Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District — a union ironworker, organizer, and public servant who knows what it means to fight for working people because he’s lived it.
Brian Poindexter isn’t a career politician. He’s been a proud union ironworker since 2007, working his way through an apprenticeship while earning a degree from Cuyahoga Community College. That experience — building things with his hands, working on job sites, and earning every step forward — is exactly the kind of working-class perspective that’s missing in Washington.
After graduating, Brian became a union organizer, helping workers who were struggling without representation gain the power and protections of a union. He later returned to the field, leading major infrastructure and construction projects across Northeast Ohio — from Playhouse Square developments to critical work at NASA Glenn Research Center. Today, he continues to give back as an apprenticeship instructor with Ironworkers Local 17, training the next generation of skilled workers.
Brian has also stepped up to serve his community in public office. Since 2017, he has been an At-Large member of Brook Park City Council, where he has consistently stood with working families. He’s opposed “Right to Work” laws, fought against school voucher schemes that undermine public education, and supported strong public institutions like the postal service and local schools.
That record matters.
At a time when corporate interests and anti-worker politicians are attacking unions, gutting public services, and rigging the economy in favor of the wealthy, Brian Poindexter represents a different kind of leadership — one rooted in solidarity, fairness, and real economic justice.
Now, Brian is running to unseat Republican incumbent Max Miller and bring that same commitment to Congress. He understands that working families in Ohio are being squeezed by rising costs, stagnant wages, and a political system that too often puts corporate profits over people.
Brian is running to change that — to fight for good-paying union jobs, strong public schools, and an economy that works for working people, not the wealthy few.
This is exactly the kind of candidate Our Revolution was built to support: someone who has organized, worked, and fought alongside their community — and who will carry that fight to Washington.
Brian Poindexter is the real deal.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with him and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can elect a working-class champion to Congress and continue building a political revolution that puts people over profit.
When we organize, we win. ✊
