Rep. Ambureen Rana

Rep. Ambureen Rana (she/her) is serving her second term in the Maine House of Representatives. 

Rana grew up in Brewer and helped her parents run a small motel business, where she saw firsthand the struggles that too many families face trying to make ends meet every day. This sparked her passion for economic justice.

Prior to joining the Legislature, Rana spent three years working with LGBTQ+ people in Bangor, including revitalizing a program to support high school-aged youth. While at the Health Equity Alliance, Rana worked closely with people struggling with addiction and those entering recovery. Additionally, she worked alongside low-income advocates to increase dental care access to adults with MaineCare while working as a Community Organizer with Maine Equal Justice.

Rana earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Maine and a certificate in Leadership, Organizing and Action from the Harvard Kennedy School. She spends her summers gardening, discovering the wild strawberries and blooming flowers as they pop up around her backyard in Bangor.
