Bold Progressive Slate for California’s Future
California has long been seen as a laboratory for progressive change — but whether that promise is realized depends on who we elect at every level of government.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support a powerful slate of candidates for the California State Assembly and Senate — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working people, and deliver real results.
Sean Frame — State Senate District 6
Sean Frame is stepping up with a grassroots, people-powered campaign focused on affordability, accountability, and building a government that works for everyday Californians. His campaign reflects the growing demand for new leadership that isn’t tied to corporate interests.
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair — Assembly District 65
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a community organizer and advocate who has built her campaign around economic justice, healthcare access, and uplifting working-class communities. She represents a new generation of leadership rooted in service, equity, and grassroots organizing.
Jackie Elward — Assembly District 12
Jackie Elward brings a community-first approach to her campaign, focused on transparency, accountability, and ensuring that public institutions serve people — not powerful insiders. She is part of a wave of candidates pushing for more responsive and equitable governance.
Chris Kluwe — Assembly District 72
Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player turned outspoken activist, has been a vocal advocate for civil liberties, LGBTQ+ rights, and free speech. He has consistently used his platform to challenge injustice and is running to bring that same courage and independence to Sacramento.
Liz Ortega — Assembly District 20
Liz Ortega is a labor leader and longtime advocate for workers’ rights. As a union leader, she has fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and economic justice — and she’s bringing that fight to the legislature.
Alex Lee — Assembly District 24
Alex Lee has already proven himself as one of the most outspoken progressive voices in the California Legislature. A democratic socialist and Medicare for All champion, he has led on housing justice, student debt relief, and expanding the social safety net.
Ash Kalra — Assembly District 25
Ash Kalra is a national leader in the fight for single-payer healthcare, authoring California’s Medicare for All legislation. A civil rights attorney and longtime progressive champion, he has consistently taken on corporate interests and fought for workers, immigrants, and marginalized communities.
Building Power Down the Ballot
Real change doesn’t just happen in Congress — it starts in our communities.
That’s why we’re proud to endorse a powerful slate of local leaders in California who are stepping up to fight for working people:
- Maria Pacheco (Fresno County Supervisor D1) – community advocate focused on equity, public safety reform, and investing in underserved neighborhoods
- Neil Polzin (Covina City Treasurer) – bringing transparency, fiscal accountability, and responsible stewardship of public funds
- Flo Cofer (Sacramento County Supervisor D1) – community leader and public safety advocate working to build safer, more equitable communities
- Jocelyn Sida (Fontana Mayor) – grassroots leader focused on working families, economic opportunity, and responsive local government
- Tamisha Torres Walker (Antioch City Council D1) – violence prevention leader and equity advocate centering youth, safety, and community investment
- Monica Wilson (Antioch City Council D2) – educator and public servant committed to transparency, accountability, and community-first leadership
From city halls to county councils, these races shape our daily lives — and build the foundation for bigger progressive wins. ✊
And, we’re backing several amazing candidates for local school boards and state boards — because these seats shape our children’s education, our tax system, and our communities.
- Brandee Marckmann (SF Board of Education) — educator and founder of the SF Education Alliance, fighting privatization and supporting public schools
- Samuel Sukaton (Board of Equalization, D1) — a progressive tax advocate working to make corporations pay their share
- Cody Petterson (Board of Equalization, D4) — focused on transparency and accountability in shaping fair tax policy
- Shant Kevorkian (Glendale USD Board) — a community leader and parent advocate working to strengthen public schools
- Nichelle Henderson (Superintendent of Public Instruction) — longtime public education advocate focused on equity, student outcomes, supporting educators
Let’s elect leaders who will put people first. ✊
Why These Races Matter
In a blue state like California, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future of the Democratic Party.
Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?
Down-ballot races are where real power is built. They determine whether we can pass policies that make healthcare a human right, tackle the housing crisis, strengthen labor protections, and take on climate change at the scale required.
California can lead the nation — but only if we elect the strongest progressives possible.
These candidates represent the future of that fight.
When we organize, we win. ✊
