Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor

By ALL, DC, Endorsement

Janeese Lewis George for DC Mayor

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Janeese Lewis George for Mayor of Washington, D.C. because she isn’t just talking about change — she has spent her career fighting for it.

A Ward 4 Councilmember and labor ally, Janeese made history as the first self-described democratic socialist elected to the D.C. Council in decades. She ran — and won — on a grassroots, small-donor campaign that centered working people. 

Now, Janeese is running a people-first campaign for Mayor focused on affordability, equity, and building a city that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.

Her platform directly takes on the crises facing working families:

  • Universal Childcare: Expanding subsidies so every D.C. family can afford care 
  • Social Housing: Investing in publicly owned, mixed-income housing to tackle skyrocketing rents 
  • Workers & Families First: Fighting for good jobs, strong labor protections, and economic justice
  • Immigrant Justice: Ending cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement 
  • Community Safety: Investing in prevention, public services, and accountability — not failed status quo approaches
  • Affordable City for All: Tackling the cost of housing, childcare, transportation, and small business survival 

This is a comprehensive agenda rooted in the idea that government should serve people — not corporations and big money interests.

Janeese is challenging a political establishment that has held power in D.C. for decades — and she’s doing it the same way she’s always led: by organizing. She is offering a clear alternative to politics as usual — one that uplifts working people, renters, families, and communities too often left behind.

Janeese represents the next generation of leaders carrying that movement forward at the local level — where real change can take root.

When we organize, we win.

Kiernan Majerus-Collins for Maine House (HD-95)

We need leaders who will fight — not fold. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Kiernan Majerus-Collins for Maine House of Representatives, District 95.

Kiernan isn’t a career politician, he’s a civil rights and immigration attorney who has dedicated his legal work to protecting the constitutional rights of poor and working-class people — ensuring that justice isn’t just for those who can afford it. 

He’s also served his community directly, including on the Lewiston School Committee, where he advocated for students and families and helped shape local education policy. 

This is the kind of leadership we need: rooted in community, grounded in service, and committed to justice.

A Bold Progressive Agenda for Maine

Kiernan is running on a platform that puts working people first and takes on the core challenges facing Mainers:

  • Lowering the cost of living and making Maine more affordable
  • Building more affordable housing to address the housing crisis
  • Defending immigrant rights and standing up to discrimination
  • Taking on climate change with urgent, forward-looking solutions
  • Strengthening democracy and the rule of law for everyone 

This is a clear, values-driven agenda that recognizes a simple truth: government should work for people — not powerful interests.

Kiernan understands the impact of economic injustice and political neglect. His campaign is about ensuring those voices are not only heard — but centered in policymaking. As he puts it, governing means “remembering that everyone counts.” 

Kiernan represents a new generation of leaders stepping up to carry forward the fight for economic justice, civil rights, and a more inclusive democracy.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Jamie Raskin for Re-Election to Congress

By ALL, Endorsement, MD

Jamie Raskin for Re-Election to Congress

At a time when our democracy is under attack and working people are demanding bold action on economic justice, climate, and civil rights, we need leaders who will stand firm — no matter the pressure.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Congressman Jamie Raskin for re-election.

Jamie Raskin has become a national leader in the fight to defend our democracy.

A former constitutional law professor, Raskin brought his deep expertise — and moral clarity — to Congress, where he has been a leading voice against authoritarianism and corruption. He served as lead impeachment manager during Donald Trump’s second impeachment, and he’s been a consistent champion for working people and progressive change.

As a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, he has backed policies that align with the core values of the political revolution:

  • Medicare for All 
  • Bold climate action
  • Strong labor rights
  • Voting rights and democratic reforms
  • Economic justice

Rep. Raskin has also been a vocal advocate for student debt relief, campaign finance reform, and getting big money out of politics — recognizing that our democracy cannot function when it’s dominated by billionaires and corporate interests.

He understands that the fight for democracy is inseparable from the fight for economic justice.

He’s consistently taken on corporate influence and defended the role of government in serving the public good — not private profit. Whether it’s pushing for stronger oversight, supporting antitrust action, or backing reforms to curb the influence of big money in elections, Raskin has been a reliable ally in the fight to rebalance power toward working people.

Before Congress, Raskin served in the Maryland State Senate, where he built a reputation as a progressive reformer — passing legislation to expand civil rights, protect consumers, and strengthen democratic participation.

Throughout his career, he has stayed closely connected to grassroots movements — listening to constituents, engaging with organizers, and using his platform to amplify the voices of those too often left out of the political process.

Jamie Raskin represents the kind of leadership this moment demands.

Lateefah Simon for Re-Election in CA-12

Lateefah Simon for Re-Election in CA-12

At a time when corporate power, rising costs, and political dysfunction are leaving working people behind, we need leaders who don’t just talk about change — they fight for it.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Congresswoman Lateefah Simon for re-election in California’s 12th District.

Lateefah Simon’s story is rooted in struggle, resilience, and organizing.

A lifelong Bay Area resident, civil rights advocate, and MacArthur “genius grant” recipient, Lateefah has spent decades fighting for communities that have been pushed to the margins — especially young people, women, and communities of color. 

She first rose to national prominence as a youth organizer, leading the Young Women’s Freedom Center and transforming how the justice system supports young women impacted by incarceration. 

From there, she helped shape criminal justice reform efforts, served on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board, and led major racial justice philanthropy efforts — always centering equity and opportunity. 

Today, she brings that same movement-driven leadership to Congress.

A Progressive Voice in Congress

Since taking office in 2025, Lateefah has aligned herself with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party — serving as a Vice Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and fighting for policies that put working people first. 

Her agenda reflects the core values of the political revolution:

  • Medicare for All and universal healthcare
  • A $15+ minimum wage and strong labor protections
  • Expanded safety net programs like Medicaid and food assistance
  • A federal jobs guarantee
  • Investments in affordable housing and transit equity

She has also been a strong advocate for criminal justice reform, reentry support, and policies that reduce mass incarceration. 

Standing Up to Corporate Power

Lateefah has been clear: our government should serve people — not corporations.

She has taken on corporate polluters and supported bold climate action, earning backing from environmental justice organizations for her commitment to transitioning away from fossil fuels and protecting frontline communities. 

She has also been outspoken in opposing excessive military spending and endless war, calling for a reorientation of federal resources toward healthcare, education, and community investment. 

This is leadership that prioritizes people over profit.

Carrying Forward a Progressive Legacy

Lateefah represents a district long represented by the legendary Rep. Barbara Lee — and she is carrying forward that legacy of courage, independence, and principled leadership.

Like Barbara Lee, Lateefah is willing to stand up when it matters most — even when it’s not politically easy.

Her work in Congress — from supporting care workers to advancing protections for crime survivors — reflects a deep commitment to dignity, justice, and economic security for all. 

Lateefah Simon isn’t just a member of Congress — she’s a movement leader — and we’re proud to stand behind her in this run for re-election.

Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State

At a time when our democracy is under attack, Colorado needs a leader who will protect the vote, expand access, and take on the influence of big money in politics.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State.

Amanda Gonzalez is a voting rights attorney and democracy advocate who has spent her career fighting to ensure government works for everyone — not just the powerful. As the elected Clerk & Recorder for Jefferson County, she oversees elections for hundreds of thousands of voters and has worked to make them more accessible, secure, and transparent.

Before serving in elected office, Amanda was the executive director of Colorado Common Cause, where she helped advance reforms to strengthen democracy — including expanding ballot access and reducing the influence of money in politics.

She has been a leader in building a more inclusive democracy — helping pass policies like automatic voter registration, increasing secure ballot drop boxes, and supporting independent redistricting to ensure fair representation.

Amanda’s campaign is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: our democracy should belong to the people.

She represents a new generation of leadership — grounded in protecting voting rights, expanding access, and ensuring transparency and accountability in our elections.

At Our Revolution, we believe that defending democracy means fighting for systems that work for everyday people — not corporations or special interests.

Amanda Gonzalez has spent her career doing exactly that.

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s protect our democracy together.

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.

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

In one of the most progressive districts in the country, voters in Colorado’s 1st deserve a representative who will fight as boldly as they do.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress.

Melat Kiros is a lawyer, PhD student, and grassroots candidate running to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington — accountable to working people, not corporate PACs or entrenched political power.

Her campaign is rooted in a clear, unapologetic progressive vision.

Melat is running on a platform that includes:

  • Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right
  • Housing First — treating housing as a public good and ending homelessness
  • Universal childcare — ensuring every family has the support they need
  • Ending corporate influence in politics — rejecting corporate PAC money
  • An arms embargo rooted in human rights and accountability in U.S. foreign policy

She has been clear: in the richest country in the world, housing, healthcare, food, and education should be guaranteed rights — not privileges.

Melat’s candidacy is also about challenging a political status quo that has failed to deliver for working people. In a district like Denver — where inequality, displacement, and rising costs are reshaping communities — she is making the case that it’s time for leadership willing to take on corporate power and fight for structural change.

This is a campaign powered by people — not billionaires.

And it’s part of a broader movement to transform the Democratic Party into one that truly represents the needs of everyday Americans.

At Our Revolution, we believe that real change comes from candidates who are willing to stand up, speak out, and organize — even when it comes at a personal cost.

Melat Kiros is that kind of leader.

We’re proud to stand with her in Colorado’s 1st District — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s organize for a government that works for all of us.

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

By ALL, CO, Endorsement

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

At a time when working people are demanding bold leadership, Julie Gonzales is stepping up to meet the moment — and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her.

A daughter of the San Carlos Apache Nation and a lifelong organizer, Julie has spent her career fighting for working families and immigrants. From organizing for affordable housing and workers’ rights to serving as a powerful voice in the Colorado State Senate, she has never backed down from the fights that matter most.

Julie Gonzales isn’t just talking about change — she’s delivering it.

In the Colorado Senate, she helped repeal the death penalty, stood strong to protect abortion rights after Roe was overturned, and has led efforts to expand protections for immigrant communities. She consistently champions policies that put people over profits.

And Julie is bringing that same unapologetic progressive vision to her campaign for U.S. Senate. She is running on a bold agenda that includes:

  • Medicare for All and universal care
  • Raising the minimum wage and strengthening labor rights
  • Universal childcare and affordable housing
  • A ban on congressional stock trading
  • Protecting reproductive freedom and gender-affirming care
  • A humane immigration system that defends our communities 

Julie has never been afraid to challenge the status quo — even when it means taking on powerful interests within her own party. Her campaign is rooted in grassroots organizing and driven by the belief that our government should work for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

That’s why national progressive leaders and grassroots activists are rallying behind her candidacy. Because Julie Gonzales represents the future of the Democratic Party: bold, fearless, and accountable to the people.

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

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and we’re ready to help send a true progressive champion to the United States Senate.
