Endorsement

Nick Uniejewski for Illinois State Senate (District 6)

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nick Uniejewski for Illinois State Senate in District 6 — a community organizer, policy analyst, and unapologetic progressive ready to bring bold, people-centered leadership to Springfield.

Nick is running to offer a new kind of representation for communities long left behind by politics as usual. A lifelong organizer, he has led grassroots efforts that bring people together for real change, from founding the Chicago Salon Club— hosting hundreds of community “salons” focused on housing, transit, and equity — to working as a policy analyst for the City of Chicago Department of Family and Support Services and as a statewide organizer with reproductive rights groups.

His campaign is grounded in listening to neighbors and building coalitions, not taking corporate PAC money.

Nick is running on a bold progressive platform that meets the urgency of this moment: building more affordable housing statewide, modernizing public transit for riders and workers, and ending the outsized influence of corporate money in politics so everyday people — not special interests — determine policy in Springfield.

At a time when Illinois faces historic challenges — from housing instability and inadequate transit options to the corrosive influence of big money in politics — Nick’s leadership offers a fresh, progressive, people-powered alternative rooted in organizing and accountability to the communities he seeks to serve.

Make a Plan to Vote

Election Day is March 17 and early voting starts Feb. 18.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Nick Uniejewski, a fighter for housing justice, transit equity, campaign finance reform, and a more inclusive, responsive democracy.

Karina Villa for Illinois Comptroller

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Karina Villa for Illinois Comptroller — a proven progressive leader with deep roots in community service and a strong record of delivering for working families. Karina brings the values and experience Illinois needs in an office responsible for managing public dollars with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Karina currently serves in the Illinois State Senate, where she has consistently fought for economic justice, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, and responsible budgeting that puts people first. A former school social worker and lifelong advocate for children and families, she brings a people-centered lens to fiscal policy — understanding that budgets are moral documents that shape real lives. Karina has also been a strong ally of labor, standing with union workers and supporting fair wages and worker protections.

As Comptroller, Karina will go beyond balancing the books. She is committed to ensuring transparency in state spending, closing corporate tax loopholes, and making sure public dollars are paid on time to schools, healthcare providers, and human service organizations that communities rely on. She understands that Illinois can’t build a fair economy while allowing powerful interests to dodge responsibility.

Our Revolution is endorsing Karina because she represents the kind of leadership our movement exists to support: bold, principled, and accountable to the people — not corporate donors. The Democratic primary election is March 17, 2026, and we’re proud to stand with Karina Villa as she runs to make Illinois government work for everyone.

When we organize, we win.

Rep. Delia Ramirez for Reelection in Illinois’ 3rd District

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rep. Delia Ramirez for reelection to Congress in Illinois’ 3rd District. From her earliest days in office, Delia has embodied the bold, people-powered leadership our movement exists to elect — standing unapologetically with working people, challenging corporate power, and pushing for transformative change.

A Record of Progressive Wins

Since arriving in the U.S. House, Delia has been a force for progress on the issues that matter most to our communities. She has:

  • Championed Medicare for All by co-sponsoring legislation that would ensure affordable, quality healthcare for every person in this country.
  • Led the fight for environmental justice, advancing climate solutions that prioritize frontline communities and clean energy jobs.
  • Defended workers’ rights and economic dignity, advocating for paid leave, fair wages, and protections for working families.
  • Stood with immigrant communities as a vocal opponent of cruel deportation policies and a defender of humane immigration reform.
  • Fought for reproductive freedom, voting to safeguard and expand access to reproductive healthcare for all.

Delia’s leadership reflects the values of our movement: she doesn’t just talk about justice — she votes for it, organizes for it, and uses her platform to uplift the voices of people who have long been ignored by corporate-backed politicians.

Fighting Corporate Power and Oligarch Influence

Delia is a cosponsor of the Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People resolution — introduced to Congress by Rep. Rashida Tlaib with our support. Together we’re confronting the dangerous fusion of billionaire money and political power. That resolution, grounded in research by Our Revolution, calls for ending corporate subsidies, tax giveaways, and political favoritism that funnel wealth upward while everyday people struggle to afford healthcare, housing, and education.

Our Revolution endorsed Delia in her first race for Congress, and since then we’ve worked alongside her on key issues like holding corporate polluters accountable, expanding democratic participation, and defending immigrant rights. She is a partner in the movement, not just a voice in Washington.

People-Powered Leadership in a Critical Time

In an era where billionaire interests and corporate PACs dominate political influence, Delia’s commitment to people-centered policy is exactly what Congress needs. She shows up for frontline communities, listens to working families, and consistently fights for an agenda that reflects the priorities of everyday people — not special interests.

As Republicans continue to push policies that enrich the wealthy and erode basic rights, we need leaders like Delia who will stand firm for democracy, economic justice, and human dignity.

Make a Plan to Vote

Election Day for the primary is March 17. We encourage all supporters of progressive leadership to turn out and help reelect Rep. Delia Ramirez — a leader who consistently delivers for working people.

When we organize, we win.

Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner — a rancher and longtime community organizer, he has dedicated his life to challenging corporate influence in agriculture and fighting for economic justice across the state.

He also serves as President of the Texas Progressive Caucus and has worked as a fair trade organizer, taking on powerful interests that ship jobs overseas and rig the rules against working families.

Clayton’s vision for the Agriculture Commissioner’s office is clear: make food and farming affordable, protect water and land resources, support sustainable and regenerative practices, and ensure that family farmers and ranchers — not big agribusiness monopolies — thrive in Texas.

His deep ties to grassroots movements — including his history of organizing with Our Revolution Texas — show that Clayton doesn’t just talk about people-powered change, he lives it.

A Vision for Texas Agriculture That Puts People First

As Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton Tucker will bring a people-centered agenda to an office too often dominated by corporate agribusiness interests. His priorities include:

  • Supporting small and mid-sized farms over corporate monocultures
  • Expanding access to healthy, affordable food in rural and urban communities
  • Defending farmworkers’ rights and labor protections
  • Promoting regenerative, climate-smart farming practices
  • Challenging corporate influence and oligarchic control over Texas agriculture policy
  • Ensuring fair markets and competition for family farmers and ranchers

Clayton understands that agricultural policy isn’t just about crops and cattle — it’s about food security, environmental sustainability, rural economic development, and justice for the people who work the land.

Our Movement, Our Fight

In endorsing Clayton Tucker, Our Revolution is backing a candidate who represents the heart of people-powered politics: leaders who organize with communities, fight for structural change, and refuse corporate PAC money.

Texas deserves an Agriculture Commissioner who will stand up to agribusiness monopolies, defend the rights and livelihoods of small farmers and farmworkers, and work every day to ensure that our food and land policies serve the people — not just the powerful.

Clayton Tucker is that leader — and we are proud to stand with him. Election Day is March 3.

When we organize, we win.

Tristan Rader for Ohio State Rep in HD-13

By Endorsement, OH

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Tristan Rader for the Ohio House — a proven progressive leader who has delivered real results for working people and communities across Northeast Ohio.

Tristan currently serves as State Representative for Ohio’s 13th District, representing Cleveland’s West Side and Lakewood. Prior to his election to the Statehouse, he served on the Lakewood City Council, where he built a strong record of people-centered leadership rooted in community needs.

Before holding office, Tristan worked as a community organizer and clean energy advocate, including with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, helping connect neighbors to essential resources. That background continues to shape his work in office — focusing on economic justice, environmental sustainability, and community health.

In the Ohio Legislature, Tristan has been a consistent voice for clean energy, environmental justice, and policies that lower costs for working families. He has championed community energy projects, fought for cleanup of polluted sites, and pushed back against policies that put corporate interests ahead of public good.

Why We’re Endorsing Tristan

Tristan Rader represents the kind of leadership Our Revolution exists to elect: bold, principled, and grounded in organizing. He doesn’t just talk about progressive values — he works to turn them into concrete wins for the people he represents.

At a time when Ohio needs leaders willing to stand up to corporate power and fight for everyday people, Tristan has shown he’s ready — and already doing the work.

Make a Plan to Vote

Early in-person voting begins April 8, and Election Day is May 5. We encourage everyone in the district to vote early if possible and help re-elect a leader who puts people first.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Tristan Rader.

Junaid Ahmed for Congress IL-08

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Junaid Ahmed for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 8th District — a grassroots leader, small business owner, and relentless advocate for working families who will bring people-powered progressive leadership to Washington.

A Fighter for Working People and Community Power

Junaid’s life and work reflect the values our movement was built on. As the son of immigrant working-class parents, he grew up seeing firsthand how hard families work to make ends meet, and he’s dedicated his life to building pathways to opportunity and justice for others.

Throughout his career, Junaid has been a community organizer and small business owner — founding a tech company that employs local workers and co-founding Chi-Care, a nonprofit that has delivered over one million meals and supplies to unhoused neighbors across the Chicago area.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Junaid didn’t step back — he stepped up, launching efforts to deliver hot meals and essential support to those most affected, demonstrating the kind of compassionate leadership our communities need.

A Bold Progressive Agenda

Junaid is running to fix a system that too often serves corporations and billionaires instead of working people. He has pledged to:

  • Fight for Medicare for All and affordable healthcare
  • Raise wages and protect workers’ rights
  • Champion quality public education and affordable college
  • Reduce the influence of corporate money in politics
  • Take on the climate crisis with bold, equitable action
  • Defend immigrant, civil, and LGBTQ+ rights
    These priorities align with the values driving our Defund the Oligarchs campaign and the broader progressive movement.

Standing With Movement Allies

Junaid has earned key progressive endorsements, including from the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, which recognizes his vision for people-centered leadership in Congress. He has also received backing from Justice Democrats, further highlighting his commitment to rejecting corporate PAC money and building a government that answers to people — not special interests.

People-Powered, Not Corporate-Funded

Junaid refuses corporate PAC money, believing ballots — not big checks — should determine our leadership. His campaign’s grassroots fundraising and broad community support reflect the power of working people organizing together for change.

A Progressive Voice for Illinois and the Nation

As Our Revolution continues the fight to Defund Oligarchy and Fund the People, Junaid Ahmed stands as a candidate who understands the stakes — from healthcare and housing to workers’ rights and democratic accountability. His life’s work is rooted in service, compassion, and community empowerment, and we’re proud to stand with him.

Join us in supporting Junaid Ahmed for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District.

Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04

By Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nida Allam for U.S. Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District — a fearless progressive leader, lifelong organizer, and proven champion for working people.

Nida’s roots in this movement run deep. She served as Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, helping build the grassroots infrastructure that sparked a political revolution across the country. That’s why Bernie Sanders — Our Revolution’s founder — has also endorsed Nida, and why we’re excited to help elect her to Congress.

A Leader Forged Through Organizing and Courage

Nida’s decision to enter public life was deeply personal. In 2015, three of her closest friends were shot and killed in an Islamophobic hate crime — an act of violence that local authorities wrongly dismissed as a “parking dispute.” That moment changed her life and propelled her into organizing and politics, determined to fight hate, injustice, and systems that silence marginalized communities.

Her leadership broke barriers: Nida Allam became the first Muslim woman ever elected to public office in North Carolina.

Delivering Real Change in Office

Today, Nida serves on the Durham County Commission, where she’s delivered tangible wins for working families and immigrant communities. In office, she:

  • Voted to raise the minimum wage for county employees to $15 an hour
  • Led the charge for low-income tax grant assistance during the pandemic
  • Secured funding for a Refugee and Immigrant Services Coordinator to better serve families in her district

Her record proves what happens when organizers govern — people’s lives improve.

The Leadership Congress Needs Now

Nida is running for Congress to bring that same clarity and courage to Washington. She’s fighting for Medicare for All, climate justice, strong labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics— because democracy can’t work when billionaires and corporate lobbyists write the rules.

At a moment when oligarch power threatens our economy and our democracy, Nida understands what’s at stake — and she’s ready to confront it head-on.

Building People Power, Not Corporate Power

Nida’s campaign is powered by grassroots supporters, not corporate PACs. It reflects the values Our Revolution was founded to advance: bold leadership, deep organizing, and unwavering accountability to working people.

With Bernie Sanders’ endorsement and the support of Our Revolution members nationwide, Nida Allam is ready to bring movement leadership to Congress and help lead the fight to Defund Oligarchy and fund the people.

We’re proud to stand with her.

Join us in supporting Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04.

Proudly Endorsing Analilia Mejia for Congress in NJ-11!

By Endorsement, NJ

We’re proud to announce Our Revolution’s endorsement of Analilia Mejia for U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District!

Analilia is a proven movement leader — and she’s been in the fight alongside the leaders who’ve helped build our progressive movement from the ground up.

A former union organizer, Analilia previously served as the director of the NJ Working Families Alliance, national political director for Bernie 2020, and co-executive director of Popular Democracy — helping elect working-class champions and take on corporate power across the country.

Now she’s running for Congress to bring that same organizing spirit to Washington. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have also endorsed Analilia, and Bernie joined her for a rally on MLK Day as part of his Fight Oligarchy Tour.

Analilia isn’t running to play politics as usual — she’s running to deliver bold, urgent change for working people: Medicare for All, climate action, stronger labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics. She’ll fight to take on the billionaire class and corporate lobbyists who have rigged the economy — and to build a government that invests in We the People.

At Our Revolution, we know what it takes to win — and we know who will fight for our values once they’re in office. Analilia Mejia is the kind of candidate we exist to elect, and NJ-11 has a chance to send a real progressive champion to Congress.

This race is winnable — but only if we show up, organize, and build people-power together.

When we organize, we win!
