About Me

---

I’m Amaris, an American attorney, ethicist, proud Chicana mujer, and long-standing member of the Democratic Party now running to represent California’s 24th District in the State Senate.

Rooted in a deep commitment to justice, equity and service, I bring my experience in law, ethics and public service — including time with the U.S. Department of State.

A daughter of Los Angeles raised in a Catholic household and educated in LAUSD, I went on to earn degrees from Yale, Harvard Divinity School and Southwestern Law.

I was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2024.

As of 2025, I practice as a private attorney at Dordar Law and reside in West Hollywood, California.

Small business owner. Global leader. Diplomatic, but fearless and unwavering.

A polyglot. Fluent in Spanish and competent in Mandarin, Hindi, Tibetan, and Sanskrit, I believe in the power of diverse voices to shape bold, inclusive policy.

I live the truth of my values, stand up for what I believe and serve State Senate District 24 and California by challenging injustices and confronting the fears of radical change so as to create a more just society. 

More Jobs. More Diversity. More Water. More Affordable Housing. No Wildfires. No Plastic Straws. 

Notable contributors include Yale alumni, Harvard alumni, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the Mexican-American Bar Association, the Dolores Huerta Foundation & more.
