Our Revolution is proud to endorse Anthony Driver for Congress, a South Side Chicago leader, labor champion, and progressive organizer who has spent his career fighting for working people and building power in his community.
Anthony Driver brings a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, policy leadership, and movement values to this race. As Executive Director of the SEIU Illinois State Council, Driver helps lead policy initiatives, organizing campaigns, and advocacy efforts on behalf of more than 160,000 union members across the state. In that role, he has fought for better wages, stronger labor protections, and policies that put working families first.
Driver has also been a leader in the movement for accountable, community-centered public safety. He served as the first president of Chicago’s Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, helping build a new model for civilian oversight and democratic participation in public safety decisions.
A lifelong South Side resident, Driver’s commitment to justice and opportunity is deeply rooted in the community that raised him. He is a proud graduate of Howard University, where he earned degrees in Political Science and History, and has been a strong advocate for HBCUs and the role they play in expanding opportunity.
Driver began his career in public policy as a Policy Associate at The Estell Group, the first and only Black woman–owned full-service government relations firm operating at the national level. That experience helped shape his understanding of how policy and advocacy can be used to advance equity and opportunity for marginalized communities.
Throughout his career, Anthony has shown that real change comes from organizing, coalition-building, and standing up to entrenched power. His work with organized labor, his leadership in public accountability, and his commitment to educational opportunity all reflect the values that Our Revolution fights for every day.
At a time when working families are struggling with rising costs, attacks on labor rights, and threats to our democracy, we need leaders in Congress who will stand unapologetically with the people — not corporate interests.
Together, we can send a proven organizer and champion for working people to Washington.
