Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State

At a time when our democracy is under attack, Colorado needs a leader who will protect the vote, expand access, and take on the influence of big money in politics.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State.

Amanda Gonzalez is a voting rights attorney and democracy advocate who has spent her career fighting to ensure government works for everyone — not just the powerful. As the elected Clerk & Recorder for Jefferson County, she oversees elections for hundreds of thousands of voters and has worked to make them more accessible, secure, and transparent.

Before serving in elected office, Amanda was the executive director of Colorado Common Cause, where she helped advance reforms to strengthen democracy — including expanding ballot access and reducing the influence of money in politics.

She has been a leader in building a more inclusive democracy — helping pass policies like automatic voter registration, increasing secure ballot drop boxes, and supporting independent redistricting to ensure fair representation.

Amanda’s campaign is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: our democracy should belong to the people.

She represents a new generation of leadership — grounded in protecting voting rights, expanding access, and ensuring transparency and accountability in our elections.

At Our Revolution, we believe that defending democracy means fighting for systems that work for everyday people — not corporations or special interests.

Amanda Gonzalez has spent her career doing exactly that.

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s protect our democracy together.

Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3

By ALL, Endorsement, MD

Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3

At a time when working families are being squeezed by rising costs and corporate influence, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3.

Zola is a proven progressive leader, organizer, and public servant who has spent her career fighting for working people — not the powerful.

As a Rockville City Councilmember, Izola has delivered real results: advancing affordable housing investments, championing rent stabilization, and increasing public engagement in local government.

Zola’s entry in politics began by organizing workers to win a higher minimum wage for workers in Montgomery County. Like many other federal workers, she was fired by the Trump administration last May, along with 150 of her coworkers. 

Her experience in public service goes beyond government agencies, serving on numerous county boards and task forces focused on women’s rights, social justice, voting rights and food security. 

As a commissioner on the county’s Housing Opportunities Commission, Zola helps oversee a $400 million budget to build, preserve, and provide affordable housing for tens of thousands of residents.

She has also been a leader on racial and economic justice — helping lead the passage of Montgomery County’s Racial Equity and Social Justice Act and building the infrastructure to ensure government policies serve the most vulnerable.

Izola’s campaign is grounded in the belief that government must work for everyday people — fighting for affordable housing, strong public schools, good jobs, and equitable communities.

And she’s not new to our movement.

Izola has been part of the broader progressive organizing ecosystem aligned with Our Revolution — working alongside grassroots groups, advancing racial equity, and building people-powered change in Montgomery County.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need right now.

Izola Shaw understands that progress isn’t given — it’s won. And she has spent her career organizing, delivering, and standing up to power to make it happen.

At Our Revolution, we’re proud to stand with candidates who are rooted in the grassroots and committed to bold, people-first change.

Izola Shaw is that leader — and we’re proud to endorse her.

Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan

By ALL, Endorsement, MI

Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan

At a time when we need bold, transformational leadership, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

Abdul is a physician, epidemiologist, and public health leader — perhaps best known as a powerful surrogate for Medicare for All during the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, who has also come out to endorse him in this Senate run.  

From leading public health efforts in Michigan to addressing national systemic health inequities, his work has always been grounded in the belief that everyone deserves dignity, care, and opportunity.

He’s running on a bold campaign platform to deliver for working people:

  • Medicare for All – healthcare is a human right
  • Taking on corporate greed
  • Restoring worker power
  • Ending corporate influence in politics
  • A humane immigration system
  • Foreign policy rooted in peace and accountability

This is a campaign powered by people — not corporate PACs — and driven by a commitment to build a government that truly represents working families.

At Our Revolution, we know that real change doesn’t come from the top down — it comes from movements.

Abdul El-Sayed has been part of that movement for years. Now, he’s ready to bring that fight to the United States Senate.

We’re proud to stand with him — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

When we organize, we win.

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

In one of the most progressive districts in the country, voters in Colorado’s 1st deserve a representative who will fight as boldly as they do.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress.

Melat Kiros is a lawyer, PhD student, and grassroots candidate running to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington — accountable to working people, not corporate PACs or entrenched political power.

Her campaign is rooted in a clear, unapologetic progressive vision.

Melat is running on a platform that includes:

  • Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right
  • Housing First — treating housing as a public good and ending homelessness
  • Universal childcare — ensuring every family has the support they need
  • Ending corporate influence in politics — rejecting corporate PAC money
  • An arms embargo rooted in human rights and accountability in U.S. foreign policy

She has been clear: in the richest country in the world, housing, healthcare, food, and education should be guaranteed rights — not privileges.

Melat’s candidacy is also about challenging a political status quo that has failed to deliver for working people. In a district like Denver — where inequality, displacement, and rising costs are reshaping communities — she is making the case that it’s time for leadership willing to take on corporate power and fight for structural change.

This is a campaign powered by people — not billionaires.

And it’s part of a broader movement to transform the Democratic Party into one that truly represents the needs of everyday Americans.

At Our Revolution, we believe that real change comes from candidates who are willing to stand up, speak out, and organize — even when it comes at a personal cost.

Melat Kiros is that kind of leader.

We’re proud to stand with her in Colorado’s 1st District — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s organize for a government that works for all of us.

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

At a time when working people are demanding bold leadership, Julie Gonzales is stepping up to meet the moment — and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her.

A daughter of the San Carlos Apache Nation and a lifelong organizer, Julie has spent her career fighting for working families and immigrants. From organizing for affordable housing and workers’ rights to serving as a powerful voice in the Colorado State Senate, she has never backed down from the fights that matter most.

Julie Gonzales isn’t just talking about change — she’s delivering it.

In the Colorado Senate, she helped repeal the death penalty, stood strong to protect abortion rights after Roe was overturned, and has led efforts to expand protections for immigrant communities. She consistently champions policies that put people over profits.

And Julie is bringing that same unapologetic progressive vision to her campaign for U.S. Senate. She is running on a bold agenda that includes:

  • Medicare for All and universal care
  • Raising the minimum wage and strengthening labor rights
  • Universal childcare and affordable housing
  • A ban on congressional stock trading
  • Protecting reproductive freedom and gender-affirming care
  • A humane immigration system that defends our communities 

Julie has never been afraid to challenge the status quo — even when it means taking on powerful interests within her own party. Her campaign is rooted in grassroots organizing and driven by the belief that our government should work for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

That’s why national progressive leaders and grassroots activists are rallying behind her candidacy. Because Julie Gonzales represents the future of the Democratic Party: bold, fearless, and accountable to the people.

At Our Revolution, we know real change doesn’t come from the top down — it comes from movements. Julie Gonzales is that movement candidate.

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and we’re ready to help send a true progressive champion to the United States Senate.

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

By ALL, Endorsement, ME

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District — a longtime public servant, democracy defender, and progressive leader ready to stand up for working people.

Matt Dunlap has spent decades serving the people of Maine with integrity and independence. From his time in the Maine House of Representatives to seven terms as Secretary of State, and now as State Auditor, he has built a reputation for accountability, transparency, and putting the public interest first. 

But what truly sets Matt apart is his willingness to stand up to power — no matter where it comes from. During the Trump administration, he served on the so-called “election integrity” commission and took it head-on when it became clear it was a partisan effort to undermine voting rights, ultimately helping expose it and force its dissolution. 

Matt has deep roots in the progressive movement. He served as a Maine co-chair for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, helping build the grassroots energy that continues to power our movement today. He understands that real change comes from organized people — not corporate influence.

Now, he’s running for Congress with a commitment to a “People’s Agenda” that centers working-class needs, challenges corporate power, and pushes back against politicians who side with Republicans and fail to deliver for their constituents. 

At a time when too many Democrats hedge or compromise with corporate interests, Matt is running to be a clear, unapologetic voice for economic justice, voting rights, and a government that works for the many — not the few.

Maine’s 2nd District deserves a representative who will fight for healthcare, defend our democracy, and stand up to Trump and corporate power without hesitation. Matt Dunlap has the experience, the courage, and the movement behind him to do just that.

Aisha Wahab for Congress (CA-14)

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Aisha Wahab for Congress (CA-14)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse State Senator Aisha Wahab for Congress in California’s 14th District — a bold, movement leader who has spent her career fighting for working people, tenants, and communities too often left behind.

Aisha Wahab’s story is one of resilience and purpose. Born to Afghan refugees and raised in the East Bay after time in foster care, she understands firsthand the struggles that so many families face. That lived experience has shaped her commitment to building an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected.

In the California State Senate, Wahab has been a leading voice for affordability, workers’ rights, and housing justice. She has taken on powerful interests to expand tenant protections, lower costs for working families, and push back against corporate-driven policies that put profit over people. 

Wahab’s progressive leadership is backed by a strong record. She has earned top marks from organizations like Planned Parenthood, labor unions, environmental groups, and healthcare advocates — reflecting her unwavering support for reproductive freedom, workers’ rights, climate action, and expanding access to care. 

She has also broken barriers as the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the California State Senate, bringing new voices and perspectives into government while fighting to make it more responsive to the people it serves. 

At a time when too many politicians are beholden to corporate donors and political insiders, Aisha Wahab has consistently stood with working-class communities — taking on corporate monopolies, advocating for economic justice, and pushing for policies that center human dignity.

Now, she’s bringing that same fight to Congress.

California’s 14th District deserves a representative who will stand up to entrenched power, fight for affordability and justice, and deliver real results for working families. Aisha Wahab has the experience, the values, and the movement behind her to do just that.

Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

By ALL, Endorsement, NJ

Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District — a lifelong public servant, veteran, and physician who has dedicated his career to saving lives, not serving corporate interests.

Dr. Hamawy’s story is rooted in service. An immigrant who grew up in New Jersey, he worked his way through Rutgers on an ROTC scholarship, joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, and became a combat trauma surgeon in the U.S. Army, ultimately rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel. 

He treated victims on 9/11, saved lives on the battlefield in Iraq — including now-Senator Tammy Duckworth — and has spent more than three decades providing care in war zones and disaster areas around the world.

But what sets Dr. Hamawy apart is not just his service — it’s what he has learned from it.

From Iraq to Gaza, he has witnessed firsthand the devastating human cost of endless war and a foreign policy driven by politics and profit rather than humanity. At the same time, he has treated patients here at home in New Jersey who struggle to access basic care in a broken healthcare system. That contrast has shaped his mission: to fight for healthcare, not bombs.

Dr. Hamawy is running a truly people-powered campaign grounded in bold progressive values. He supports Medicare for All to guarantee healthcare as a human right. He is committed to ending inhumane immigration policies, including abolishing ICE. And he is fighting to unrig an economy that puts billionaires and corporations ahead of working people.

Unlike many in Washington, Dr. Hamawy cannot be bought. His campaign is rooted in service, integrity, and a deep commitment to human dignity — values he has lived out not just in words, but in action across decades.

At a time when establishment politicians continue to uphold a status quo that fails working families, Dr. Hamawy represents the kind of leadership our movement was built to elect: courageous, compassionate, and unapologetically committed to justice.

New Jersey’s 12th District deserves a representative who understands what it means to serve — and who will fight every day to deliver for the people, not corporate donors or political insiders.

Dr. Adam Hamawy has spent his life saving lives. Now, he’s ready to fight for them in Congress.

When we organize, we win.

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.
