Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jon Rivera for New York State Senate District 61.
Jon is a lifelong Western New Yorker and State Assemblymember who has built a record of delivering results. His campaign is grounded in a simple promise: leadership that shows up for workers, families, and neighborhoods — not just when it is politically convenient, but every day.
Jon has already proven what people-first leadership looks like. In the Assembly, he has championed housing protections, refugee resettlement, education investment, lead poisoning prevention, and community development. He has secured major investments in housing, youth programs, public schools, libraries, local infrastructure, cultural institutions, and community spaces that families can see and feel.
That is exactly the kind of progressive leadership Western New York needs in the State Senate.
Jon is running to deliver living wages, affordable child care, good jobs, stronger schools, and more affordable homes. And he understands that protecting the environment is a public health issue — from reducing lead exposure to cleaning up contaminated sites and supporting sustainable development.
At a time when MAGA extremism is threatening our rights, freedoms, and democracy, Jon is clear about what is at stake. Western New Yorkers deserve a senator who will defend democracy, reject extremism, and fight for what is right.
Our Revolution was founded to build progressive power from the ground up — in city halls, school boards, state legislatures, and Congress. Electing Jon Rivera to the New York State Senate would strengthen that movement and send a proven fighter for working families to Albany.
Jon has delivered before. Now, he is ready to keep fighting for every corner of the 61st District.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with Jon Rivera for New York State Senate.
