Our Revolution is proud to endorse Wala Blegay for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District, where she is running to bring bold progressive leadership to the seat long held by establishment figure Steny Hoyer.
Wala is no stranger to the struggle, and she has spent her career fighting for working families and healthcare justice. As a labor rights attorney, public servant, and Prince George’s At Large County Council Member, she has fought to expand economic opportunity, protect workers, and strengthen public services.
And, she served as a Maryland state delegate for Bernie Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, helping advance the political revolution that energized millions of Americans demanding a government that works for the many, not the few.
Blegay has built her career standing up for communities too often ignored by the political establishment.
Her leadership reflects the values that Our Revolution supporters organize around every day: economic justice, healthcare for all, strong public education, and real accountability for corporations and political elites.
Now she’s running for Congress to give Maryland’s 5th District the representation it deserves, offering voters a clear choice: more status quo politics that prioritize corporate power, or a bold progressive vision centered on working people.
Blegay’s campaign is rooted in the belief that our democracy works best when everyday people — not corporate lobbyists and big donors — have a seat at the table. She understands that families are facing rising costs and barriers to opportunity, and she’s committed to fighting for policies that deliver real relief and long-term change.
At a time when our democracy is under threat and working families are struggling to make ends meet, we need leaders who will challenge entrenched power and stand unapologetically with the people.
Wala Blegay is that leader.
Our Revolution is proud to support her campaign and the grassroots movement behind it.
Together, we can elect a new generation of progressive leadership and continue building the political revolution that Bernie Sanders inspired — one that puts people over profit and delivers for the many, not the few. ✊
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
