Zo Qadri for Austin City Council District 9

By ALL, Endorsement, TX

Zo Qadri for Austin City Council District 9

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Zohaib “Zo” Qadri for re-election to Austin City Council District 9.

Zo is showing what progressive leadership at the local level can accomplish: take on the affordability crisis, stand with workers and renters, invest in public health, protect democracy, and make government deliver for the people who call Austin home.

As Austin’s first South Asian City Councilmember, Zo has spent his first term fighting to make one of America’s fastest-changing cities more affordable, accessible, and just. And he has a record of results.

On housing, Zo has helped deliver some of Austin’s most significant affordability reforms. He led zoning and housing changes aimed at increasing supply and making it possible for working people and families to stay in the city. His campaign points to a 10% decline in rents citywide since he took office, while District 9 leads the city in new housing units coming online. He has also passed comprehensive tenant protections and pushed for more affordable and accessible student housing.

Zo stands with working people. On the Council, he passed a resolution supporting workers’ rights and urging Google to bargain with YouTube Music contractors. He has stood alongside workers organizing with AFSCME, EMS, Seton Nurses, Restaurant Workers United, UPS, UNITE HERE, Starbucks, and others fighting for collective agreements and better working conditions.

He is also fighting for an Austin where public safety means investing in people and communities. Zo secured funding for a Mental Health Diversion Pilot, paramedics, and Community Health Navigators, while expanding resources to address homelessness and permanent supportive housing. He was also the lone vote against a five-year, $218 million Austin police contract, warning that the agreement could take resources away from city-funded social services.

And Zo understands that progressive leadership means defending democracy itself. He expanded access to voter registration at city facilities, fought for implementation of the Austin Police Oversight Act, championed open government, and has pushed back against government overreach.

This is why local elections matter.

When we elect progressives to city councils, we can lower housing costs, protect renters, stand with workers organizing for a better deal, invest in public health, expand democracy, and improve people’s lives right now.

Zo Qadri has spent his first term putting those values into action. Now he’s running to keep building an Austin where working people can afford to stay, families can thrive, and everyone has a voice in the future of their city.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Zo Qadri for Austin City Council District 9.

Let’s keep building progressive power from the ground up.

Jessie Lopez for California State Assembly District 68

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Jessie Lopez for California State Assembly District 68

 

A proven champion for working families, Jessie Lopez is ready to take the fight from Santa Ana City Hall to Sacramento.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jessie Lopez for California State Assembly District 68.

Born and raised in Santa Ana and the daughter of immigrants, Jessie Lopez knows firsthand what working families are up against. Jessie experienced housing and food insecurity while working two jobs to put herself through college. She became the first person in her family to graduate from college—and she has carried that determination into a career of fighting for her community.  

Jessie stepped up to run for Santa Ana City Council because she saw a need for leadership that would put working families first. First elected in 2020 and reelected in 2024, she has built a record of delivering results—from expanding affordable housing and addressing homelessness to protecting public land and improving water quality.  

Her record is exactly the kind of people-powered leadership California needs in the State Assembly.

Jessie helped pass Santa Ana’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance and helped secure $24 million for affordable housing. She established a Police Oversight Commission, championed anti-corruption policies, and helped secure funding for climate action, lead remediation, parks, and neighborhood improvements.  

And she isn’t finished.

In the State Assembly, Jessie will fight to make housing affordable, address homelessness, expand economic opportunity and fair wages, invest in public safety and accountability, protect clean air and water, and improve quality of life for working families.  

Jessie has also made clear that she will stand up for immigrant families and push back against attacks on the communities she represents. Her campaign describes her as a leader who puts community first—and her record shows that she doesn’t just talk about change; she fights to deliver it.  

This is a race about what kind of leadership working people deserve: someone who understands the challenges of paying rent, earning a fair wage, accessing quality public services, and building a better future because she has lived those challenges herself.

Jessie Lopez has the experience, the courage, and the record to bring that fight to Sacramento.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Jessie Lopez for California State Assembly—and we urge voters in AD-68 to join us in sending a fearless champion for working families to Sacramento.

Antione is also committed to safeguarding the state’s springs and aquifer, preserving farmland, stopping reckless development, and calling for a moratorium on AI data centers until Florida establishes meaningful protections for its water, workers, privacy, and local communities.

Throughout his campaign, Antione has emphasized that real progress starts with people. That’s why he has pledged not to accept corporate PAC or lobbyist money, choosing instead to build a grassroots campaign fueled by supporters who believe government should answer to the people it serves.

Florida House District 21 deserves a representative who will fight for working people, protect our democracy, and stand up to entrenched interests. Antione Fields has spent his career doing exactly that, and he’ll bring those same values to the state capitol in Tallahassee.

Christian Urrutia for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District 

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Christian Urrutia for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District.

Christian Urrutia is running a people-powered campaign built around the belief that government should work for everyone—not just those with the most money and influence. 

He is focused on delivering bold solutions for working families — from reining in private equity to make housing more affordable to strengthening labor rights, his goal is to ensure every person has the opportunity to thrive.

The son of immigrants, Christian grew up in New Hampshire and built a career focused on service—from fighting human rights abuses in courtrooms to defending service members in the Army National Guard. He has served as Special Counsel at the Pentagon under President Biden and worked on technology policy focused on human rights, anti-discrimination, and privacy.

Our Revolution believes we need a new generation of leaders who are ready to take on concentrated wealth and build an economy that works for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to stand with Christian Urrutia.

Protecting Rights and Building Safer Communities

Jarrett is a strong supporter of reproductive freedom and believes every person deserves the ability to make their own health care decisions.

He also calls for protecting immigrant communities from unconstitutional enforcement actions while ensuring our immigration system reflects American values of fairness and due process.

For Hawaiʻi, he has made cleaning up the Red Hill fuel contamination a top priority, calling for the federal government to fully address the environmental and public health crisis affecting local families.

Pursuing Peace and Responsible Leadership

Jarrett believes America should lead through diplomacy whenever possible and that Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility over decisions of war and peace. His campaign calls for strengthening congressional oversight of military action and pursuing a foreign policy that prioritizes diplomacy over endless conflict.

Five Progressives for the Minnesota Legislature

From protecting workers’ rights and defending reproductive freedom to expanding affordable housing and taking on corporate power, Minnesota has shown what’s possible when bold progressives are elected to office.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse four outstanding candidates for the Minnesota Legislature:

    • Jen McEwen for State Senate (SD-8)
  • John Marty for State Senate (SD-40)
  • Omar Fateh for State Senate (SD-62)
  • Robyn Gulley for State Senate (SD-65)
  • David Gottfried for State House (HD-40B)

These leaders are fighting for working people—not wealthy special interests—and are building a Minnesota where everyone can thrive.

Jen McEwen for State Senate (SD-8)

Attorney and current State Senator Jen McEwen has become one of Minnesota’s leading progressive champions since first winning her Duluth-area seat in 2022. As Chair of the Senate Labor Committee, she led landmark legislation expanding workers’ rights, including earned sick and safe time, stronger protections for unions, banning captive audience meetings, and strengthening workplace safety laws.

Jen also authored the landmark Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, which codified abortion rights into Minnesota law after the fall of Roe v. Wade. She continues to champion universal health care, affordable housing, environmental protection, taxing the wealthiest Minnesotans to invest in public goods, and protecting Minnesota’s water from dangerous mining projects.

John Marty for State Senate (SD-40)

A nationally recognized leader on government ethics and one of Minnesota’s longest-serving progressive champions, State Senator John Marty has spent decades taking on special interests and fighting for working people. 

John is the author of the Minnesota Health Plan to guarantee comprehensive health care for all, has led efforts to strengthen campaign finance and ethics laws, and has been a steadfast advocate for climate action, reproductive freedom, economic justice, and protecting the rights of immigrants and LGBTQ+ communities. Powered by small donors—not PACs or special interests—John continues to fight for a government that puts people before corporate power. 

Omar Fateh for State Senate (SD-62)

The son of Somali immigrants and the first Somali American elected to the Minnesota Senate, Omar Fateh has become one of the Legislature’s boldest progressive voices. Since taking office, he has helped deliver major victories for working families, including tuition-free college through the North Star Promise program, universal school meals, earned sick and safe time, one of the nation’s strongest minimum wage standards for Uber and Lyft drivers, and Minnesota’s 100% Clean Energy by 2040 law.

Omar continues to fight for immigrant communities, affordable housing, economic justice, and a government that puts people before corporate interests.

Robyn Gulley for State Senate (SD-65)

A longtime community advocate, public policy leader, and former nonprofit executive, Robyn Gulley is running a proudly progressive campaign rooted in the belief that “everybody in, nobody out.” Endorsed by the DFL and organized labor, Robyn is campaigning as a pro-worker, pro-choice, pro-immigrant, and pro-environment champion committed to strengthening public schools, protecting fundamental rights, and ensuring government delivers for everyday Minnesotans.

Her vision is centered on bringing people together, building stronger communities, and creating an economy that works for everyone—not just those at the top.

David Gottfried for State House (HD-40B)

David Gottfried is a State Representative dedicated to strengthening Minnesota’s public institutions. Serving on the Agriculture, Education, and Environment committees, David is focused on supporting public schools, protecting Minnesota’s natural resources, strengthening local agriculture, and ensuring government delivers real results for working families.

His campaign reflects a deep commitment to investing in education, protecting the environment, and building stronger communities across Minnesota.
