Ed Markey for Re-Election to the US Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, MA

Ed Markey for Re-Election to the US Senate

 

Ed Markey is a national leader on energy, environmental protection and telecommunications policy, demonstrating his deep commitment to improving the lives of the people of Massachusetts and our country.

That’s why Our Revolution wants to send Ed back to the US Senate to continue serving alongside Bernie Sanders to defend our democracy and fight for working families.

Whether the issue is climate change, clean energy, safeguarding privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, investor protection, or preserving an open Internet that spurs competition and consumer choice, Ed defends our progressive values and holds the powerful elites accountable.

Experience Matters

Elected to the Senate after a lengthy and distinguished career in the US House, Ed brings his energy and experience to fight for the people of Massachusetts.

In the House and Senate, Ed has: 

  • Co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act in the Senate
  • Co-authored the landmark Waxman-Markey bill
  • Lead the call to investigate the disastrous BP oil spill
  • Been instrumental in breaking up telecommunications monopolies
  • Introduced the Internet Freedom Preservation Act
  • Authored of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression

At a time when many corporate Democrats are openly declaring war on progressives, Ed is committed to a Democratic Party that addresses climate change and preserves our environment, defends the rights of consumers while expanding opportunity, and advocating for a national single-payer healthcare system that guarantees comprehensive, affordable care to every American.

The Stakes in This Race

Massachusetts is facing critical challenges that demand bold and trusted leadership.

Throughout his tenure in Congress, Ed has focused on confronting the climate crisis, lowering the cost of housing and utilities, expanding access to healthcare, and protecting our communities. 

Ed has secured hundreds of millions in direct federal investments to protect and support communities across Massachusetts— from Boston to Worcester to Springfield to the Cape and Islands. Through congressionally directed spending and key infrastructure legislation, he delivers vital resources directly to the Commonwealth’s municipalities.

Ed has delivered for his community, but this race is about so much more than that.

It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue moving toward a bold, unapologetically progressive vision that takes on concentrated wealth and corporate power — or will the elites and corporate apologists drag our party back toward the policies that have failed working people for decades.

Ed Markey has taken a stand.

And Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win.

Ro Khanna for Re-Election to Congress

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Ro Khanna for Re-Election to Congress

 

For nearly a decade in Congress, Rep. Ro Khanna has proven that bold progressive leadership can deliver real results. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to represent California’s 17th Congressional District.

Ro has never been afraid to challenge powerful interests—whether they’re billionaires, Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex, or political insiders. He has consistently used his platform to fight for working people, defend democracy, and build a government that puts people before corporate power.

Ro’s commitment to our movement runs deep. As a National Co-Chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, he helped advance a vision of Medicare for All, economic justice, climate action, and a government accountable to ordinary Americans—not wealthy donors. That same vision continues to guide his work in Congress.

Throughout his time in office, Ro has been one of Congress’s strongest champions for universal healthcare, repeatedly backing legislation to guarantee healthcare as a human right, lower prescription drug prices, expand Medicare, and tackle medical debt. He argues that no American should go bankrupt because they get sick and remains committed to making universal healthcare a reality.

Ro has also emerged as one of the leading voices in Congress against endless war.

He has led bipartisan efforts to reclaim Congress’s constitutional authority over decisions of war and peace, introducing War Powers legislation to prevent unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran and arguing that America should invest in jobs and healthcare—not more endless wars.

Ro has consistently called for an end to the devastating loss of civilian life in Gaza and for U.S. policy to prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and lasting peace. He has been among the most outspoken members of Congress demanding that the United States use its leverage to stop the killing and pursue a just resolution to the conflict.

Ro is also demonstrating that no one is above the law.

He helped lead the successful push for greater transparency surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case through the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, arguing that the American people deserve the truth and that powerful individuals must be held accountable. His work forced the release of thousands of previously sealed records and challenged the culture of secrecy that has protected elites for too long.

Whether he’s fighting corporate monopolies, standing up for workers, expanding healthcare, or defending our democracy, Ro Khanna has consistently shown what principled progressive leadership looks like.

At a time when too many politicians are willing to compromise with corporate interests or remain silent in the face of injustice, Ro continues to lead with courage, integrity, and a commitment to the people-powered movement that elected him.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to Congress.

Together, we can continue building a Congress that fights for working people, challenges corporate power, protects our democracy, and delivers the bold progressive change this moment demands.

When we organize, we win.

Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin

By ALL, Endorsement, WI

Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Francesca Hong for Governor of Wisconsin.

Francesca Hong has spent her life fighting for working people. The daughter of immigrants, a chef, small business owner, community organizer, and mom, she understands firsthand the challenges facing families who work hard every day and still struggle to get ahead. 

Her journey from the service industry to the Wisconsin State Legislature reflects the values that have guided her public service: dignity, opportunity, and a belief that government should work for everyone.

Francesca has made clear that Wisconsin’s future should not be dictated by corporate interests or wealthy insiders. She is running a grassroots campaign powered by people, not corporate PACs, and is building a movement that brings together workers, families, and communities across the state.

She continues to center the needs of working families and advocate for policies that help people thrive rather than merely survive. That’s why Francesca is committed to the fight for Medicare for All, free school meals, universal childcare, higher wages and paid leave, tenant rights, and closing tax loopholes for billionaires and big corporations. 

At a time when too many politicians are beholden to wealthy donors, Francesca is demonstrating what genuine grassroots leadership looks like. She understands that real change comes from organizing people, building community, and giving ordinary Wisconsinites a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their lives.

Wisconsin deserves a governor who will put working people first, challenge entrenched power, and govern with courage and conviction.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Francesca and the thousands of grassroots supporters across Wisconsin who are fighting for a more just, democratic, and equitable future.

When we organize, we win.

Evan Menist for New York Senate District 39

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Evan Menist for New York State Senate

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Evan Menist for New York State Senate in District 39.

Evan is running because he believes our political and economic systems are too often shaped by billionaires and corporate special interests instead of working people and families. His campaign is focused on putting power back in the hands of everyday people and building a Hudson Valley where everyone has a fair chance to thrive.

What stands out about Evan is that he brings together experience in local government, public policy, and community leadership with a clear commitment to economic justice.

A longtime resident of Poughkeepsie, Evan worked his way through school while holding multiple jobs, including as an IT technician, bartender, barback, and security staff member. He later earned a Master of Public Administration while continuing to work full-time.

Evan currently serves on the Poughkeepsie Common Council, where he has fought for tenant protections, housing affordability, tax relief for seniors, government accountability, and sustainable development. He has also worked as a policy researcher and urban planner, helping communities across the Hudson Valley address housing, infrastructure, and economic development challenges.

Today, Evan serves as Co-Executive Director of the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding families, educating youth, and building a more resilient regional food system.

His campaign is centered on a bold vision for the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Evan supports universal healthcare through the New York Health Act, universal childcare, and community housing. He argues that these policies can reduce structural inequities, strengthen working families, and ensure that everyone—regardless of background—has the opportunity to succeed.

He is also a strong advocate for worker and union power. Coming from a union family and relying on union healthcare through his wife, Evan has pledged to use the visibility of elected office to support union organizing drives, contract campaigns, and strikes.

At a moment when too many New Yorkers are struggling with housing costs, healthcare expenses, and economic insecurity, Evan is focused on building a government that works for regular people—not wealthy interests.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support Evan Menist for State Senate.

When we organize, we win.

Adam Bojak for NY State Assembly (AD-149)

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Adam Bojak for NY State Assembly (AD-149)

 

Our Revolution is proud to join Bernie Sanders in endorsing Adam Bojak for NY State Assembly in District 149, who’s running on a bold vision for a healthier, housed, and more affordable Western New York.

Adam has represented everyday New Yorkers as a Family Court and housing rights attorney — helping tenants facing housing disputes, providing free legal services and advice to people dealing with housing problems, and working with families navigating tough challenges.

Now, Adam is bringing that experience to the fight for systemic change.

Adam believes Albany should do more to stand up to corporate greed and ensure that every New Yorker can live a stable and dignified life.

His campaign is built around a simple idea: when our needs are met and the rich pay their fair share, we can build stronger communities for generations to come.

That means fighting for affordable housing and publicly owned social housing. It means protecting tenants, preventing unjust evictions, and stopping vulnerable homeowners from losing their homes to property tax foreclosures. As a housing rights attorney, Adam has seen these challenges firsthand—and he’s running to do something about them.

Adam is also a champion for universal healthcare. He supports the New York Health Act and believes every New Yorker should have healthcare free at the point of service. He is committed to protecting Medicaid, defending reproductive rights, and ensuring access to gender-affirming care.

On labor, Adam recognizes that workers and unions are the backbone of our economy. He’s fighting to strengthen worker protections and address the growing threat of workplace surveillance and unchecked AI systems that can be used against workers.

He also supports investments in public infrastructure, strong public schools, and public services that improve people’s lives—not policies that prioritize corporate profits over community needs.

That’s why Adam Bojak has earned the support of Our Revolution, Bernie Sanders, organized labor, and grassroots progressives across New York.

Western New York deserves a representative who will fight for working people, challenge corporate power, and help build a healthy, housed, and affordable future for all.

When we organize, we win.

Patrick Nelson for NY State Senate (SD-44)

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Patrick Nelson for NY State Senate (SD-44)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Patrick Nelson for New York State Senate in District 44.

Patrick represents exactly the kind of bold, independent leadership our movement needs more of in Albany.

A two-term Village Trustee in Stillwater, Patrick has repeatedly won elections in a community that votes more than 60% Republican. He has done it by focusing on the issues that matter most to working people and by proving that progressive values can win anywhere when candidates are willing to fight for them.

Just as importantly, Patrick has never accepted contributions from corporations, corporate PACs, or lobbyists. Patrick is campaigning for a simple principle: our government should answer to people, not powerful donors. That’s why he supports banning corporate contributions in New York elections.

Patrick is sounding the alarm about the unchecked power of Big Tech and artificial intelligence. While corporations race to build massive energy-hungry data centers across the country, Patrick is calling for a three-year statewide moratorium on new data center projects so communities can fully understand their impacts on energy costs, infrastructure, the environment, and local democracy before it’s too late.

He also supports a New York Constitutional Right to Talk to a Human Being, ensuring people aren’t trapped navigating automated systems when seeking critical services. He believes life-altering decisions—from healthcare to housing to public services—should be made by people, not algorithms.

Patrick is fighting to make New York more affordable. From universal healthcare at the state level to his Affordable Housing Communities proposal would provide incentives for local governments to build lower-cost rental housing and homeownership opportunities, he has real plans to improve life for working families.

In an era when too many politicians are content to manage problems, Patrick Nelson is offering real solutions. He is taking on corporate influence, defending democratic accountability, fighting for affordable housing, and ensuring technology serves the public interest—not the other way around.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Patrick Nelson for New York State Senate District 44.

When we organize, we win.

Jon Rivera for NY State Senate (SD-61)

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jon Rivera for New York State Senate District 61.

Jon is a lifelong Western New Yorker and State Assemblymember who has built a record of delivering results. His campaign is grounded in a simple promise: leadership that shows up for workers, families, and neighborhoods — not just when it is politically convenient, but every day.

Jon has already proven what people-first leadership looks like. In the Assembly, he has championed housing protections, refugee resettlement, education investment, lead poisoning prevention, and community development. He has secured major investments in housing, youth programs, public schools, libraries, local infrastructure, cultural institutions, and community spaces that families can see and feel.

That is exactly the kind of progressive leadership Western New York needs in the State Senate.

Jon is running to deliver living wages, affordable child care, good jobs, stronger schools, and more affordable homes. And he understands that protecting the environment is a public health issue — from reducing lead exposure to cleaning up contaminated sites and supporting sustainable development.

At a time when MAGA extremism is threatening our rights, freedoms, and democracy, Jon is clear about what is at stake. Western New Yorkers deserve a senator who will defend democracy, reject extremism, and fight for what is right.

Our Revolution was founded to build progressive power from the ground up — in city halls, school boards, state legislatures, and Congress. Electing Jon Rivera to the New York State Senate would strengthen that movement and send a proven fighter for working families to Albany.

Jon has delivered before. Now, he is ready to keep fighting for every corner of the 61st District.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Jon Rivera for New York State Senate.

Election Day: New York’s primary election is Tuesday, June 23, 2026. Polls are open from 6 AM to 9 PM, and early voting runs June 13–21.

Aparna Raj for DC Council, Ward 1

By ALL, DC, Endorsement

Aparna Raj for DC Council, Ward 1

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aparna Raj for DC Council in Ward 1.

Aparna is a community organizer, union member, tenant advocate, and the daughter of immigrants who has spent years fighting alongside working people in Washington, DC. Her campaign is grounded in a simple belief: government should work for ordinary people — not wealthy insiders, corporate developers, or special interests. She understands the challenges facing working families because she’s been organizing around them for years.

As a tenant organizer, Aparna has helped residents take on negligent landlords, fight unsafe housing conditions, and win real improvements for tenants. She has advocated for stronger tenant protections and served on the ANC 1A Housing Justice and Zoning Committee, working to ensure housing policy serves residents instead of developer profits.

As a union member, she served on her bargaining committee to win better pay and benefits for workers. She has fought to raise the tipped minimum wage and stood with workers organizing for dignity and economic justice across the city.

Those experiences have shaped a bold vision for Ward 1 and for Washington, DC.

Aparna is campaigning to expand affordable housing and strengthen rent control protections so that working families, seniors, and longtime residents can remain in the communities they helped build. She supports expanding childcare access and moving toward universal free childcare so that no family is forced to choose between financial stability and caring for their children. She is committed to defending immigrants, federal workers, LGBTQ+ communities, and DC’s right to self-government against attacks from right-wing politicians and powerful interests.

At a moment when working people are being priced out of their neighborhoods and corporate influence too often dominates politics, Aparna represents the kind of leadership our movement needs.

Her campaign is powered by grassroots supporters, not corporate donors. She understands that meaningful change comes from organized people coming together to fight for their communities. That’s the same principle Our Revolution was founded on when millions of Bernie supporters came together to build a political home for the progressive movement.

We don’t just need better policies. We need leaders who will organize with their communities, challenge entrenched power, and build lasting change from the ground up.

That’s why electing progressives to city councils, school boards, state legislatures, and local offices is so important. These are the leaders who shape people’s daily lives and who form the foundation of a stronger progressive movement nationwide. Building power locally is how we win nationally.

Aparna Raj is exactly the kind of movement leader Our Revolution was created to support.

She has spent years fighting for tenants, workers, immigrants, and families. She’s running a people-powered campaign rooted in community organizing and economic justice. And she’s ready to bring that same commitment to Ward 1 on the DC Council.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aparna Raj for DC Council.

Join us in supporting her campaign and helping build a government that puts people before profits.

Sam Forstag for Congress (MT-01)

By ALL, Endorsement, MT

Sam Forstag for Congress (MT-01)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Sam Forstag for Congress in Montana’s 1st Congressional District.

At a time when working people are being crushed by rising housing costs, unaffordable healthcare, scarce childcare, and a political system dominated by corporate money, Sam Forstag is bringing something desperately needed to Congress: real working-class representation.

Sam isn’t a millionaire politician or corporate insider. He’s a smokejumper, union leader, and organizer who understands firsthand what it means to work hard and still struggle to get by. Raised largely by a single mother who worked extra nursing shifts to pay the bills, Sam spent much of his own life juggling multiple jobs while fighting for better healthcare, public education, civil liberties, and economic justice for working Montanans. 

After eight years as a wildland firefighter — including years parachuting into remote areas as a smokejumper — Sam became a union leader fighting for federal workers and public lands. As Vice President of NFFE Local 60, he organized Forest Service workers, stood up against attacks on public servants, and spoke out against the growing power of oligarchs and corporations over working people’s lives. 

Now, he’s taking that fight to Washington.

Sam’s campaign is centered on a simple but powerful belief: if you work full-time in America, you should be able to afford housing, healthcare, and childcare.

That means investing in affordable housing through community land trusts, deed-restricted housing, and partnerships that keep homes affordable for Montanans — while cracking down on hedge funds and corporate investors buying up housing and pricing families out of their communities.

It means fighting for universal healthcare by allowing every American to buy into Medicare, expanding ACA subsidies, and ensuring healthcare includes vision and dental coverage.

It means making universal childcare and pre-K a reality so working families can afford to stay and raise children in Montana.

And Sam knows exactly how to pay for it: by making the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations finally pay their fair share through higher taxes on millionaires, closing loopholes for capital gains, and restoring the corporate tax rate.

Just as importantly, Sam understands that none of these fights can be won while corporate money dominates our political system. He supports overturning Citizens United, banning corporate spending in elections, banning congressional stock trading, and closing the revolving door between Congress and corporate lobbying.

This race is one of the most important congressional contests in the country. Montana’s First Congressional District MT-01 is considered one of the key districts that could determine control of the House of Representatives. But this campaign is about more than flipping a seat — it’s about transforming who government works for.

For too long, working-class people have been shut out of political power while wealthy donors and corporations dictate the agenda in Washington. Sam Forstag represents a new generation of leaders rooted in labor, organizing, and community — leaders who know that government should improve people’s lives, not enrich billionaires.

As Sam says, “It’s become too damn hard for most Montanans to afford basic things like housing, healthcare, childcare, and even groceries.” 

Our Revolution believes Montana deserves a representative who will fight unapologetically for working people — not corporate donors and political insiders.

That’s why we’re proud to endorse Sam Forstag for Congress in MT-01. ✊

Justin J. Pearson for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th District

By ALL, Endorsement, TN

Justin J. Pearson for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th District

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress in Tennessee’s 9th District — a bold fighter for racial justice on the frontlines of the struggle for democracy and working people in the South.

Before entering elected office, Pearson organized his neighbors to stop the toxic Byhalia Pipeline from being built through a Black working-class community in Southwest Memphis — a major grassroots victory against environmental racism and corporate pollution.

Then, after leading protests demanding gun reform following a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee Republicans expelled him from the State House for standing up to the NRA and refusing to stay silent.

Voters sent him right back.

That spirit of organizing and resistance defines Justin Pearson’s campaign for Congress.

And now he’s taking on an even bigger fight.

Following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Voting Rights Act, Tennessee Republicans rushed through a gerrymandering plan to redistrict the state’s majority-Black congressional district, which had been based in Memphis. Pearson has emerged as one of the loudest voices fighting back — both politically and legally — while organizing directly within his community.

Pearson had already been hard at work building a serious grassroots challenge against longtime incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen, an AIPAC-backed Democrat who consistently sided with corporate interests and supported blank checks for war abroad. Before Republicans redrew the district, Pearson’s insurgent campaign had gained major momentum and exposed growing hunger for a new kind of leadership in Memphis.

Now the race has shifted again, with Cohen dropping out and MAGA Republicans State Senator Brent Taylor and State Representative Todd Warner jumping in. But Pearson knows the path forward is organizing — especially among Black voters, young people, and working-class communities – to spread his message throughout this new 200-mile district that sprawls from the southwest corner of the state, all the way to the Nashville suburbs.

 

And his campaign is centered on exactly the issues working people are demanding action on:

  • Affordability
  • Gun reform
  • Environmental racism
  • Protecting democracy
  • Expanding opportunity

Pearson has also become a leading voice challenging Elon Musk’s xAI data center project in his district and warning about the intersection of corporate greed, environmental injustice, and political corruption.

At a moment when too many Democrats play it safe, Justin Pearson represents something different: movement politics rooted in courage, grassroots organizing, and a willingness to directly confront entrenched power.

This campaign is about proving that bold progressive leadership can compete — and win — even in the face of voter suppression, corporate money, and MAGA extremism.

Justin Pearson has already shown he’s willing to stand up when it matters most.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win. ✊
