Elect Immigrant Champions to Office

It is time for us to create our thriving home, a place where immigrants and refugees are equal, valued and loved. To get there, we need legislative champions represented everywhere decisions for our communities are made.

To be endorsed by OneAmerica Votes candidates must demonstrate their commitment to work alongside us and deliver on the issues most important to our communities. 

OneAmerica Votes Leaders and Board Members understand what’s at stake. They come together to interview and vote to endorse candidates who have pledged to create a thriving home where: 

  • Families are together and free 
  • We are all safe 
  • We all have equal access to opportunity 
  • We all belong 
  • We all have our voices heard 
  • We all have what we need

Osman Salahuddin Headshot Osman Salahuddin

Legislative District 48, Position 1

Osman Salahuddin

Pronouns: He/him

Osman Salahuddin was raised in Redmond, where he has spent nearly his entire life. His drive to serve his community is rooted in his parents’ immigrant journey in pursuit of the American Dream. His mother has dedicated 20 years as a union-represented special education preschool paraeducator, while his father is a 35+ year small business owner. When hate surged during Trump’s first term, Osman was inspired by his parents’ resilience to stand up for the values that protect everyone.

After graduating from local public schools in the 48th LD, Osman attended the University of Washington, where he graduated with a BS in neurobiology while serving in his first foray in elected office as Student Body President, representing 45,000 students. He led on student issues like equity, international student health insurance, and affordable housing.

Before being elected, Osman worked as a researcher at Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center as well as the UW Medical Center in the Emergency Department. He has served his community on the Redmond City Council, worked for the King County Council, and contributed to non-profit boards and committees, including the Transportation Choices Coalition Board, LWSD Career and Technical Education Committee, and Asian Pacific Islander Americans for Civic Empowerment Board.
