Keith Ellison for Minnesota Attorney General

By ALL, Endorsement, MN

Keith Ellison for Minnesota Attorney General

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Keith Ellison for re-election as Minnesota Attorney General.

Keith Ellison has spent his career standing up for working people, protecting fundamental freedoms, and holding powerful interests accountable. As Minnesota’s Attorney General, he has embraced the role of “the People’s Lawyer,” fighting every day to help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect.

Fighting for the People

Keith believes government should stand with ordinary people—not corporations or those who abuse their power.

As Attorney General, he has worked to protect consumers, lower healthcare costs, defend reproductive freedom, safeguard access to gender-affirming care, fight corporate misconduct, and ensure Minnesotans receive the justice and protections they deserve. His campaign is centered on helping families afford the essentials while defending the rights and freedoms that every community deserves.

Standing Up to Powerful Interests

Keith has never been afraid to take on the toughest fights — like prosecuting Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.

His campaign highlights his leadership defending Minnesotans from unlawful actions by the Trump administration because, as he says, no one is above the law. He has fought to protect voting rights, defend reproductive freedom, and stand up for communities facing discrimination and attacks on their civil rights.

That fearless commitment to justice is exactly the kind of leadership Our Revolution believes our movement needs.

Delivering Results for Minnesota

Keith has shown that progressive leadership means producing real results for working families.

As Attorney General, he has secured affordable insulin for Minnesotans, defended access to reduced-cost healthcare, recovered millions through opioid settlements, fought Medicaid fraud, challenged corporate abuses, protected consumers, and taken action against companies putting public safety at risk.

His work demonstrates that government can improve people’s lives when it is willing to confront powerful interests on behalf of the public.

A Lifetime of Public Service

Before serving as Attorney General, Keith represented Minnesotans in Congress for 12 years, where he championed consumer protections, workers’ rights, environmental justice, and civil rights. Earlier, he served in the Minnesota House of Representatives and spent 16 years as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, including leading the Legal Rights Center.

Throughout his career, Keith has remained committed to ensuring that everybody counts and everybody matters.

Together, let’s re-elect a proven progressive leader who will continue standing up for consumers, defending civil rights, and making government work for the people.

When we organize, we win.

Marialana Kinter for Congress

By ALL, Endorsement, FL

Marialana Kinter for Congress

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marialana Kinter for Congress in Florida’s 7th District.

Marialana is a Navy veteran, former nuclear reactor plant supervisor, and working-class candidate running to bring accountability, integrity, and a commitment to public service to Congress. 

She knows firsthand what families experience when housing, healthcare, childcare, and other basic necessities become unaffordable—and she is ready to fight for a government that delivers real results for the people it serves.

A Fighter Who Understands Working Families

Marialana was raised by a single mother as the youngest of four children. Her family relied on Medicaid and free school lunches, and she experienced housing instability and the foster care system. She worked two jobs during high school and learned early that even hard work is not always enough to escape poverty.

Those experiences shaped her commitment to affordable medical and dental care, accessible childcare, and an economy that gives working people a genuine chance to build stable lives.

Marialana is running because Central Florida families deserve a representative who understands their struggles—not another politician who puts personal ambition and powerful interests ahead of the community.

Putting Community First

Marialana believes public service begins long before a candidate takes office.

Through her campaign’s food, clothing, and feminine-hygiene drives, Marialana and her volunteers are already working to support families across Central Florida. Her campaign has collected clothing directly from community members and delivered it to nonprofit stores where neighbors can access essential items at no cost and with dignity.

That community-first approach reflects the kind of leadership we need in Congress: listening to people, taking action, and delivering tangible results.

Fighting to Make Life More Affordable

In Congress, Marialana will fight to lower housing costs, stabilize Florida’s insurance market, expand access to affordable healthcare, strengthen public education, improve childcare access, and create an economy that works for working families.

She also understands that Florida communities need reliable disaster funding and resilient infrastructure as families face increasingly severe storms and rising costs.

Marialana’s priorities are grounded in the everyday challenges facing the people of Florida’s 7th District—not the demands of wealthy donors or corporate interests.

Unbought, People-Powered Leadership

Marialana is the only candidate in her race refusing corporate PAC money. Her campaign is powered by people—not billionaires or corporations.

That matters because working people need representatives who are accountable to them. Marialana is running to end corruption, restore trust in government, and prove that public office can once again be treated as public service.

She knows that Congress should work for the people—not the powerful.

Marialana Kinter has the experience, determination, and commitment to community that’s needed to deliver real change for Florida’s 7th District.

Together, we can elect an unbought, working-class champion who will fight to lower costs, expand affordable healthcare, support veterans, strengthen public education, and put people ahead of politics.

When we organize, we win.

Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan

By ALL, Endorsement, MI

Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan

At a time when we need bold, transformational leadership, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

Abdul is a physician, epidemiologist, and public health leader — perhaps best known as a powerful surrogate for Medicare for All during the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, who has also come out to endorse him in this Senate run.  

From leading public health efforts in Michigan to addressing national systemic health inequities, his work has always been grounded in the belief that everyone deserves dignity, care, and opportunity.

He’s running on a bold campaign platform to deliver for working people:

  • Medicare for All – healthcare is a human right
  • Taking on corporate greed
  • Restoring worker power
  • Ending corporate influence in politics
  • A humane immigration system
  • Foreign policy rooted in peace and accountability

This is a campaign powered by people — not corporate PACs — and driven by a commitment to build a government that truly represents working families.

At Our Revolution, we know that real change doesn’t come from the top down — it comes from movements.

Abdul El-Sayed has been part of that movement for years. Now, he’s ready to bring that fight to the United States Senate.

We’re proud to stand with him — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

When we organize, we win.

Aisha Wahab for Congress (CA-14)

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Aisha Wahab for Congress (CA-14)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse State Senator Aisha Wahab for Congress in California’s 14th District — a bold, movement leader who has spent her career fighting for working people, tenants, and communities too often left behind.

Aisha Wahab’s story is one of resilience and purpose. Born to Afghan refugees and raised in the East Bay after time in foster care, she understands firsthand the struggles that so many families face. That lived experience has shaped her commitment to building an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected.

In the California State Senate, Wahab has been a leading voice for affordability, workers’ rights, and housing justice. She has taken on powerful interests to expand tenant protections, lower costs for working families, and push back against corporate-driven policies that put profit over people. 

Wahab’s progressive leadership is backed by a strong record. She has earned top marks from organizations like Planned Parenthood, labor unions, environmental groups, and healthcare advocates — reflecting her unwavering support for reproductive freedom, workers’ rights, climate action, and expanding access to care. 

She has also broken barriers as the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the California State Senate, bringing new voices and perspectives into government while fighting to make it more responsive to the people it serves. 

At a time when too many politicians are beholden to corporate donors and political insiders, Aisha Wahab has consistently stood with working-class communities — taking on corporate monopolies, advocating for economic justice, and pushing for policies that center human dignity.

Now, she’s bringing that same fight to Congress.

California’s 14th District deserves a representative who will stand up to entrenched power, fight for affordability and justice, and deliver real results for working families. Aisha Wahab has the experience, the values, and the movement behind her to do just that.

Shane Cohn for St. Louis Recorder of Deeds

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Shane Cohn for City of St. Louis Recorder of Deeds in the August 4 Democratic primary.

The Recorder of Deeds may not grab headlines, but it plays an essential role in the lives of St. Louis families. From protecting property records to helping residents access critical legal documents, this office should be transparent, accessible, and focused on serving the public.

That’s exactly what Shane Cohn is running to deliver.

Shane has a clear vision for transforming the Recorder of Deeds office into a modern public service that works for everyone—not outdated bureaucracy.

Modernizing an Office That Serves Every Family

Every resident deserves quick, reliable access to the public records they need.

Shane will modernize the office by expanding digital access to public records, improving customer service, increasing transparency, and making services easier and faster for everyone who depends on them.

He’ll also protect and preserve St. Louis’s historic records while ensuring they’re more accessible to the public.

Government should work for the people. Shane is committed to making sure this office does exactly that.

Protecting Homeowners and Seniors

Shane understands that protecting public records also means protecting families.

That’s why he’ll establish free property fraud alerts to notify homeowners whenever documents are recorded against their property and help identify suspicious activity before it becomes a crisis.

He also plans to partner with local law clinics to provide basic estate-planning assistance for seniors, making it easier for older residents to protect their homes and prepare important legal documents.

These practical improvements can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Helping Communities Recover

Shane is focused on making government more responsive during times of crisis.

He will create one-point access for critical records and probate documents for families impacted by the devastating May 2025 tornado, helping residents recover more quickly when they need government services the most.

He also plans to establish a document portal to help St. Louis families affected by radioactive exposure obtain the records needed to pursue federal reimbursement claims.

Bringing Professionalism and Accountability

Shane believes public offices should serve the public with professionalism, accountability, and respect.

He’s committed to bringing best practices to the Recorder of Deeds office, modernizing operations, improving transparency, and ensuring every resident receives efficient, dignified service.

That’s the kind of leadership St. Louis deserves.

Our Revolution is proud to support a powerful slate of candidates who will fight for healthcare, housing, workers’ rights, public education, and more. This is how we build a pipeline of progressives ready to stand up for everyday people in the halls of power.  We need leaders to represent the will of the voters—not corporations and special interests.

Meet Our Revolution’s progressive slate for Missouri House and Senate races:

★ ★ ★

Gina Mitten for State Senate — District 4

Former state representative, attorney, and administrative law judge Gina Mitten has the experience and proven progressive record needed in the Missouri State Senate.

During eight years in the Missouri House, Gina fought for reproductive freedom, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, paid sick leave, fair wages, collective bargaining, gun safety, and government accountability.

Gina has consistently voted to protect abortion rights and will stand up to politicians who attempt to overturn laws approved by Missouri voters.

★ ★ ★

Nicole Greer for State House — District 71

Nicole Greer is a Creve Coeur City Council member, former council president, grassroots organizer, and longtime union member committed to expanding opportunity for Missouri families.

Raised by a single parent, Nicole’s family relied on subsidized housing, SNAP, WIC, and free school lunches. She later spent 13 years as a member of the Communications Workers of America, where she saw how collective bargaining, fair wages, and worker protections can transform people’s lives.

Nicole is running to reduce inequality, support organized labor, and bring responsive, community-centered leadership to Jefferson City.

★ ★ ★

Kennedy Moore for State House — District 73

Kennedy Moore is a longtime community organizer who helped lead the successful statewide effort to pass Amendment 3 and restore abortion rights in Missouri’s Constitution.

Kennedy helped train and coordinate thousands of volunteers who collected 380,000 signatures in only three months. When Republican lawmakers moved to disregard the election results and reverse the voters’ decision, Kennedy decided to run for office herself.

In Jefferson City, Kennedy will defend reproductive freedom and Missouri’s initiative petition process, invest in Ferguson-Florissant public schools, protect workers and unions, lower healthcare and utility costs, and fight for safe, affordable housing.

★ ★ ★

Rachel D’Souza for State House — District 79

★ ★ ★

Rep. Ray Reed for State House — District 83

Rep. Ray Reed is a bold young leader working to give the next generation of Missourians a stronger voice in state government.

★ ★ ★

Matt Vitale for State House — District 96

Matt Vitale was born and raised in South St. Louis County. He’s a father, disability-rights advocate, and civil-rights enforcement expert who has dedicated his career to expanding accessibility and holding powerful institutions accountable.

Matt will fight to fully fund neighborhood public schools, preserve specialized services for students, lower childcare and healthcare costs, defend paid sick leave and collective bargaining, and protect reproductive freedom.

With more than a decade of experience in legislation, advocacy, and statewide campaigns, Tori has argued before the Missouri Supreme Court and successfully challenged policies that threatened Missourians’ healthcare access and fundamental rights.

Molly Gray for Vermont Lt. Governor

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Molly Gray for Lieutenant Governor of Vermont.

Molly Gray is running to protect fundamental rights, lower costs, and make life better for working families. Rooted in rural Vermont and guided by a lifetime of public service, she’s building a people-powered campaign funded by grassroots supporters—not corporations or corporate PACs.

Born and raised on her family’s farm in South Newbury, Molly learned early that progress takes hard work, problem-solving, and people coming together. Since serving as Vermont’s Lieutenant Governor, she has led the Vermont Afghan Alliance, helping Afghan allies rebuild their lives with housing, jobs, driver’s licenses, and other critical support. As a mom and caregiver for her mother, who lives with multiple sclerosis, Molly understands firsthand the challenges working families face every day.

Molly’s campaign is focused on protecting Vermonters and delivering real solutions.

She is committed to defending fundamental rights and freedoms, standing up against attacks on reproductive freedom, inhumane immigration policies, voter suppression, and harmful actions coming out of Washington. She believes Vermont must use every tool available to protect its people and their rights.

Molly is also fighting to make life more affordable for working families. She supports affordable child care and elder care, universal paid family and medical leave, and healthcare reforms that ensure every Vermonter has access to affordable care, regardless of where they live.

To help build a stronger future, Molly is focused on lowering costs by expanding affordable housing, strengthening public schools while addressing rising costs, supporting Vermont businesses, and growing hands-on job training opportunities so every Vermonter has access to a good-paying job.

Gina Mitten for Missouri State Senate District 4

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Gina Mitten for Missouri State Senate in Missouri’s 4th District.

Gina Mitten has spent her career standing up for working people, defending reproductive freedom, protecting public education, and fighting for accountable government. She understands what Missouri families are facing because she’s lived many of those same struggles—and she’s never stopped fighting to make government work for everyday people instead of powerful interests.

Growing up in University City before returning home to St. Louis, Gina balanced work, raising her family as a single parent, and continuing her education. She went on to serve on the Richmond Heights City Council and represented her community for eight years in the Missouri House, where she championed ethics reform, environmental protection, education, and government accountability.

Gina’s campaign is centered on the issues that matter most to working families.

She believes affordable, quality healthcare—including reproductive healthcare—is a basic human right. During her time in the legislature, she served on committees focused on Medicaid expansion, fought to increase access to mental health care and substance use treatment, opposed cuts that would threaten local hospitals, and consistently defended reproductive freedom. As she says, politicians should stay out of personal healthcare decisions.

Gina is also a lifelong advocate for workers’ rights. Drawing from her own experience as a single mother struggling to make ends meet, she has fought for paid sick leave, fair wages, workers’ compensation protections, unemployment benefits, and the right of workers to organize. She has pledged to stand against anti-worker legislation and continue fighting for dignity and fairness on the job.

She is equally committed to strengthening Missouri’s public schools. Gina supports robust investment in public education, defending teachers, expanding opportunities through dual enrollment, Advanced Placement courses, vocational training, and affordable higher education. Outside the legislature, she has coached her local high school’s Mock Trial team since 2019, helping lead students to a state championship in 2025.

Gina is also focused on keeping communities safe through investments in first responders, stronger community partnerships, and commonsense gun safety measures, including universal background checks and red flag laws.

At a time when Missouri families need leaders willing to fight for their rights instead of giving in to extremist politics, Gina Mitten is ready to deliver.

When we organize, we win.

HEADLINES: Progressive Surge! | Maine Senate Update | Next Wave: Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush & More | 10 Years of Our Revolution | & MORE!
★ ★ ★

OUR PROGRESSIVE PIPELINE IS DELIVERING

The political establishment is freaking out about the progressive winning streak our candidates are having across the country — and we’re just getting started.

Just this week, Fox News devoted airtime to attacking Our Revolution after airing clips from our National Organize-to-Win Call featuring candidates like Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, Troy Jackson, and Rep. Ro Khanna. Their big "gotcha"? Our champions calling for

Medicare for All.

These victories and the right-wing backlash come as a result of a decade of organizing — building the bench, getting out the vote, and growing grassroots power from the bottom up.

At Our Revolution, we’re celebrating 10 years in the fight. We’ve helped elect more than 1,200 progressives from city councils to Congress — this could be our biggest election year YET.

Our Revolution has endorsed hundreds of candidates this election cycle and we’ve made over 3.7 MILLION voter contacts so far! As Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told Newsweek, “This isn’t a sudden surge, it’s 10 years of work becoming visible.”

WE ARE FUNDED BY THE GRASSROOTS. PITCH IN $5 OR $10 A MONTH TO FUEL THIS FIGHT ALL THE WAY TO NOVEMBER.

Next up — critical primaries are fast approaching in Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and other states — giving us a chance to elect the largest class of progressives in Our Revolution's history. But first - MAINE.

★ ★ ★

ALL EYES ON MAINE

Maine is on the frontlines as Democrats are racing to nominate a new nominee for U.S. Senate. Our Revolution is proudly backing Troy Jackson to carry the torch and the working class agenda he’s devoted his life to as a union leader and state senate president.

On our call, Troy spoke to the urgency of the moment and turned attention to the tragic loss of a young immigrant father and neighbor who was shot by ICE that very same day.

So much is at stake. That’s why Our Revolution organizers are mobilizing supporters across all 16 county meetings TODAY to elect delegates who will nominate Troy Jackson at the state convention next week. Not only is he the strongest champion for our values, he’s the strongest candidate to defeat Susan Collins and flip this seat!

Democrats won't win this critical race with another handpicked establishment candidate. We win by uniting behind a proven champion for worker rights, reproductive rights, paid family leave, expanded healthcare, and much more.

“This movement has always been bigger than one person,” Troy said on our call. “It’s about taking on a system rigged against working people. Solidarity isn’t just a word for me, it’s a lifestyle.”

That same spirit carried throughout this week’s National Organize-to-Win Call, where progressive leaders from across the country shared why the next few weeks could define the future of our movement.

CHIP IN ANY AMOUNT TO HELP US NOMINATE TROY JACKSON TO FLIP THIS SENATE SEAT IN MAINE!

THE MANY VS. THE MONEY IN MICHIGAN

Michigan’s open Senate race is one of the most closely watched races in the country. AIPAC and other outside groups have spent tens of millions trying to beat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — but voters are hungry for real change.

“This race really is about the money versus the many.” Abdul said on our Monday call. “We want to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All.”

Our Revolution organizers have made tens of thousands of calls to turn out progressives to the polls — and we’re doubling down on our voter-to-voter outreach across the state in the lead-up to Election Day Aug. 4th.

SEN. ED MARKEY: FACING A CHALLENGE

Senator Ed Markey reminds us all that defeating MAGA isn't enough — we also have to defend the progressive leaders who have spent decades fighting for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, labor rights, and economic justice.

“It's not just having Democrats in the United States Senate,” Markey said on our Monday Call. “It’s having progressive Democrats in the United States Senate.”

Markey is facing down a challenge from a corporate Democrat after years of bold public service in the Senate. He still leads by 5 points in most polls — and we will have his back as we work to send in reinforcements.

CORI BUSH: “THIS IS CORI 2.0”

After AIPAC and allied groups spent millions to defeat her, Cori Bush IS BACK and ready to take back her seat in Congress in Missouri’s 1st District.

She held NOTHING back on our organizing call Monday — and our movement is fired up to send her back to Capitol Hill. We’ve made 10,000 calls into her district and plan to make 14,000 before Election Day Aug. 4th (just around the corner!).

SIGN UP TO MAKE CALLS FOR CORI

Cori shouted out our organizers working on the ground with her campaign — folks like Keith Rose, who’s mobilizing voters at the doors and on the streets, including at the St. Louis Pride Parade last month!

She said she’s hearing from supporters who regularly tell her they voted because they got a text or a call from Our Revolution.

“Thank you all for making a difference,” she told our movement. “If you give me the next 17 days, I’ll give you the next two years. This is Cori 2.0 — we’re full of grit, courage, and ready to win.”

RO KHANNA: PEOPLE OVER PENTAGON

Fresh off his trip to the occupied West Bank, where he was detained by Israeli forces, Rep. Ro Khanna urged our audience on Monday to keep the focus where it belongs: on the people living through violence and injustice.

Ro also argued that the billions added to the Pentagon budget each year could instead provide universal childcare, affordable college, expanded Medicare, housing, and other investments that working families urgently need.

“We are winning,” he said, “because we stand for Medicare for All, taxing billionaire wealth, a living wage, and real union power.”

KAELA BERG: A LABOR LEADER FOR CONGRESS

Flight attendant, union leader, and Minnesota State Rep. Kaela Berg knows what it’s like to work two jobs and still do the math at the grocery store.

That's exactly why she's running for Congress.

In the State Legislature, Kaela successfully led an effort to ban captive audience meetings used to intimidate workers from organizing unions.

“Workers built this nation,” she said, “and they deserve to be in the halls of power making the decisions that affect our daily lives.”

FRANCESCA HONG:

Francesca Hong believes one of America's most important battleground states can once again become a laboratory for progressive change.

A restaurant owner, legislator, and proud single mom, Fran is running on an unapologetic working-class agenda that includes higher wages, fully funded public education, free childcare, taxing the ultra-rich, and standing up to corporate power.

Fran’s message to our movement was simple: When Democrats organize around the issues that matter most to people’s lives, they build winning coalitions.

BUILDING ON THIS MOMENTUM

Every candidate who joined this week’s call is part of something much bigger than a single election.

As Joseph told CNN Politics, “These wins aren't coming out of nowhere.” The victories we're seeing today aren’t part of some passing political trend. They’re the payoff from 10 years of grassroots organizing and movement-building.

“People are done with a government that answers to corporations instead of to them,” he said. “Progressives are winning — because our movement is working.”

Trump and MAGA are targeting our movement because we’re WINNING — and we won’t back down. And we’ll keep up the pressure to create a government that delivers for working families.

With critical primaries just around the corner, we’re ready to keep building. Let’s seize this chance to elect a record number of progressives into seats of power to FIGHT alongside us for transformative change.

When we organize, we win.

Our Revolution Rallies Behind Troy Jackson

By Endorsement, Homepage Slot 3, ME, Take Action No Comments

Our Revolution Rallies Behind Troy Jackson to Replace Graham Platner on Maine Senate Ballot

 

With just days before Maine’s replacement deadline, Our Revolution is mobilizing behind former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson to ensure the people-first movement that won the Democratic primary isn’t replaced by the political establishment.

After withdrawing our endorsement of Graham Platner in light of the serious allegations against him, Our Revolution made two things clear.

First, the allegations are serious, and Platner should step aside.

Second, this is not an opening for Democratic insiders to handpick a replacement that ignores the will of Maine voters.

Mainers voted decisively for a bold progressive agenda: Medicare for All, a campaign free from corporate money, an end to endless wars, and a candidate who would stand with working people instead of powerful interests. That mandate deserves to be honored.

That’s why Our Revolution is rallying behind Troy Jackson to carry that movement forward.

A logger, union leader, and former President of the Maine State Senate, Troy has spent his life fighting for working people. He led Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns in Maine in both 2016 and 2020, and Bernie later endorsed Troy’s campaign for governor. Long before this Senate seat became available, Troy had built a record of standing with workers, unions, and rural communities across Maine.

Chip in a donation of any amount to help us nominate Troy Jackson to replace Platner on the Senate ballot in Maine!

As Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese said:

“Last night we made clear that Graham Platner should withdraw from Maine’s Senate race. The allegations against him are serious, and he must step aside. We also made something else clear: this is not the Democratic establishment’s opening to handpick a replacement.

“Maine’s progressives didn’t win the primary by a fluke or by a narrow margin. Working people voted for Medicare for All, for a Senate campaign free of corporate money, an end to forever wars, and for a candidate who would actually fight for them. That mandate doesn’t disappear because one candidate is gone.

“That is why we are rallying behind Troy Jackson. He has spent his life in the fight working people are asking for—not arriving to it because a seat opened up.

“We have days, not weeks, to make sure a real progressive is on this ballot. If we do not organize now, we risk watching the Democratic establishment hand Maine a corporate placeholder while the party that just got outvoted decides it knows better.

“This is bigger than one Senate seat. To take back the Senate, Democrats have to defeat Susan Collins, and they won’t do it by abandoning the coalition that already showed up once. Our Revolution is putting our full organizing machine behind Troy Jackson starting today.”

Our organizing machine is already moving.

With the replacement deadline rapidly approaching, we’re mobilizing our Citizen Action Team, activating volunteers, and organizing across Maine to ensure voters are represented by a candidate who reflects the agenda they overwhelmingly supported.

This fight extends far beyond one state.

Defeating Susan Collins is critical to winning back the Senate. But just as important is protecting the integrity of a movement built by ordinary people—not party insiders or corporate donors. Maine voters already spoke. They chose a people-first platform. Our Revolution is committed to making sure that platform remains on the ballot.

The urgency of this moment has already drawn national attention, with coverage from The New York Times, the Associated Press, The Guardian, Politico, The Hill, and other major outlets. The conversation isn’t simply about replacing one candidate—it’s about whether the Democratic Party will respect the will of primary voters or allow the establishment to override it.

Now is the time to take action. Can you donate $5, $10, or $27 to power our organizing work to nominate and elect Troy Jackson as the next Senator from Maine? Every dollar helps!

Together, we can ensure Maine Democrats have a nominee who will fight for working people, take on corporate power, and help build the progressive Senate majority our country needs.

When we organize, we win.
