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.

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. 

Christian believes government should put people first. His “Fair Shake For All” plan calls for universal Medicare-for-All with no premiums or deductibles, lower drug prices, and the end of medical debt.

He will fight to get money out of politics, protect reproductive freedom, and ensure that communities—not wealthy donors and powerful special interests—have a real voice in our democracy.

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. 

Together, we can elect a real champion for working people in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District.

Mark Pocan for Congress in Wisconsin’s 2nd District

For more than a decade, Congressman Mark Pocan has been one of the strongest progressive voices in Washington — fighting for working people, standing up for economic and social justice, and delivering bold leadership in Congress.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Mark Pocan for re-election to Congress in Wisconsin’s 2nd District.

Since first being elected to Congress in 2012 after serving 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly, Mark has built a reputation as a principled progressive who never loses sight of who he works for. A former small business owner and union member, he has spent his career fighting to improve the lives of working families and advancing policies rooted in fairness and opportunity.

In Congress, Mark serves on the House Appropriations Committee, where he helps shape investments in education, labor, health care, and other priorities that directly impact communities across the country. He also serves as Co-Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, Co-Chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus, and Chair Emeritus of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — reflecting his long-standing commitment to advancing progressive values and defending the rights of working people.

Mark continues to lead on the issues that matter most. He has worked to make college more affordable by introducing legislation to double the Pell Grant, advocated for human rights abroad, fought to protect civil liberties at home, and continued to challenge wasteful military spending while defending investments that strengthen American families.

At a time when corporate interests and billionaires are exerting unprecedented influence over our democracy, we need proven leaders who will fight for everyday people—not the powerful few. Mark Pocan has consistently been that leader.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Mark because we know he’ll continue fighting for workers’ rights, equality, quality public education, affordable health care, and an economy that works for everyone.

Primary Election Day is August 11th.

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)

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.

Building Progressive Power in Minnesota

Jen McEwen, John Marty, Omar Fateh, Robyn Gulley, and David Gottfried are building a future rooted in workers’ rights, reproductive freedom, affordable health care, public education, environmental justice, clean energy, and a democracy that works for everyone.

We’re proud to endorse these five progressive champions for the Minnesota House and Senate because they understand that real progress comes when people—not corporations or wealthy special interests—have the power.

Our Revolution Supports the Michigan Money Out of Politics Initiative

By ALL, Endorsement, MI

Our Revolution Supports the Michigan Money Out of Politics Initiative

Our democracy should belong to the people—not billionaires, monopoly utilities, or corporations looking to buy influence.

That’s why Our Revolution proudly supports the Michigan Money Out of Politics ballot initiative, a people-powered campaign to restore accountability, transparency, and trust in Michigan’s democracy.

For too long, powerful corporations and special interests have used campaign contributions and dark money to gain outsized influence over the decisions that affect millions of Michiganders. Regulated monopoly utilities and large government contractors have poured money into politics while everyday people are left wondering whether their elected officials are working for the public—or for their biggest donors.

The Michigan Money Out of Politics initiative offers a straightforward solution.

The citizen-led ballot proposal would:

  • Ban regulated monopoly utilities from contributing to state officeholders and political party committees.
  • Ban corporations with large state or local government contracts from contributing to candidates who oversee those contracts.
  • Close the “issue ad” loophole that allows dark money groups to spend heavily on political advertising while hiding their donors.
  • Modernize Michigan’s campaign finance disclosure laws so voters know who is paying for political ads, including online advertising.

These reforms strike at the heart of pay-to-play politics.

Michigan voters deserve to know who is trying to influence their elections and should be confident that elected officials are accountable to the people—not corporations seeking favorable treatment or lucrative government contracts. According to polling commissioned by supporters of the initiative, there is broad bipartisan support for limiting political contributions from regulated monopolies and companies seeking government contracts.

Just as importantly, this campaign is being driven by ordinary Michiganders.

Rather than waiting for politicians to reform a system that often benefits them, a broad coalition of community organizations launched this citizen-led initiative and collected more than 560,000 signatures to place the proposal before voters. After a bipartisan vote of the Michigan Board of State Canvassers, the initiative has officially qualified to move forward toward the November 2026 ballot.

At Our Revolution, we’ve long fought to get corporate money out of politics because democracy works best when every voice carries equal weight—not just those with the deepest pockets.

The Michigan Money Out of Politics initiative represents exactly the kind of structural reform our democracy needs. It would shine a light on dark money, reduce conflicts of interest, and help ensure that elected officials answer to voters instead of powerful corporations.

Michigan has the opportunity to become a national leader in campaign finance reform.

Our Revolution is proud to support the Michigan Money Out of Politics initiative, and we urge Michiganders to vote YES for a more transparent, accountable, and people-powered democracy.

When we organize, we win.

By ALL, Endorsement, WA

Rep. Pramila Jayapal for re-election to Congress

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Pramila Jayapal for re-election to Congress in Washington’s 7th District.

Pramila has been one of the nation’s most effective progressive leaders—transforming bold ideas into real legislative power while never losing sight of the movement that sent her there.

Whether she’s fighting for Medicare for All to workers’ rights to immigrant justice, Pramila has consistently stood with the values Our Revolution was founded to advance.

A Champion for Progressive Change

Pramila has spent her career fighting for government to work for ordinary people—not just the wealthy and well-connected.

In Congress, she has been a leading voice for Medicare for All, lower drug costs, affordable housing, abortion rights, defending immigrants, strengthening labor unions, confronting corporate power, and building an economy where every family has the opportunity to thrive.

She has consistently fought to make healthcare a human right, raise wages, expand paid family leave, protect voting rights, and ensure every community has the resources it needs to succeed.

Her work reflects a simple belief: our government should put people before profits.

Building Progressive Power in Congress

As Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Pramila helped reorganize the caucus to be even more impactful on Capitol Hill.

Under her leadership, the caucus became larger, more united, and more strategic—bringing members together around shared priorities and demonstrating that organized progressives can shape national policy.

She helped strengthen the caucus into a disciplined coalition capable of advancing bold legislation while ensuring working families had a stronger voice in negotiations over some of the most significant legislation considered by Congress.

Pramila’s leadership showed that progressives don’t just have ideas—we have the power to organize, build coalitions, and deliver results.

A True Partner to Our Revolution

Pramila has always understood that lasting change doesn’t begin inside the halls of Congress—it begins with people organizing in their communities.

That’s why she has remained one of Our Revolution’s closest allies.

Over the years, Pramila has joined Our Revolution’s national organizing calls time and again, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our members as we mobilized to elect progressive candidates, defend democracy, and push for economic justice.

She knows that elected leaders are strongest when they’re accountable to grassroots movements—not corporate PACs or billionaire donors.

That partnership is exactly what Bernie Sanders envisioned when he founded Our Revolution: elected leaders and grassroots organizers working together to build lasting political power from the bottom up.

The Leadership This Moment Demands

At a time when working families face rising costs, attacks on fundamental freedoms, and growing corporate influence over our democracy, we need experienced progressive leaders who are willing to fight—not compromise away our values.

Pramila Jayapal has earned that trust.

Together, let’s send one of our movement’s strongest champions back to Congress.

Vote Pramila Jayapal for Congress in Washington’s 7th District.

Rashida Tlaib for re-election to Congress

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rashida Tlaib for re-election to Congress in Michigan’s 7th District because she has never stopped advocating for working people, challenging corporate power, and standing up for communities too often ignored by Washington.

From her first day in Congress, Rashida has refused to back down from the toughest fights. Whether she’s defending immigrant communities, taking on corporate power, or defending civil rights, she has remained accountable to the people—not special interests.

Fighting for Working Families

Rashida’s campaign is rooted in a simple belief: government should put working people and vulnerable communities first.

In Congress, she has fought to lower costs for families, pushed for Medicare for All, and worked to ensure every person has the opportunity to thrive. Rashida has remained one of Congress’s strongest independent voices.

Her campaign is powered by people, not corporate PAC money, and she has made clear that she’s running to take on billionaire bullies that too often drown out the voices of everyday Americans.

Delivering for Her Community

Rashida believes that public service means showing up for your community every day.

Her congressional office has helped hundreds of thousands of constituents, resolved thousands of individual cases, and returned millions of dollars to residents of Michigan’s 12th District while continuing to fight for justice.

She understands that effective representation means both delivering real results at home and fighting for bold change in Washington.

The Leadership This Moment Demands

Working families need leaders who won’t compromise with corporate power or abandon their values when the pressure mounts.

Rashida Tlaib has built her career confronting injustice and organizing alongside the communities she represents. She continues to fight for a more equitable country and will never give up on the values she holds dear.

Together, let’s send one of our movement’s boldest champions back to Congress.

When we organize, we win.
