in Venezuela for nearly two years. Additionally, she passed the GRATEFUL Act to ensure that locally-employed U.S. embassy staff-especially those from countries in the developing world-can immigrate to the U.S. as promised after an honorable career of service. Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove is also a fierce advocate for the African diaspora both in California's 37th District and around the world.

Prior to her time in Congress, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove spent her career advocating for communities and families. Upon graduation from the University of Southern California, she worked to advance job creation and public arts programs with Rebuild LA and the Los Angeles Festival, two nonprofits dedicated to uplifting communities in Los Angeles. In addition to her advocacy work, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove brings to Congress nearly a decade of experience serving the people of Los Angeles in local office and the state legislature. In 2013, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove was appointed to the Los Angeles County Commission on Children and Families, and in 2015, she was elected to the Los Angeles Community College Board. She successfully ran for California State Assembly in 2018 and California State Senate in 2021. She will always be a strong voice for justice and our most vulnerable community members as she continues her commitment to public service in the House of Representatives. She lives in the district with her husband, stepchildren, and rescue cats.
