ADELITA GRIJALVA FOR U.S. CONGRESS AZ-7

By AZ, Endorsement, Uncategorized

We’re proud to announce Our Revolution’s endorsement of Adelita Grijalva for U.S. Congress in Arizona’s 7th District!Adelita isn’t just a powerful advocate for working families—she’s a movement leader with deep roots in the fight for economic, social, and climate justice. She’s running to succeed her father, the beloved Congressman Raúl Grijalva, a founding co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a longtime Our Revolution champion. We stood with Rep. Grijalva for years—and now we’re honored to stand with his daughter as she carries the torch forward.

As a Tucson City Council member and former school board president, Adelita has always fought to uplift her community. She’s been on the front lines of the fight for:

  • – Medicare for All and universal healthcare
  • – Clean energy and climate action to protect the Southwest
  • – Public education and student debt relief
  • – Reproductive freedom and abortion rights
  • – Protecting immigrant communities and taking on corporate greed

Adelita’s campaign isn’t backed by corporate PACs—it’s powered by people. And just like her father, she’s unafraid to speak truth to power and demand bold solutions that match the scale of our challenges.This is a pivotal moment for the progressive movement. We need more fighters like Adelita Grijalva in Congress—leaders with integrity, vision, and an unshakable commitment to justice.

Let’s send her to Washington with a resounding message: The people are rising, and we’re just getting started.

TROY JACKSON FOR GOVERNOR MAINE

By Endorsement, ME, Uncategorized

We’re proud to announce that Our Revolution is endorsing Troy Jackson for Governor of Maine.

Troy isn’t your typical politician—he’s a logger, union leader, and lifelong fighter for working people. Raised in the North Woods of Maine, Troy knows firsthand the struggles rural Mainers face because he’s lived them. He’s stood shoulder to shoulder with workers on the picket line and never backed down from the corporate elites and political insiders who try to block progress.

As President of the Maine Senate, Troy has delivered real results: expanding access to health care, lowering prescription drug prices, fighting for paid family leave, and protecting collective bargaining rights. He’s helped make Maine a leader on climate jobs and renewable energy, while always putting working families—not wealthy donors—first.

That’s why Senator Bernie Sanders is endorsing Troy, too.

“Troy knows what’s going on with the working class of Maine because he’s part of that working class,” Bernie said. “We need candidates who, unequivocally, will stand with working-class families against the enormous power of the monied interests.”

With Trump and the billionaire class trying to tighten their grip on power, we need governors like Troy Jackson—leaders who aren’t bought, who won’t sell out, and who are ready to fight for the rest of us.

Together, we can elect a governor who works for the people—not the powerful.
