DOWN BALLOT CHAMPIONS
Silver linings this election come from crucial down ballot wins — which is why Our Revolution is dedicated to building progressive power from the bottom up!
Here are just a few highlights from our many down ballot victories:
Lateefah Simon will be the next member of our growing Progressive Caucus in Congress — joining some of our top progressive leaders like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Pramila Jayapal, all vocal advocates for peace who won their races by a wide margin.
Our Revolution has been in Lateefah’s corner since she announced her run to replace retiring Congresswoman Barbara Lee in California’s 12th District. And she’s a strong voice for healthcare, worker rights, and housing.
“These are local issues, but the federal government has an opportunity to bring back resources to the ground in our communities. The old party line isn’t working anymore,” Lateefah told us. “We don’t need to be scared of folks who are on the other side of our politics because we have been here before.”

Our Revolution is continuing to build progressive power in the heartland. Over multiple election cycles in St. Louis, we worked with President Megan Green of the Board of Alders to build a governing majority on the city council. This Election Day, we grew our influence by organizing to elect Marty Murray to the Missouri House and Alfred Montgomery as Sheriff of St. Louis City.
