Meet Ashley Ehasz
Ashley Ehasz is a U.S. Army veteran, former Apache helicopter pilot, and proud native of Southeastern Pennsylvania. At 17, she joined the Army to pursue an affordable education and seize the opportunity to serve her country. The military gave her the structure and security she sought after growing up with challenges at home. If elected, Ashley would be the first woman in Congress to have graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, marking another milestone in her path of public service.
A Life Built on Overcoming Challenges
Growing up, Ashley faced many hardships, including mental health issues, substance abuse, and financial instability within her family. These difficulties led to frequent moves, instilling in her a deep desire for stability. After the tragic events of September 11th, Ashley felt a strong call to serve, joining the Army immediately after high school. She became the only woman in her class to graduate as an Apache helicopter pilot, deploying to Kuwait and Iraq under operations Spartan Shield and Inherent Resolve. Her leadership continued as a Captain, commanding aviation troops and serving in South Korea.
Battle-Tested and Committed to Change
After leaving the military, Ashley earned a Master’s degree from the University of Oxford through the G.I. Bill. She has worked as a policy writer, project coordinator, and government consultant, tackling issues like pandemic relief through the CARES Act. Now, Ashley is ready to bring her battle-tested leadership to Congress, fighting for affordable childcare, livable wages, and the protection of women’s reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ communities. As someone who has commanded in the military and understands the sacrifices required of public service, Ashley Ehasz is ready to take on the challenges facing American families today.
