Ed Markey is a national leader on energy, environmental protection and telecommunications policy, demonstrating his deep commitment to improving the lives of the people of Massachusetts and our country.
That’s why Our Revolution wants to send Ed back to the US Senate to continue serving alongside Bernie Sanders to defend our democracy and fight for working families.
Whether the issue is climate change, clean energy, safeguarding privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, investor protection, or preserving an open Internet that spurs competition and consumer choice, Ed defends our progressive values and holds the powerful elites accountable.
Experience Matters
Elected to the Senate after a lengthy and distinguished career in the US House, Ed brings his energy and experience to fight for the people of Massachusetts.
In the House and Senate, Ed has:
Co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act in the Senate
Co-authored the landmark Waxman-Markey bill
Lead the call to investigate the disastrous BP oil spill
Been instrumental in breaking up telecommunications monopolies
Introduced the Internet Freedom Preservation Act
Authored of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression
At a time when many corporate Democrats are openly declaring war on progressives, Ed is committed to a Democratic Party that addresses climate change and preserves our environment, defends the rights of consumers while expanding opportunity, and advocating for a national single-payer healthcare system that guarantees comprehensive, affordable care to every American.
The Stakes in This Race
Massachusetts is facing critical challenges that demand bold and trusted leadership.
Throughout his tenure in Congress, Ed has focused on confronting the climate crisis, lowering the cost of housing and utilities, expanding access to healthcare, and protecting our communities.
Ed has secured hundreds of millions in direct federal investments to protect and support communities across Massachusetts— from Boston to Worcester to Springfield to the Cape and Islands. Through congressionally directed spending and key infrastructure legislation, he delivers vital resources directly to the Commonwealth’s municipalities.
Ed has delivered for his community, but this race is about so much more than that.
It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue moving toward a bold, unapologetically progressive vision that takes on concentrated wealth and corporate power — or will the elites and corporate apologists drag our party back toward the policies that have failed working people for decades.
For nearly a decade in Congress, Rep. Ro Khanna has proven that bold progressive leadership can deliver real results. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to represent California’s 17th Congressional District.
Ro has never been afraid to challenge powerful interests—whether they’re billionaires, Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex, or political insiders. He has consistently used his platform to fight for working people, defend democracy, and build a government that puts people before corporate power.
Ro’s commitment to our movement runs deep. As a National Co-Chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, he helped advance a vision of Medicare for All, economic justice, climate action, and a government accountable to ordinary Americans—not wealthy donors. That same vision continues to guide his work in Congress.
Throughout his time in office, Ro has been one of Congress’s strongest champions for universal healthcare, repeatedly backing legislation to guarantee healthcare as a human right, lower prescription drug prices, expand Medicare, and tackle medical debt. He argues that no American should go bankrupt because they get sick and remains committed to making universal healthcare a reality.
Ro has also emerged as one of the leading voices in Congress against endless war.
He has led bipartisan efforts to reclaim Congress’s constitutional authority over decisions of war and peace, introducing War Powers legislation to prevent unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran and arguing that America should invest in jobs and healthcare—not more endless wars.
Ro has consistently called for an end to the devastating loss of civilian life in Gaza and for U.S. policy to prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and lasting peace. He has been among the most outspoken members of Congress demanding that the United States use its leverage to stop the killing and pursue a just resolution to the conflict.
Ro is also demonstrating that no one is above the law.
He helped lead the successful push for greater transparency surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case through the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, arguing that the American people deserve the truth and that powerful individuals must be held accountable. His work forced the release of thousands of previously sealed records and challenged the culture of secrecy that has protected elites for too long.
Whether he’s fighting corporate monopolies, standing up for workers, expanding healthcare, or defending our democracy, Ro Khanna has consistently shown what principled progressive leadership looks like.
At a time when too many politicians are willing to compromise with corporate interests or remain silent in the face of injustice, Ro continues to lead with courage, integrity, and a commitment to the people-powered movement that elected him.
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to Congress.
Together, we can continue building a Congress that fights for working people, challenges corporate power, protects our democracy, and delivers the bold progressive change this moment demands.
Across the country, communities are standing up to powerful corporations against the unchecked expansion of AI data centers.
From small towns to major cities, residents are organizing to protect their water, energy resources, public health, and local democracy from massive facilities being pushed by some of the world’s richest corporations.
Now, these local fights are coming together into a national movement.
That’s why Our Revolution is proud be part of the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers, a growing alliance of grassroots, environmental, and advocacy organizations working to challenge the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure and demand policies that put people before corporate profits.
At the same time, Bernie Sanders is bringing this fight directly to Washington.
Bernie is calling for a federal moratorium on new data center construction until Congress establishes clear protections for communities, workers, consumers, and the environment. It’s a simple idea: before Big Tech is allowed to build thousands of new facilities across the country, we need safeguards to protect our water, our power grids, and the communities forced to live with the consequences.
Massive data centers are being proposed at breakneck speed across the country. These facilities consume enormous amounts of land, electricity, and water while generating extraordinary profits for technology corporations and investors.
Communities are increasingly asking a basic question: who benefits?
Too often, local residents are left with higher utility costs, strained infrastructure, constant industrial noise, and growing concerns about water availability, while corporations collect subsidies, tax breaks, and public resources.
The threat is especially severe in regions already struggling with drought.
A recent investigation found that of the 809 new data centers currently planned across the United States, 517 are slated for communities that have experienced drought conditions within the last year.
As public awareness grows, resistance is growing too.
In Monterey Park, California, voters approved the nation’s first ban on data centers by an overwhelming 86 percent. In Ohio, state leaders have begun pulling back tax incentives for data center projects amid growing concerns about their impacts on communities and energy systems.
The message is becoming impossible to ignore:
Communities want a say in decisions that affect their future.
That’s exactly what the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers is fighting for.
The coalition brings together organizations from across the country—including Our Revolution, Third Act, GreenLatinos, MediaJustice, Food & Water Watch, North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, Citizens Action Coalition, Pennsylvania Physicians for Social Responsibility, and many others—to support local organizing efforts and build national pressure for stronger protections.
We’re already seeing state and local leaders step up. In Pennsylvania, State Senator Katie Muth is leading efforts to establish a statewide moratorium on new data centers while communities assess their environmental and economic impacts.
At Our Revolution, we’re mobilizing our grassroots network to support these fights on the ground while building support for Bernie’s federal moratorium.
Because this fight isn’t just about technology.
It’s about whether billion-dollar corporations get to reshape our communities without accountability.
It’s about whether public resources like water and energy are managed for the public good or sacrificed for private profit.
And it’s about whether ordinary people have a voice in decisions that will shape their communities for decades to come.
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.
Election Day: New York’s primary election is Tuesday, June 23, 2026. Polls are open from 6 AM to 9 PM, and early voting runs June 13–21.

FIGHT TRUMP THE OLIGARCHS - AT THE BALLOT BOX!
Things can feel pretty dark at the moment, but we’re building progressive power to fight Trump and the Oligarchs.
We’re halfway through the Democratic primaries, and Our Revolution has endorsed hundreds of candidates at all levels of government and made over 3.5 MILLION voter contacts!
To stop the worst of the Trump regime, we need to win back the House and Senate in November — but first we need to get the best and boldest candidates on the ballot.
This week, over 50,000 activists tuned in to our LIVE National Organize to Win Town Hall featuring Rep. Ilhan Omar and six of our top progressive candidates.
Ilhan commended the courage of those protesting ICE in Newark, NJ — and said her fellow Minnesotans are still traumatized by the ICE raids that killed two people last winter.
"We went through what we did so no other American city would have to experience that level of terror,” Ilhan said. She told us she stays positive, inspired by the grassroots: "We can give in to fear, despair, and hate—or we can choose love, hope, and courage."

WALA BLEGAY VS. BIG MONEY
Wala Blegay, our candidate for Congress in Maryland’s 5th - the seat held for decades by retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer - denounced the millions that AIPAC, crypto, and AI special interests are pouring into the race for her opponent - a data center lobbyist backed by Hoyer’s establishment machine.
Unlike her opponent, Wala signed Our Revolution's People's Pledge to reject corporate PAC money. To counter the flood of big spending, Our Revolution’s field team is making over 50,000 voter contacts by making calls and knocking on doors!

WHY TRUMP MEGADONORS FEAR ALEX BORES
As a member of the NY State Assembly, Alex Bores led the fight to pass the RAISE Act, the strongest AI regulation in the country.
This put him directly in the crosshairs of Big Tech. Top Trump megadonors, including Marc Andreessen, are spending upwards of $10 million to defeat Alex’s bid to win the primary in NY’s 12th Congressional District which covers Manhattan.
“If they win, they go to every member of Congress and say, ‘Don't you dare regulate AI or we'll make sure you lose your seat,’” Alex Bores told our town hall audience Monday.
“Right now, the decisions about AI are being made by five billionaires instead of the American people,” Bores said. “We the people decide how AI is regulated. But that’s so terrifying to these oligarchs, they started a super PAC to try to make an example of me.”
The primary is on June 23rd, and Our Revolution organizers are making over 145,000 voter contacts by calls, texts, and postcards to get Alex over the finish line.

HOW WE BEAT MIKE LAWLER IN NY
Effie Phillips-Staley, a Tarrytown trustee and candidate for Congress in NY-17, made the case on our call that Democrats don't need to move right to win competitive districts like hers, which is represented by GOP Rep. Mike Lawler.
To flip this critical seat, she argued that Democrats should focus on affordability and economic security.
“When we speak about economic populism, we are speaking to the broadest audience possible,” she said, pointing to housing costs, childcare expenses, healthcare, and stagnant wages as the issues voters raise most often.
Our Revolution’s organizing team is helping Effie get out her message by making over 50,000 voter contacts in the primary!

YUH-LINE NIOU: HOW PROGRESSIVES ARE WINNING
“Even when it feels like we're losing, we've kept winning,” Yuh-Line Niou said on the call. “We elected AOC and stunned the political establishment. Zohran Mamdani stepped up, and again we did what everyone said we couldn’t do: We Won.”
Yuh-Line helped lead efforts to tax the rich and expand tenant protections in the NY Assembly. Now running for State Senate in District 27 in lower Manhattan, she said too many Democratic leaders have lost the political courage to take on billionaires and address the affordability crisis.
Despite being outspent, she knows the path to victory. “We won't be outworked or out-organized.” The Our Revolution organizing team is pitching in to help - we’re on our way to making over 35,000 voter contacts before the June 23rd primary!
Check out our other progressive New York endorsements on our website, including Claire Valdez and Darializa Chevalier who are running for Congress with the backing of Zohran Mamdani.
Nate Blouin joined our town hall to discuss his campaign for Congress in Utah's 1st District and his fight against the massive data center proposed near the Great Salt Lake. Election Day is coming up quickly on June 23rd.
Endorsed by Bernie, Blouin argued the push for the data center is “at the heart of everything that is wrong with our politics.”
“It is about corruption, environmental degradation, and how bad things happen when we don't shine a light on them,” he said. "People feel left behind, and we need to stand up and fight.”

CALIFORNIA PRIMARY: RESULTS INCOMING
We’re still waiting for results from California’s big election on Tuesday, but as more ballots drop, Tom Steyer is rising in the count for Governor — though he still trails establishment favorite Xavier Becerra and Trump-backed Steve Hilton for the top two spots.
Meanwhile, Jane Kim - a former Bernie campaign veteran - won her primary for state Insurance Commissioner, an office overseeing a $3.3 trillion industry.
She’s proposing bold reforms, including a public single-payer disaster insurance program that would pool premiums publicly and invest in community resilience instead of corporate profits.
Aisha Wahab, our candidate for Congress in CA-14, also won on Tuesday, and now heads to the special election on June 16th to serve the remainder of the term left by disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell.
Randy Villegas, a Bernie-endorsed organizer in California’s Central Valley, made it through the primary in CA-22 and will now face off against GOP incumbent David Valadao in this critical flippable seat. Watch Randy speak to Our Rev members here!
Mai Vang, a bold progressive Sacramento City Councillor, successfully advanced in her primary in CA-07 and will go head to head against 20-year Democratic incumbent Doris Matsui.
And of course progressive Reps. Ro Khanna and Lateefah Simon won their primaries and are heading to November — with our movement at their backs.

BIG PROGRESSIVE WINS IN NJ & PA
Tuesday's primary elections delivered important wins for the progressive movement outside of California as well.
In New Jersey, community organizer Analilia Mejia and Dr. Adam Hamawy — a trauma surgeon, Army veteran, and public health champion — both advanced after running on people-powered politics over corporate influence.
And, in Montana, Sam Forstag, a smokejumper and union leader, will be the Democratic nominee for Montana’s 1st Congressional District. He did not shrink when taking on corporate landlords, big money or the billionaire class — and he won!
In the Pennsylvania primaries in May, Our Revolution-backed candidates Chris Rabb (PA-03) and Bob Brooks (PA-07) scored major victories.
A 20-year firefighter and union leader, Brooks won by running as a working-class champion focused on affordable healthcare, union jobs, and taking on corporate power — and Rabb's victory in Philadelphia showed the growing strength of bold progressive ideas and people-powered organizing over establishment politics.
As Our Revolution's Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told the Associated Press, Rabb's win should send a clear message that Democratic voters "want transformational change.”
Now, we get ready for primary elections in June. Election Days are fast approaching and our organizers are busy getting out the vote to get our allies over the finish line.
In Maine, we’re facing off against establishment Democrats who are openly trying to take down Bernie’s 2016 state co-chair Matt Dunlap in the race for Congress in ME-2. Our organizers’ goal is to make over 35,000 calls for Matt ahead of Election Day THIS TUESDAY, June 9th.
And we’re out there organizing for Troy Jackson, a union leader who’s spent decades on the picket line, now running for Governor to finally put working people ahead of big business.
In Colorado, Election Day is June 30th, and we’re backing Melat Kiros against a nearly 30-year establishment incumbent in one of America’s most progressive congressional districts.
Julie Gonzales, a lifelong organizer, is taking on another member of the establishment in the Senate primary, running on a record of lifting up immigrants and workers. See our other Colorado endorsements here.
And in D.C., Election Day is June 16th, and Janeese Lewis George is taking on the establishment for the mayor’s seat where she can fight back against Trump in the nation’s capital.
Our Revolution was by her side when she ran for city council with a vision for true affordability, and won. Now, she’s pledging public-run groceries, universal childcare – and we’re right there with her.
We’re halfway through the Democratic primaries, and we hope you’ll join us to make calls to turn out progressive voters to elect these amazing candidates! This is how we build power from the bottom up.
The 2026 midterms are pivotal to take power back from Trump and the oligarchs who are entrenching us in another forever war and rigging our economy.
Grab a T-shirt or other great merch to help power our organizing to stand up against MAGA, the warmongers, and the oligarchs. Thanks for all of your support!
