Mathewos Samson for Georgia State House District 58

By ALL, Endorsement, GA

Mathewos Samson for Georgia State House District 58

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Mathewos Samson for Georgia State House District 58 — a lifelong Atlantan, community organizer, and democratic socialist running to put working people ahead of billionaires and corporate interests.

Mathewos grew up in Atlanta’s historic Old Fourth Ward in a family of immigrants. His parents came to Atlanta in the 1980s after being displaced by conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. As his neighborhood changed, he watched longtime residents get priced out of the communities they had called home for decades.

That experience helped push Mathewos into organizing. He marched against the killing of George Floyd, organized his coworkers for better conditions and fair pay, worked on local progressive campaigns, and advocated at Atlanta City Hall for public transit expansion, affordable housing, and fairer taxes on the wealthy.

Now he’s taking that fight to the Georgia State Capitol.

At the heart of Mathewos’ campaign is a straightforward idea: Georgia should work for working people, not corporations and billionaires. His campaign refuses corporate PAC money and is powered by grassroots supporters.

Mathewos is putting forward a bold working-class agenda. He supports legalizing rent control, banning rental price-fixing, ending corporate ownership of single-family homes, establishing a Tenants Bill of Rights, and investing in affordable social housing. 

He’s also fighting for universal healthcare, including passage of the Georgia Medicare for All Act and the creation of a single-payer system without copays, deductibles, fees, or premiums. He also supports protecting abortion, birth control, and gender-affirming care as essential healthcare.

Mathewos understands that affordability goes far beyond housing and healthcare. He supports raising Georgia’s minimum wage to at least $20 an hour, repealing anti-union “right-to-work” laws, guaranteeing paid family leave, providing universal no-cost childcare and Pre-K, creating good-paying infrastructure jobs, and making the wealthiest Georgians pay their fair share in taxes.

It’s time to send another people-powered progressive to the State Capitol — and build a Georgia that works for all of us.

When we organize, we win.

Peter Hubbard for Georgia Public Service Commission

By ALL, Endorsement, GA

Peter Hubbard for Georgia Public Service Commission

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Peter Hubbard for reelection to the Georgia Public Service Commission — an energy expert and consumer advocate taking on powerful utility interests to fight for lower bills and a clean, reliable energy future.

Peter isn’t your typical politician. Before taking office, he spent 15 years working in the energy sector and analyzing energy markets, including developing grid-scale solar and battery storage projects that provide clean, reliable power.

He also founded a nonprofit and spent six years advocating for consumers before the Georgia Public Service Commission — challenging Georgia Power’s costly plans and putting forward alternatives designed to keep utility bills down.

Then, last November, Georgia voters sent him to the other side of the hearing room.

Peter won a special election to the PSC and was sworn in as a commissioner in January. And he wasted no time putting his energy expertise to work for Georgia consumers.

In his first months on the Commission, Peter has demanded an independent audit of Georgia Power’s profit margin, pushed to reconsider the PSC’s 2025 approval of a major fossil-fuel expansion, and published an analysis estimating that electricity discounts for data centers could shift more than $1 billion in infrastructure costs onto residential customers.

He has also testified before the state legislature about the need for stronger consumer protections.

For years, Peter was on the outside of the PSC fighting for consumers. Now he’s on the inside — asking tough questions, challenging corporate power, and pushing to put ratepayers ahead of utility profits.

Together with Commissioner Alicia Johnson, Peter’s election cut what had been a 5–0 Republican majority on the Commission to 3–2. This November, Peter is running for a full six-year term, with another PSC seat also on the ballot.

Peter’s campaign is focused on lower utility bills, reliable clean energy, and putting consumers at the center of the decisions that determine Georgia’s energy future.

That’s exactly the kind of leadership Our Revolution is organizing to elect at every level — leaders with the expertise to understand the system and the courage to challenge it.

We are proud to stand with Peter Hubbard for Georgia Public Service Commission.

When we organize, we win!

Sarah Rascón for California State Senate (SD-26)

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Sarah Rascón for California State Senate (SD-26)

 

Our Revolution is backing Sarah Rascón for California State Senate District 26 — an environmental advocate running a bold progressive campaign rooted in working families, environmental justice, and expanding opportunity in communities too often left behind.

Sarah was raised in El Sereno by her immigrant grandmother and became the first person in her family to graduate from college. She has spent her career expanding opportunities for young people and working to protect parks, open spaces, and the water communities depend on. 

She served as an East Area Planning Commissioner, giving her firsthand experience with the decisions that shape development in Los Angeles communities.

Her campaign puts environmental and social justice at the center — connecting the fight for a livable planet with the fight for economic opportunity and stronger communities. Sarah says she will stand up to Big Tech and billion-dollar corporations when their interests threaten communities’ water, power, and local voice.

She is also fighting for housing access and affordability, healthcare, corporate accountability, immigrant communities, and an economy that gives working families a real chance to get ahead. Sarah’s workforce agenda calls for expanding apprenticeships and community college programs while protecting good-paying union jobs and strengthening organized labor.

Sarah is running a grassroots campaign, and as a state senator would prioritize the voices of working families and underserved communities.

And voting starts soon. California counties begin mailing ballots and early voting begins Oct. 5, with the voting period running through Election Day, November 3. The first vote centers in Voter’s Choice Act counties open Oct. 24, and early in-person voting locations will be available statewide on Saturday, Oct. 31.

We are proud to endorse Sarah Rascón for California State Senate District 26.

Angela Gonzales-Torres for Congress (CA-34)

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Angela Gonzales-Torres for Congress (CA-34)

 

Angela Gonzales-Torres is housing advocate and democratic socialist running for Congress in California’s 34th District.

Born and raised in Highland Park, Angela is the daughter of a deportee and was raised by a single mother who relied on programs like SNAP and Medicaid. Those experiences are central to her agenda: welcome immigrants with a pathway to citizenship and free legal services, expand social programs to all and provide affordable housing.

Angela supports Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, tuition-free public college, student-debt cancellation, stronger protections for gig workers and expanded childcare and paid leave. She also proposes a Guaranteed Basic Income pilot for working families.

Angela brings a mix of grassroots organizing and public-service experience. She has served as President of the Highland Park Neighborhood Council, worked in the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office, and served as a regional representative on Metro’s Public Safety Advisory Committee. 

She has worked alongside communities confronting displacement, helped advance permanently affordable and intergenerational housing, and now works to help formerly incarcerated people transition from prison into higher education.

Angela’s campaign is grassroots, community-informed, and student-led — powered by people not corporations. And Our Revolution is proud to have her back!

Our Revolution is proud to endorse five candidates for New York State Assembly who are ready to fight for working people in Albany: Eli Northrup, Maurice Brown, Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse, Patrick Burke, and Adam Bojak.

From Manhattan and Syracuse to Rochester and Buffalo, these candidates are taking on rising costs, fighting for affordable housing and healthcare, standing with workers, and working to build a government that delivers for everyday New Yorkers.

Eli Northrup — Assembly District 69

Eli Northrup is a public defender, policy advocate, and community leader who has spent his career fighting for justice and standing up for people. As Policy Director for the Criminal Defense Practice at The Bronx Defenders, Eli has helped lead efforts in Albany to protect due process, expand opportunities for people with criminal records, and reform New York’s criminal justice system.

Now the Democratic and Working Families Party nominee for AD-69, Eli is running on a bold affordability agenda that includes universal childcare, universal healthcare, more affordable housing, stronger tenant protections, and making corporations and the wealthiest New Yorkers pay their fair share.

Maurice Brown — Assembly District 129

Maurice “Mo” Brown is a veteran, homeowner, and Onondaga County Legislator running to deliver stronger results for working families in Central New York.

His campaign is focused on lowering costs, expanding affordable housing, reducing utility bills, improving public transportation, investing in prevention-focused public safety, and making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. After a people-powered primary campaign fueled by volunteers, small-dollar donors, and grassroots organizing, Mo is taking that fight to the General Election.

Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse — Assembly District 134

Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse grew up in Hamlin, attended Hilton schools, and now works as General Manager of a family-owned auto business. As a longtime renter in Greece, Kurt says the pressures of rising costs and housing insecurity aren’t abstract political issues — they’re part of his own experience.

Running on a “People Over Profit” platform and rejecting corporate PAC and special-interest money, Kurt supports living wages, stronger unions, housing stability, the New York Health Act, and greater investment in mental health and addiction treatment.

Patrick Burke — Assembly District 142

Patrick Burke is a South Buffalo native running for reelection to represent New York’s 142nd Assembly District.

After serving as an Erie County legislator, Pat was elected to the State Assembly to continue advocating for his constituents and his community in Albany. Pat’s campaign is rooted in his commitment to Western New York, its people, and the environment, and his goal of making the region a better place for his family and everyone who calls it home.

Adam Bojak — Assembly District 149

Adam Bojak is a Family Court and housing-rights attorney who has spent nearly a decade representing everyday Western New Yorkers. Now, he’s running to bring a working-class, democratic socialist vision to Albany.

His campaign rejects developer and corporate money and is powered by working people.

Building Progressive Power Across New York

This November, we have an opportunity to build progressive power in Albany and elect champions who will fight for affordable housing and healthcare, workers and unions, strong public services, and communities where working families can thrive.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Eli Northrup, Maurice Brown, Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse, Patrick Burke, and Adam Bojak for New York State Assembly.

Progressive Slate for New York State Assembly PART 1

 

New York progressives are heading into November ready to build power in Albany.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse a slate of candidates for New York State Assembly who are taking on the status quo and fighting for working people — from Queens and Brooklyn to Manhattan and Western New York.

These candidates are organizers, advocates, working parents, attorneys, and community leaders running on the issues New Yorkers feel every day: housing, affordability, healthcare, childcare, workers’ rights, immigrant protections, and making government work for ordinary people.

Meet Our Revolution’s New York Assembly slate:

Samantha Kattan — Assembly District 37

Samantha Kattan is a working parent, longtime tenant organizer, daughter of Mexican and Syrian immigrants, and democratic socialist running to represent Long Island City, Maspeth, Ridgewood, Sunnyside, and Woodside.

Through her work organizing tenants, Samantha says she has seen both the housing conditions New Yorkers are forced to endure and the power people have when they organize together. She is running on social housing, stronger tenant protections, universal healthcare, free childcare, immigrant rights, and greener, healthier neighborhoods.

David Orkin — Assembly District 38

David Orkin is an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, union organizer, and democratic socialist running in Queens.

David has dedicated his career to defending workers and immigrants, and he’s running to take that fight to Albany. His campaign is focused on taxing the rich to fund childcare, housing, transit, and healthcare; protecting immigrant communities from ICE; and strengthening labor protections so workers can organize, earn fair wages, and hold employers accountable. His campaign also rejects corporate lobby, fossil fuel, and real estate money.

Christian Celeste Tate — Assembly District 54

Christian Celeste Tate is a community organizer and democratic socialist running to represent Bushwick and parts of East New York, including Cypress Hills and City Line.

Christian is running to build what her campaign calls a city where everyone has access to housing, healthcare, safety, and dignity. Her platform puts fighting displacement and keeping people in their homes at the center of the campaign, and she rejects corporate, fossil-fuel, and real-estate money.

Eon Huntley — Assembly District 56

Eon Huntley is an organizer running to represent Brooklyn’s 56th Assembly District on a campaign built around putting people over profit.

His campaign emphasizes organizing, coalition-building, direct action, and housing justice. Eon also pledges to reject corporate donations, including money from real estate interests, as he works to build a grassroots movement for working people in Brooklyn.

Illapa Sairitupac — Assembly District 65

Illapa Sairitupac is a tenant organizer and anti-ICE activist running to represent Lower Manhattan.

Illapa says New York is becoming unaffordable for everyone but the wealthy, and he’s running to make New York more affordable for working people, defend renters, and stand up to ICE. His campaign is rooted in the working-class and immigrant communities of Chinatown and the Lower East Side and the belief that the people who built these neighborhoods should be able to afford to remain in them.

David Siffert — Assembly District 66

David Siffert is an NYU School of Law professor seeking to represent lower Manhattan and become the first non-binary member of the NY state legislature.

After several years in private practice, David returned to NYU Law to serve as the director of research and projects at the school’s Center on Civil Justice – an initiative that advocates for more efficient procedures in local and federal courts and broader access to legal services for all Americans. Their campaign is rooted in issues like affordable housing, immigrants’ rights, and artificial intelligence regulation. 

Building Progressive Power in Albany

These races represent what Our Revolution has always been about: building progressive power from the ground up.

From tenant organizers and union organizers to public defenders and community advocates, these candidates are taking the fights happening in their neighborhoods directly to Albany.

This November, we have an opportunity to elect a new generation of progressive leaders who will fight for working people and help build a stronger progressive bloc in the New York State Assembly.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Samantha Kattan, David Orkin, Christian Celeste Tate, Eon Huntley, Illapa Sairitupac, and David Siffert.

Progressives for Illinois State Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, IL

Progressives for Illinois State Senate

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marsie Geldert-Murphey in Illinois Senate District 56 and Ben McAdams in Senate District 24 — two candidates ready to bring new leadership to Springfield and fight for an Illinois where working families can afford to live, thrive, and build a future.

Marsie Geldert-Murphey — Senate District 56

Marsie Geldert-Murphey is a builder — literally.

A civil engineer with more than 30 years of experience, Marsie has spent her career building the roads, bridges, and infrastructure communities depend on. Now, this political newcomer wants to put that experience to work building a stronger future for downstate Illinois.

Marsie understands that investing in infrastructure means creating good jobs and expanding economic opportunity. She wants smart, inclusive growth that allows young people to stay and succeed in their communities — while strengthening public schools, early childhood education, and school nutrition programs.

She’s also committed to protecting access to healthcare, including fighting for robust Medicaid funding and strengthening the healthcare workforce so families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities can get the care they need.

Marsie believes real change starts in our communities — by listening, bringing people together, and putting people and progress at the center of public policy.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marsie Geldert-Murphey for Illinois Senate District 56.

Ben McAdams — Senate District 24

Ben McAdams is running with a bold progressive vision: healthcare and housing should be rights, working families deserve an economy that works for them, and corporations and the ultra-wealthy should pay their fair share.

A lifelong Illinois resident, Ben got his start in local activism and community organizing before studying public interest law and working with legal nonprofits to help people who couldn’t afford representation.

Ben believes healthcare is a human right and wants Illinois to invest in public healthcare, protect reproductive and mental healthcare, and defend communities from Medicaid cuts.

He also wants to shift the tax burden off working and middle-class families by making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay more — including through a billionaire wealth tax, closing corporate tax loopholes, and taxing digital advertising by Big Tech.

On climate, Ben supports public investment toward a 100% green energy economy, regulating AI and data centers, and making polluters pay. He’s also committed to protecting immigrants from ICE overreach, defending LGBTQ+ rights and voting rights, and ensuring due process for everyone.

From affordable healthcare and good-paying jobs to climate action and economic justice, Ben is running to build an Illinois that works for everyday people — not just those with the most wealth and power.

Marsie and Ben bring different experiences to this fight, but they share a commitment to building an Illinois where government delivers for working people.

Aber Kawas for NY State Senate SD-12

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Aber Kawas for NY State Senate (SD-12)

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aber Kawas for New York State Senate District 12 — a community organizer and democratic socialist who has spent more than 15 years fighting alongside working-class New Yorkers.

The daughter of Palestinian refugees and raised in a working-class New York City family, Aber’s politics are deeply rooted in her own experience.

When she was young, her father was detained by ICE and deported. Her family struggled to make ends meet while he was detained — an experience Aber says shaped her commitment to building power for poor and working people.

And she has spent years putting that commitment into action.

Aber has organized in the Fight for $15, fought police surveillance and harassment, worked for immigration reform, and helped develop and launch the Not On Our Dime campaign. Now, she’s running to bring that organizing experience to Albany.

Fighting for Working Families in Queens

Aber is running on a bold platform centered on making New York affordable and ensuring working people can live with dignity.

She supports passing the New York Health Act to provide comprehensive healthcare to every New Yorker, creating tens of thousands of permanently affordable, union-built social housing units, strengthening tenant protections, and making MTA buses fast and free.

She also wants to tax the rich to fund public services, expand public renewable energy, create union jobs, protect immigrant communities from ICE, and invest in the infrastructure working families depend on.

And Aber is running the same way she has organized throughout her career: from the grassroots up. Her campaign says it is powered by working people, not corporations or billionaires.

Building Progressive Power in Albany

Aber is running to represent communities across Queens, including parts of Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Long Island City, Elmhurst, Glendale, and Jackson Heights.

Her campaign represents exactly the kind of progressive pipeline Our Revolution is working to build across the country: grassroots organizers taking the fights happening in their communities directly into the halls of power.

This November, Queens has an opportunity to send a working-class organizer to Albany who will fight for affordable housing, healthcare for all, workers, immigrants, climate action, and a government that puts people before corporations and billionaires.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aber Kawas for New York State Senate District 12.

Progressives Building Local Power Across California

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse a new slate of candidates fighting to build people-powered government from the ground up across California.

From county government and city councils to school boards and the local agencies that manage essential public resources, these races are where decisions that directly shape people’s lives get made. And they’re exactly where our movement needs strong, accountable leaders ready to put working people and their communities first.

Flo Cofer — Sacramento County Supervisor, District 1

Our Revolution is excited to endorse Dr. Flojaune “Flo” Cofer for Sacramento County Supervisor, District 1.

Flo is an epidemiologist, policy leader, and longtime community advocate running to bring bold, people-centered leadership to county government. Her campaign is 100% corporate-free, rejecting contributions from corporate PACs, law-enforcement unions, real-estate interests, and the fossil-fuel industry.

Her platform brings together economic, housing, health, labor, and climate justice under three powerful priorities: Protect Our People. Keep People Housed. Green Jobs, Good Pay.

Flo is fighting to prevent evictions and displacement, expand affordable and supportive housing, strengthen behavioral health care, protect immigrant communities, defend workers’ right to organize, and create union jobs through a just transition to clean energy. She supports CalCare single-payer healthcare, a local public banking strategy, stronger protections against privatization, and participatory budgeting that gives residents a greater voice in how public dollars are spent.

She’s also calling for a halt to the unchecked expansion of AI data centers unless strong protections are in place for workers, water, energy, the environment, and surrounding communities.

Flo understands that county government shouldn’t simply manage crises — it should solve problems, protect people, and create the conditions for everyone to thrive.

Marisol Rubio — San Ramon City Council, District 4

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marisol Rubio for San Ramon City Council, District 4.

Local government has enormous power over the affordability, sustainability, and quality of life of our communities. Marisol represents the kind of people-powered leadership our movement is working to strengthen in cities across California.

We’re proud to stand with her as she fights to keep District 4 moving forward and ensure working people have a strong voice in San Ramon City Hall.

Conan Moats — Diablo Water District, Ward 2

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Conan Moats for Diablo Water District, Ward 2.

Water is a public resource — and the people making decisions about its future matter.

As corporations and major new developments place growing demands on California’s water and infrastructure, communities deserve leaders who will put residents and responsible stewardship at the center of those decisions.

That’s why we’re proud to support Conan and the fight for accountable, community-centered leadership at the Diablo Water District.

Brandon Dawkins — Antioch Unified School District Board, Trustee Area 5

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brandon Dawkins for Antioch Unified School District Board, Trustee Area 5.

Strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities, and school-board elections are a critical part of building progressive power from the bottom up.

Brandon is running under a simple but important vision: “Whole Student, Whole Community.”

We’re proud to stand with Brandon and his campaign to bring a community-centered voice to the Antioch school board.

Building Progressive Power From the Ground Up

These may be local races, but their impact is anything but small.

For ten years, Our Revolution has worked to build a progressive pipeline from the grassroots up — supporting movement leaders who are ready to serve their communities, challenge entrenched power, and make government work for working people.

That’s how lasting political change happens: school board by school board, city council by city council, county by county.

This November, let’s keep building that power across California.

When we organize, we win.

Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Estuardo Mazariegos for Los Angeles City Council District 9.

Estuardo has spent nearly two decades organizing alongside working families in South Los Angeles. Now, he’s running to take that fight to City Hall.

A father, immigrant and longtime community organizer, Mazariegos came to Los Angeles as a child after his family fled political violence in Guatemala. Today, he serves as Co-Director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), where he has helped turn neighborhood organizing into citywide victories for tenants and working families.

His campaign points to a record that includes helping lead the fights for Los Angeles’ Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance and Resident Protection Ordinance and helping pass Measure ULA, which raises revenue for affordable housing and homelessness programs.

That organizing background is at the heart of his campaign for City Council.

Mazariegos is running on a platform to lower rents, strengthen tenant protections, expand social housing, raise wages and improve basic city services. He also supports making buses free, expanding protected bike and bus lanes, investing in community-based violence prevention and mental-health care, and strengthening police accountability.

His campaign puts immigrant rights front and center, calling for legal representation and due process regardless of immigration status, stronger access to city services and greater economic protections for immigrant families. And he has laid out proposals addressing environmental justice and protections for LGBTQ+ Angelenos.

Mazariegos refuses money from corporate PACs, real estate developers and police associations, instead running a grassroots campaign accountable to District 9 residents rather than wealthy or well-connected interests.

For Mazariegos, the through-line is the same one that has defined his years as an organizer: building power for the people who make Los Angeles run — workers, tenants, immigrants and families — and demanding that city government deliver for them.

Let’s send Estuardo to LA City Hall!

When we organize, we win.
