MD House & Senate Endorsements

By ALL, Endorsement, MD

People-Powered Slate in Maryland

Real change doesn’t just happen in Washington — it’s built from the ground up.

From state legislatures to county councils to school boards, down-ballot races shape the policies that impact our daily lives: housing, education, workers’ rights, public safety, and economic justice.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse a powerful slate of candidates across Maryland — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working families, and deliver real results in their communities.

Building Power at the Local Level

Our Revolution is also proud to support candidates stepping up in critical local races across Maryland:

  • Victor Ramirez — Prince George’s County Council (D2)
  • Imara Crooms — Prince George’s County Council (D9)
  • Jamie McGonnigal — Prince George’s County Board of Education (D3)

These leaders are working to strengthen public services, expand opportunity, and ensure local government is responsive to the communities it serves.

Why Down-Ballot Races Matter

In a state like Maryland, where Democrats dominate, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future.

Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?

These down-ballot races are where we build the foundation for real progress — from passing stronger labor protections to investing in public education and holding powerful interests accountable.

Maryland has the opportunity to lead — but only if we elect leaders who will fight for working people at every level.

When we organize, we win.

Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in NY-13

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in NY-13

The working people in Harlem and the Bronx deserve bold, unapologetic leadership.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in New York’s 13th District.

Darializa isn’t a career politician — she’s a movement organizer.

A working-class Afro-Latina, member of the United Auto Workers, and public defense investigator in Harlem, Darializa is grounded in grassroots organizing and committed to taking on corporate power.

From organizing against ICE to supporting working-class New Yorkers through mutual aid, her work has always centered on dignity, justice, and solidarity. She’s running on a bold, people-first agenda that includes:

  • Housing for all and major investments in public housing
  • Economic justice and support for working families
  • Immigrant rights and an end to inhumane detention and deportation policies
  • Ending endless war and redirecting resources toward communities at home
  • Greater worker ownership and community investment

Darializa has also been a leading voice in the movement for Palestinian human rights, connecting the fight against militarism abroad with the fight for justice and investment at home. 

In NY-13, Darializa is challenging a long-entrenched incumbent backed by powerful special interests — including real estate and corporate-aligned donors. 

This race is about more than one seat. It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue to be shaped by insiders and big money — or by grassroots movements fighting for working people.

Darializa is part of a growing wave of insurgent, people-powered candidates stepping up to challenge the status quo — just like we saw with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this very region.

When we organize, we win!

Alex Bores for Congress in NY-12

At a moment when New Yorkers are being squeezed by sky-high rents, rising costs, and a political system that too often protects the powerful, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Alex Bores for Congress in New York’s 12th District.

Alex represents a new generation of leadership — one ready to take on corporate power and deliver real change.

A New Voice for NY-12

Alex has built his career at the intersection of technology, public policy, and economic fairness — focused on making government work better for everyday people.

He’s fighting for:

  • Affordable housing in one of the most expensive districts in the country
  • Taking on monopolies and corporate concentration
  • Expanding healthcare access
  • Strengthening democracy and accountability
  • Ensuring innovation serves the public — not just private profit

A Clear Alternative

This race is a real choice about the future of NY-12.

Alex is stepping up to challenge politics as usual — offering leadership focused on solving real problems, not maintaining a broken status quo.

He understands that inequality and political dysfunction are the result of decisions made by those in power — and he’s running to change that.

Building Power for Working People

Our Revolution believes we need leaders willing to stand up to corporate influence and fight for working people.

Alex Bores is part of that fight — and we’re proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win.

By ALL, Endorsement, UT

Nate Blouin for Congress in UT-01

At a time when working people are being squeezed by rising costs and political gridlock, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nate Blouin for Congress in Utah’s 1st District.

Nate represents a new generation of leadership — one rooted in service, accountability, and a commitment to building a government that works for everyday people.

A Leader Grounded in Service and Public Good

Nate Blouin is a public servant and climate policy advocate who has spent his career working to make government more responsive and effective.

He currently represents Utah’s 13th State Senate District, fighting to protect public health, address issues caused by pollution, and advance practical climate solutions. His leadership reflects a belief that government should play a proactive role in improving people’s lives — not stepping back while corporate interests dominate.

A Progressive Vision

Nate is running on a platform that speaks directly to the challenges facing working families in Utah and across the country:

  • Lowering the cost of living, including housing and healthcare
  • Investing in clean energy and environmental protection
  • Defending public lands and natural resources
  • Strengthening democratic institutions and accountability
  • Economic support and opportunity for working families 

While Utah’s political landscape presents unique challenges, Nate has shown a willingness to bring people together while staying grounded in core values of fairness, sustainability, and economic security.

Building Power Where It Matters

Electing progressives in places like Utah is critical to expanding the map and building long-term power for working people.

Nate Blouin is stepping up and offering a clear alternative to politics that puts corporations and special interests first. 

His campaign is about showing that voters are ready for leaders who prioritize affordability, accountability, and a better future.

When we organize, we win.

Everton Blair for Congress in GA-13

By ALL, Endorsement, GA

Everton Blair for Congress in GA-13

This is a pivotal moment for Georgia’s 13th District, anc Our Revolution is proud to endorse Everton Blair for Congress in Georgia’s 13th District.

For decades, this district has been represented by the status quo. Now, voters have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to elect a new kind of leader — one rooted in the community and committed to bold, people-first change.

Everton Blair is that leader.

A Lifelong Educator and Community Leader

Born and raised in Gwinnett County, the son of Jamaican immigrants, Everton Blair is a proud product of Georgia public schools. After graduating from Harvard and Stanford, he returned home to teach math in the same district that raised him.

He went on to serve on the Gwinnett County School Board, where he was unanimously elected Board Chair — making history while delivering real results. Under his leadership, the district:

  • Raised pay for teachers, bus drivers, and school staff
  • Expanded student services and community engagement
  • Led a strong, science-based response to COVID-19
  • Helped build a more representative and inclusive school board

Everton has always believed that strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities — and his record proves it.

A Bold Progressive Agenda for Working Families

Everton Blair is running on the core priorities of the progressive movement:

“Government should work for the people, not for billionaires and corporations. That means fully-

funded public schools, safe road, quality climate-resilient infrastructure, affordable healthcare and housing,” he said. “That requires electing progressive leaders to Congress who will choose to invest in people over profit. We have a chance to do that right here in GA-13.”

  • Medicare for All — because healthcare is a human right
  • Good-paying jobs and a living wage — so every worker can thrive
  • Fully funded public schools — investing in the next generation
  • Affordable housing — cracking down on corporate landlords and predatory investors
  • Affordable childcare and strong public services
  • Getting big money out of politics

He is also a strong advocate for:

  • Workers’ rights and unions, including passing the PRO Act
  • Criminal justice reform that prioritizes fairness and rehabilitation
  • Climate action, ensuring clean air, water, and sustainable infrastructure
  • Expanding public transit to connect communities to opportunity

Everton understands that government must work for people — not corporations.

Taking on the Status Quo

This race is about more than one seat.

It’s about whether GA-13 will continue with politics as usual — or move forward with leadership that puts people over profit.

Everton is the only candidate in this race running on a bold, unapologetic progressive platform — and he’s doing it without bending to corporate interests.

He’s also committed to building the movement — working with grassroots organizations like Our Revolution to expand people-powered organizing and hold leaders accountable.

A Vision for Georgia’s Future

From the housing crisis to healthcare costs to economic inequality, Everton Blair is focused on delivering real solutions for working families.

He knows that too many communities — especially Black suburban communities — have been left behind by failed infrastructure and economic policy.

He’s fighting to change that:

  • Expanding transit and infrastructure investment
  • Connecting people to jobs and opportunity
  • Building an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy

This is leadership rooted in equity, justice, and real-world experience.

Now Is Our Time

Our Revolution believes that real change comes from grassroots power — and from electing leaders who will fight for it.

Everton Blair is ready to bring that fight to Congress.

We’re proud to stand with him.

Rep. Ruwa Romman for Georgia State Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, GA

Rep. Ruwa Romman for Georgia State Senate

Georgia’s working families are being squeezed by corporate landlords, poverty wages, and politicians who refuse to act.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Representative Ruwa Romman for State Senate — a fearless progressive taking on corporate power and fighting for real solutions like a $15 minimum wage, healthcare access, and housing justice.

A Proven Progressive Fighter

Ruwa currently serves in the Georgia House representing District 97, where she has been a consistent voice for working people, public investment, and justice.

She made history as the first Muslim woman elected to the Georgia State House and the first Palestinian elected to public office in the state — but her leadership goes far beyond firsts.

For more than a decade, Ruwa has been organizing in Georgia — building coalitions, empowering communities, and fighting for a government that serves people, not corporations.

A Bold Agenda for Georgia Families

Ruwa Romman is running on a clear, unapologetic progressive platform that speaks directly to the challenges Georgians are facing:

  • Raise the minimum wage — Georgia’s $5.15 wage is unacceptable; it’s time for at least $15/hour
  • Take homes back from corporate landlords — closing tax loopholes and cracking down on predatory investors
  • Expand healthcare access — reopening hospitals and ensuring care for all
  • Feed hungry kids — investing so no child goes without food
  • Press pause on harmful data center expansion that strains communities without delivering real benefits

She also understands that real safety comes from investment — not punishment.

While the Republican majority continues to fund private prisons, Ruwa is fighting to:

  • End funding for private prisons
  • Invest in diversion and community-based safety
  • Close loopholes that allow forced prison labor

Investing in Public Good

Ruwa believes government should be a force for good — delivering for people, not corporations.

That means:

  • Fully funding public education, raising teacher pay, and reducing class sizes
  • Protecting workers’ rights, including the right to organize
  • Expanding public services that meet real community needs

She has also shown real courage — including being the only state-level official in 2023 to oppose Cop City.

Building Progressive Power in Georgia

This race is about more than one seat.

Winning will:

  • Strengthen Georgia’s growing Progressive Caucus
  • Help block harmful, corporate-backed legislation
  • Build on a powerful grassroots movement organizing across the state

Ruwa’s recent statewide campaign mobilized thousands — and now she’s bringing that energy to a race where it can deliver immediate results.

Now Is the Moment

Georgia is at a crossroads.

We can continue down a path shaped by corporate greed — or elect leaders who will fight for working families and invest in our future.

Ruwa Romman is that leader — and we’re proud to stand with her.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Claire Valdez for Congress in NY-07

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Claire Valdez for Congress in NY-07

At a time when working people are demanding more than empty promises, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Claire Valdez for Congress in New York’s 7th District.

Claire Valdez isn’t a career politician — she’s a union organizer, worker, and democratic socialist who has spent her life fighting for working people to have power.

A Worker and Organizer First

Claire’s story is rooted in the struggles so many New Yorkers face. She worked low-wage customer service jobs through high school and college, and later as a worker at Columbia University, where she joined UAW Local 2110, helped lead organizing efforts, and fought for a fair contract.

She didn’t just join a union — she helped transform it, organizing alongside her coworkers to democratize their workplace and win better conditions.

She also became a leader in the movement — organizing with NYC-DSA and helping build the kind of grassroots power that fuels real political change.

Today, she brings that same commitment to her role as a New York State Assemblymember, where she has already begun delivering for workers.

A Bold, Unapologetic Agenda

Claire Valdez is running on a clear, movement-driven platform:

  • Unions for all — expanding labor rights so every worker can organize
  • Housing for all — advancing social housing and taking on the housing crisis
  • Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right

In Albany, she has already:

  • Introduced legislation with UAW to expand unemployment insurance and paid leave for adjunct workers
  • Fought to strengthen protections for vulnerable workers
  • Been a vocal advocate for social housing solutions

And she’s shown real courage — even risking arrest to support NY for All, standing with immigrant communities and fighting to end collaboration between local law enforcement and ICE.

Taking on the System

Claire understands that the crises facing working people — from housing costs to healthcare to labor rights — are not accidents. They are the result of a system that prioritizes profit over people.

She’s running to change that.

Her campaign is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: workers deserve full, dignified lives — with time for family, security in retirement, and freedom from economic precarity.

That means:

  • Strong unions
  • Affordable housing
  • Universal healthcare
  • A government that represents working people — not corporations

Building a Movement

This race is about more than one seat.

It’s about proving that a campaign rooted in worker solidarity and unapologetic progressive values can win — and expand the political imagination of what’s possible.

From defending immigrant communities to fighting for a more humane foreign policy, Claire is part of a growing movement ready to challenge the status quo and build something better.

Now Is the Moment

Our Revolution believes real change comes from organized people — not big money.

Claire Valdez represents that movement.

We’re proud to stand with her as she fights to bring working-class power to Congress.

When we organize, we win. ✊

CA HOUSE & SENATE

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Bold Progressive Slate for California’s Future

California has long been seen as a laboratory for progressive change — but whether that promise is realized depends on who we elect at every level of government.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support a powerful slate of candidates for the California State Assembly and Senate — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working people, and deliver real results.

Sean Frame — State Senate District 6

Sean Frame is stepping up with a grassroots, people-powered campaign focused on affordability, accountability, and building a government that works for everyday Californians. His campaign reflects the growing demand for new leadership that isn’t tied to corporate interests.

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair — Assembly District 65

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a community organizer and advocate who has built her campaign around economic justice, healthcare access, and uplifting working-class communities. She represents a new generation of leadership rooted in service, equity, and grassroots organizing.

Jackie Elward — Assembly District 12

Jackie Elward brings a community-first approach to her campaign, focused on transparency, accountability, and ensuring that public institutions serve people — not powerful insiders. She is part of a wave of candidates pushing for more responsive and equitable governance.

Chris Kluwe — Assembly District 72

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player turned outspoken activist, has been a vocal advocate for civil liberties, LGBTQ+ rights, and free speech. He has consistently used his platform to challenge injustice and is running to bring that same courage and independence to Sacramento.

Liz Ortega — Assembly District 20

Liz Ortega is a labor leader and longtime advocate for workers’ rights. As a union leader, she has fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and economic justice — and she’s bringing that fight to the legislature.

Alex Lee — Assembly District 24

Alex Lee has already proven himself as one of the most outspoken progressive voices in the California Legislature. A democratic socialist and Medicare for All champion, he has led on housing justice, student debt relief, and expanding the social safety net.

Ash Kalra — Assembly District 25

Ash Kalra is a national leader in the fight for single-payer healthcare, authoring California’s Medicare for All legislation. A civil rights attorney and longtime progressive champion, he has consistently taken on corporate interests and fought for workers, immigrants, and marginalized communities.

Building Power Down the Ballot

Real change doesn’t just happen in Congress — it starts in our communities.

That’s why we’re proud to endorse a powerful slate of local leaders in California who are stepping up to fight for working people:

  • Maria Pacheco (Fresno County Supervisor D1) – community advocate focused on equity, public safety reform, and investing in underserved neighborhoods
  • Neil Polzin (Covina City Treasurer) – bringing transparency, fiscal accountability, and responsible stewardship of public funds
  • Flo Cofer (Sacramento County Supervisor D1) – community leader and public safety advocate working to build safer, more equitable communities
  • Jocelyn Sida (Fontana Mayor) – grassroots leader focused on working families, economic opportunity, and responsive local government
  • Tamisha Torres Walker (Antioch City Council D1) – violence prevention leader and equity advocate centering youth, safety, and community investment
  • Monica Wilson (Antioch City Council D2) – educator and public servant committed to transparency, accountability, and community-first leadership

From city halls to county councils, these races shape our daily lives — and build the foundation for bigger progressive wins. ✊

And, we’re backing several amazing candidates for local school boards and state boards  — because these seats shape our children’s education, our tax system, and our communities.

  • Brandee Marckmann (SF Board of Education) — educator and founder of the SF Education Alliance, fighting privatization and supporting public schools
  • Samuel Sukaton (Board of Equalization, D1) — a progressive tax advocate working to make corporations pay their share
  • Cody Petterson (Board of Equalization, D4) — focused on transparency and accountability in shaping fair tax policy
  • Shant Kevorkian (Glendale USD Board) — a community leader and parent advocate working to strengthen public schools
  • Nichelle Henderson (Superintendent of Public Instruction) — longtime public education advocate focused on equity, student outcomes, supporting educators

Let’s elect leaders who will put people first. ✊

Why These Races Matter

In a blue state like California, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future of the Democratic Party.

Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?

Down-ballot races are where real power is built. They determine whether we can pass policies that make healthcare a human right, tackle the housing crisis, strengthen labor protections, and take on climate change at the scale required.

California can lead the nation — but only if we elect the strongest progressives possible.

These candidates represent the future of that fight.

When we organize, we win.
