KEY CLIMATE RACE – VICTORY IN WA

By Endorsement, Progressive Champions, Uncategorized

51 votes may have just saved the mature forests in Washington State.

Dave Upthegrove, the only candidate not taking money from the timber industry, just squeaked by as a result of grassroots organizing and mobilization in the race for WA State Public Lands Commissioner.

Our Revolution, founded by Bernie Sanders, played a pivotal role from our work to GOTV in Washington State to our ballot curing efforts. This is why down-ballot work by progressives is so critical.

Upthegrove is the only candidate not funded by the timber industry and the only one who will fight the climate crisis by saving Washington’s mature forests, while working to prevent forest fires and grow the local economy. 

Dave will work with local tribes and other communities to map out the best way to deploy more clean energy infrastructure and build more affordable housing. 

He served 12 years in the State House, representing the diverse working-class suburbs of South King County, and he would be the first openly gay statewide executive in WA State history!

Dave’s love of the outdoors developed at a young age, spending his summers in high school and college working outdoors, teaching young people about conservation on Dabob Bay, and leading week-long treks through the Cascade Mountains.

HIs interest in politics developed as an environmental activist on campus at the University of Colorado, where he earned his degree in Environmental Conservation and Biology — later earning a graduate certificate in Energy Policy from the University of Idaho.

As a State Rep, Dave Upthegrove chaired the committee to restore the Puget Sound and chaired the House Environment Committee, working in every corner of the State to reduce carbon pollution, clean up toxins, and improve oil spill prevention.

In the Legislature, he helped lead the Blue-Green Alliance — a pro-labor, pro-environment coalition that rejected the false choice between jobs and the environment and found common ground to promote sustainable economic opportunities. Upthegrove was honored as Legislator of the Year by the Washington Conservation Voters.

“I understand that in order to have good jobs and a strong economy, we need to keep Washington State a great place to live,” Dave said. “This means managing our public forests, aquatic lands, and other natural resources in the public interest.”

Dave is the progressive and the strongest environmentalist in the race. He is endorsed by US Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Washington Conservation Action, Sierra Club as well as 50+ Democratic Party organizations.

Michigan slate endorsement

In Michigan, and it’s time to re-elect U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Layla Taha for State House (HD-25) and Alyshia Dyer for Washtenaw Co. Sheriff— all endorsed by Our Revolution. Vote by Aug. 6th.

We must protect and expand progressive power in Michigan — and that starts with voting for this inspiring slate of candidates and re-electing one of our most formidable partners in Congress.

Rashida Tlaib has been a fearless champion for a ceasefire in Gaza, racial justice, and working people. Rashida has led visionary legislation and pushed for bold changes to our unjust status quo since she began serving in the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2019.

We need to keep her voice in Congress!

Due to 2022’s redistricting, our districts have changed. Rep. Rashida Tlaib ran and was re-elected to serve Michigan’s newly-formed 12th Congressional District in Congress, which includes many communities in Wayne and southern Oakland Counties.

We’re excited to support Layla Taha for State Representative in Michigan (HD-25), whose commitment to public health is driven by her belief in prioritizing people over profits.

Layla has been part of this fight for nearly a decade as a public health advocate and community organizer, now she’s running as a progressive Democrat focused on securing quality, affordable healthcare for all Michiganders, fighting for a livable wage for working families, and delivering environmental justice to ensure residents have access to clean water and air.

Our Revolution is proudly backing Alyshia Dyer for Washtenaw County Sheriff. Alyshia has been a consistent champion of progressive values for years, and she's running to create a sheriff's office that truly respects and protects the whole community.

Experiencing homelessness as a juvenile deeply influenced Alyshia's perspective on the importance of community support and social justice. She has served as a road patrol deputy, earned degrees in social work, and gained administrative experience with Detroit's Civil Rights, Inclusion & Opportunity Department. Let’s elect a progressive sheriff!

We have much more good work to do in Michigan! Be sure to find your in person early voting site here, and remind your friends and family to get out to vote.

Vermont slate endorsement

Vermont slate endorsement

In Vermont Our Revolution has an amazing slate of progressives we’re endorsing in the state, including for State House and Senate, Lt. Governor, and, of course — U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders!

 

Next month will mark 8 years since Bernie founded Our Revolution and sparked a movement that has advanced a true progressive agenda at every level of government — and elected 1,000+ progressives across the country!

Now, we have an opportunity grow progressive power throughout the state of Vermont with this new slate of endorsements:

First up, Vermont State Senate! After serving as a State Rep for Essex, Tanya Vyhovsky is even more determined to make change as a member of the state senate in Chittenden-Central District.

With a background in social work and social justice, Tanya wants to make sure the voices of all people have representation.

Tanya and our entire slate of candidates in Vermont (like ALL Our Revolution candidates!) are inspiring champions for climate justice, affordable housing, living wages, universal healthcare, strong education, and fair taxation.

These are just a few of the reasons why Our Revolution is backing VT State Rep. Brian Cina for re-election in District 15.

Brian is a lifelong organizer for progressive change, who has led and served in the State House as member of key caucuses for Climate Solutions and Social Equity, as well as Co-chair of Working Vermonters Caucus. We need him to continue his good work!

And, as you know, Our Revolution is proudly supporting State Rep. Emilie Krasnow for re-election in South Burlington as well!

Emilie Krasnow and Brian Cina were part of passing a historic law in Vermont recently, forcing fossil fuel corporations to pay for the climate damage they cause rather than taxpayers.

In June, Rep. Krasnow and Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, laid out the novel approach and how progressives can organize to pass similar legislation to hold Big Oil accountable in other states.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse David Zuckerman for re-election as Lieutenant Governor.

Zuckerman has worked with Bernie for decades, who knows the struggles faced by working people. A lifelong farmer and environmentalist, Zuckerman has experienced the devastation of climate events firsthand and seen people come together in times of crisis.

“We can’t let them pit us against each other,” David told us. “Climate affects all of us. When we unite, we are more powerful than the corporate powers. We just have to see it.”
