Bold Progressive Slate in Colorado

In addition to endorsing David Seligman for Colorado Attorney General, Our Revolution is proud to back a slate of bold, people-powered candidates who are ready to deliver real change at the state and federal level.

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate is a proven progressive champion with a track record of fighting for working people. In the Colorado State Senate, she has led on immigrant protections, reproductive rights, and criminal justice reform — including helping to repeal the death penalty. Julie is a strong advocate for Medicare for All, worker rights, and building an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.

Melat Kiros for Congress (CO-01) is running a grassroots, anti-corporate campaign to bring new leadership to Washington. A democratic socialist and organizer, she is unapologetically fighting for Medicare for All, housing justice, immigrant rights, and an end to corporate influence in politics. Melat represents a new generation of leaders ready to challenge the status quo and put working people first.

And at the state level, Kenny Van Nguyen for House District 33 is stepping up to bring fresh, community-rooted leadership to Colorado. The son of Vietnamese refugees and a first-generation college graduate, Kenny has dedicated his career to public service. He is committed to expanding opportunity, strengthening communities, and ensuring that Colorado’s leadership reflects the diversity and values of its people.

Together, these candidates represent the future of the progressive movement in Colorado — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for economic justice, and build a government that truly serves the people.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with this slate of leaders. When we organize, we win.

In the State House, we’re proud to support Ce Gerlach (HD-22), Brittany Bloam (HD-45), and Ismail Smith-Wade-El (HD-49) — leaders committed to expanding opportunity, strengthening communities, and building an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.

In addition to supporting Sen. Jeff Merkley’s re-election campaign, Our Revolution is proud to endorse a slate of bold progressives running for State House seats across Oregon — leaders ready to take on corporate power and deliver for working families.

Jeff Merkley for re-election U.S. Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, OR

Jeff Merkley for re-election U.S. Senate

At a moment of deep crisis for our democracy and our country, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Senator Jeff Merkley for reelection to the United States Senate (Oregon).

It’s a recognition of something rare in Washington: a leader who not only shares our values, but has stood with our movement when it matters most — especially when it’s hardest.

A Clear Voice Against Endless War

As the threat of a wider conflict escalates, Merkley has been one of the strongest voices in Congress opposing an unauthorized and dangerous war with Iran.

On April 6th, speaking with grassroots organizers across the country on Our Revolution’s Organize to Win call, Merkley made clear what’s at stake:

“This war is reckless, unlawful, and already hitting Americans here at home.” 

That’s not political hedging — it’s moral clarity.

While too many in Washington fall in line or stay silent, Merkley has consistently challenged the march toward war, reminding us that Congress — not the president — has the authority to decide matters of war and peace. He has warned that this path is not only unconstitutional, but dangerous for working families already struggling with rising costs tied to global instability. 

At a time when the political establishment too often enables endless war, Jeff Merkley has chosen courage.

Defending Democracy and Voting Rights

Merkley has also been a steadfast champion for democracy itself — pushing back against attacks on voting rights and efforts to rig the system against working people.

On that same call, he spoke to the urgency of protecting the ballot:

“We have to defend every American’s right to vote and reject efforts like the SAVE Act that put up barriers instead of expanding democracy.”

That’s been the throughline of his career: expand democracy, don’t restrict it.

From fighting voter suppression to backing reforms that get big money out of politics, Merkley understands that political power should belong to the people — not billionaires or corporate interests.

A Proven Champion

Jeff Merkley’s record reflects the values our movement was built on:

  • Championing Medicare for All and lowering prescription drug costs 
  • Leading the fight for bold climate action and a Green New Deal 
  • Standing up to Wall Street and corporate monopolies 
  • Advocating for student debt relief and affordable education 
  • Opposing endless wars and unchecked executive power 

And importantly, he hasn’t wavered when the pressure mounts.

Time and again, Merkley has taken the harder path — whether that’s opposing bad trade deals, challenging corporate influence, or standing up to leadership when they fall short.

Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District

By ALL, Endorsement, PA

Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District

Our Revolution is proud to join Bernie Sanders in endorsing Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District — a working-class fighter who has spent his life serving his community and is ready to take that fight to Washington.

Bob Brooks isn’t a career politician. He’s a 20-year firefighter from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who has put his life on the line to protect his neighbors. That experience matters. It means he understands — firsthand — the challenges working families face, from rising costs to underfunded public services to the need for good-paying union jobs.

Brooks is running to unseat a Republican incumbent and bring real representation to PA-07 — not for corporations or the wealthy few, but for the people who keep our communities running every day.

His campaign is rooted in the values that define our movement: economic justice, strong public services, and a government that works for working people. Like so many in the progressive movement, Brooks knows that the system is rigged in favor of big corporations and billionaires — and he’s ready to challenge that status quo.

That’s why leaders like Bernie Sanders have stepped up to support his campaign — recognizing that Bob represents the kind of authentic, working-class leadership our country needs more of.

At a time when working families are struggling with rising costs, stagnant wages, and a political system dominated by corporate interests, we need candidates who will stand up and fight — not just talk.

Bob Brooks is that kind of candidate.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with him and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can flip this seat, strengthen the progressive movement in Congress, and build a government that truly serves the many, not the few.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District

By ALL, Endorsement, OH

Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District — a union ironworker, organizer, and public servant who knows what it means to fight for working people because he’s lived it.

Brian Poindexter isn’t a career politician. He’s been a proud union ironworker since 2007, working his way through an apprenticeship while earning a degree from Cuyahoga Community College. That experience — building things with his hands, working on job sites, and earning every step forward — is exactly the kind of working-class perspective that’s missing in Washington.

After graduating, Brian became a union organizer, helping workers who were struggling without representation gain the power and protections of a union. He later returned to the field, leading major infrastructure and construction projects across Northeast Ohio — from Playhouse Square developments to critical work at NASA Glenn Research Center. Today, he continues to give back as an apprenticeship instructor with Ironworkers Local 17, training the next generation of skilled workers.

Brian has also stepped up to serve his community in public office. Since 2017, he has been an At-Large member of Brook Park City Council, where he has consistently stood with working families. He’s opposed “Right to Work” laws, fought against school voucher schemes that undermine public education, and supported strong public institutions like the postal service and local schools.

That record matters.

At a time when corporate interests and anti-worker politicians are attacking unions, gutting public services, and rigging the economy in favor of the wealthy, Brian Poindexter represents a different kind of leadership — one rooted in solidarity, fairness, and real economic justice.

Now, Brian is running to unseat Republican incumbent Max Miller and bring that same commitment to Congress. He understands that working families in Ohio are being squeezed by rising costs, stagnant wages, and a political system that too often puts corporate profits over people.

Brian is running to change that — to fight for good-paying union jobs, strong public schools, and an economy that works for working people, not the wealthy few.

This is exactly the kind of candidate Our Revolution was built to support: someone who has organized, worked, and fought alongside their community — and who will carry that fight to Washington.

Brian Poindexter is the real deal.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with him and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can elect a working-class champion to Congress and continue building a political revolution that puts people over profit.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Chris Rabb for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District

By ALL, Endorsement, PA

Our Revolution is proud to endorse State Representative Chris Rabb for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District — a bold, anti-establishment progressive with a proven record of fighting for working people and taking on corporate power.

For the past eight years, Chris has represented a majority-Black, mixed-income district in Philadelphia, serving nearly 70,000 constituents across four neighborhoods. In that time, he has built a reputation as a fearless advocate for economic justice, racial equity, and democratic reform — consistently standing up to corporate interests and right-wing extremism.

Chris is running on a bold progressive platform that reflects the values our movement fights for every day: Medicare for All, stronger workers’ rights, affordable housing, clean air and water, and ending U.S.-backed forever wars. He has also been a leading voice calling to abolish ICE, expand voting rights, and confront the growing threat of concentrated wealth to our democracy.

This is about more than policy — it’s about power.

Chris Rabb understands that our current political system too often serves billionaires and corporate lobbyists instead of everyday people. That’s why he’s committed to ending pay-to-play politics and building a government that answers to voters — not wealthy donors.

Pennsylvania’s 3rd District is the bluest congressional district in the country, and this is the first open primary in decades. That makes it a rare and critical opportunity to elect a true progressive champion and strengthen our movement in Congress.

At a moment when many are frustrated by the influence of big money in politics, Chris Rabb offers a clear alternative: a people-first vision rooted in community, justice, and democracy.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Chris Rabb.

Together, we can organize, mobilize, and win — sending a bold progressive voice from Philadelphia to Washington.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Brad Lander for Congress in NY-10

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brad Lander for Congress in New York’s 10th Congressional District, a proven progressive leader with a track record of delivering for working people and standing up to corporate power.

As New York City Comptroller and previously a New York City Councilmember, Lander has led the charge on issues like workers’ rights, affordable housing, and holding corporations and public institutions accountable. His leadership has consistently centered transparency, fairness, and the needs of everyday people — not wealthy insiders.

Lander has led efforts to take on corporate greed, expand public investment, and build an economy that works for the many, not the few. From advocating for stronger labor protections to pushing for bold action on climate and housing, he has shown the kind of principled leadership our movement demands.

As Comptroller, Lander has used the power of the office to challenge corporate abuses and push for responsible investment strategies that prioritize workers, communities, and long-term sustainability. He has also been a strong advocate for ethical governance and transparency, helping ensure that public dollars are used to serve the public good.

Now, Lander is running for Congress to bring that same progressive, results-driven leadership to Washington. At a time when working families are struggling with rising costs and our democracy is under threat from corporate influence and right-wing extremism, we need leaders who will stand unapologetically with the people.

Brad Lander is that leader.

Our Revolution is proud to support his campaign and the grassroots movement behind it. Together, we can elect a champion for working families, strengthen the progressive caucus, and continue building the political revolution that puts people over profit.

Wala Blegay for Congress in MD-05

By ALL, Endorsement, MD

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Wala Blegay for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District, where she is running to bring bold progressive leadership to the seat long held by establishment figure Steny Hoyer.

Wala is no stranger to the struggle, and she has spent her career fighting for working families and healthcare justice. As a labor rights attorney, public servant, and Prince George’s At Large County Council Member, she has fought to expand economic opportunity, protect workers, and strengthen public services.

And, she served as a Maryland state delegate for Bernie Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, helping advance the political revolution that energized millions of Americans demanding a government that works for the many, not the few.

Blegay has built her career standing up for communities too often ignored by the political establishment.

Her leadership reflects the values that Our Revolution supporters organize around every day: economic justice, healthcare for all, strong public education, and real accountability for corporations and political elites.

Now she’s running for Congress to give Maryland’s 5th District the representation it deserves, offering voters a clear choice: more status quo politics that prioritize corporate power, or a bold progressive vision centered on working people.

Blegay’s campaign is rooted in the belief that our democracy works best when everyday people — not corporate lobbyists and big donors — have a seat at the table. She understands that families are facing rising costs and barriers to opportunity, and she’s committed to fighting for policies that deliver real relief and long-term change.

At a time when our democracy is under threat and working families are struggling to make ends meet, we need leaders who will challenge entrenched power and stand unapologetically with the people.

Wala Blegay is that leader.

Our Revolution is proud to support her campaign and the grassroots movement behind it.

Together, we can elect a new generation of progressive leadership and continue building the political revolution that Bernie Sanders inspired — one that puts people over profit and delivers for the many, not the few. ✊

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Audrey Denney for Congress in California’s 1st Congressional District, a people-powered leader fighting to bring real representation to Northern California.
