William Lawrence for Congress in MI-07

By ALL, Endorsement, MI

William Lawrence for Congress in MI-07

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse William Lawrence for Congress in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.

William is running a people-powered campaign centered on the needs of working families across Mid-Michigan.

Raised in East Lansing, William has spent his career organizing people to take on powerful interests and deliver real results. 

As a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, he helped build one of the nation’s most influential grassroots climate organizations — securing historic investments in clean energy and good-paying jobs, including hundreds of millions of dollars invested in Michigan’s 7th District. 

William also helped found the Michigan Rent Is Too Damn High Coalition and the Mid-Michigan Tenant Resource Center, working to advance protections for renters and helping families avoid homelessness. 

William’s campaign platform reflects the kind of bold leadership this moment demands. He is focused on lowering the cost of living by expanding affordable housing, protecting Social Security, guaranteeing healthcare for all, and standing up to corporate price gouging. 

He is also calling for stronger environmental protections for Michigan’s water and farmland, greater accountability for polluters, and restoring trust in government through measures like banning stock trading by members of Congress and holding powerful interests accountable. 

Throughout his campaign, William has emphasized that Washington should work for Mid-Michigan families—not billionaires. He has pledged to build a representative’s office that listens to constituents, shows up in every community, and fights for the people who have too often been left behind. 

We’re proud to endorse William Lawrence for Congress and look forward to helping build the grassroots movement needed to send another fighter for working people to Washington.

When we organize, we win!

Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles

 

Nithya Raman has shown what progressive leadership looks like, and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her for Mayor of Los Angeles.

As a City Councilmember, Nithya has served as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee — focused on tackling the crisis in LA while working to make city government more responsive to the people it serves.

Before running for office, Nithya spent years working alongside communities across Los Angeles to address homelessness and expand access to affordable housing. An urban planner with degrees from Harvard and MIT, she co-founded the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, bringing together volunteers to connect unhoused neighbors with housing, services, and support. 

Nithya’s campaign is rooted in the belief that solving our biggest challenges requires both compassion and effective government. And she is clear that Angelenos deserve a city that delivers for them.

Her campaign is focused on addressing the housing affordability crisis by building more homes, making it easier to produce affordable housing, and ensuring that working families aren’t priced out of the communities they call home.

Los Angeles voters have repeatedly approved funding to address the crisis, and Nithya believes City Hall has a responsibility to ensure those investments produce measurable results—moving more people into permanent housing while making government more transparent and effective.

Throughout her time in office, Nithya has championed a vision of local government that listens to residents, invests in neighborhoods, and makes it easier—not harder—for people to access city services.

Those priorities reflect the values that have always driven Our Revolution: building power from the grassroots, making government accountable to ordinary people, and ensuring public institutions serve the public—not special interests.

At a time when too many politicians accept the status quo, Nithya continues to demonstrate that bold, people-powered leadership can deliver real change.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Together, we can continue building a government that works for working people, not the powerful—and prove once again that when grassroots movements organize, we win.

Connie Chan for Congress in CA-11

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Connie Chan for Congress in CA-11

 

For too long, Washington has put the interests of wealthy corporations and well-connected insiders ahead of working people.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Connie Chan for Congress in California’s 11th District.

Connie has built her career fighting for working families, affordable housing, strong public schools, neighborhood businesses, and immigrants. Throughout her time in public service, she has remained focused on making government work for everyday people—not the wealthy and well-connected.

As a San Francisco Supervisor, Connie has been a consistent advocate for working people, fighting to keep families in their neighborhoods, protect public services, and invest in affordable housing. Her campaign for Congress is built on the belief that every family deserves economic security, safe communities, and a government willing to take on the affordability crisis.

Connie knows firsthand the opportunities America can provide and has spent her life giving back to the community that welcomed her, her mother, and brother when they immigrated from Hong Kong in 1989.

Her campaign is rooted in ensuring that every child, worker, senior, and immigrant has the opportunity to succeed. She believes Congress must lower costs for families, expand affordable housing, protect Social Security and Medicare, strengthen public education, and defend immigrant communities.

Connie is also committed to making housing more affordable by securing federal investment to build more housing. She argues that relying solely on the private market has failed to address the housing crisis and believes government must play a stronger role in ensuring everyone has access to an affordable place to live.

Connie has made clear that democracy works best when elected leaders remain accountable to the people they serve. Her campaign is powered by neighbors, volunteers, labor allies, and community members who believe Congress should answer to working families—not corporate interests.

Connie represents the next generation of progressive leadership—grounded in community, committed to public service, and ready to fight for the people of California’s 11th District every single day.

We’re proud to endorse Connie Chan for Congress.

Together, we can continue building a Congress that puts people before profits, expands opportunity for working families, and delivers the bold progressive leadership this moment demands.

When we organize, we win.

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.

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. ✊

Four Progressives for the Colorado State House

 

This November, Colorado voters have an opportunity to send a powerful group of progressive champions to the State House — leaders ready to take on corporate power, stand up for working people, defend our rights, and make Colorado a place where everyone can thrive.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Iris Halpern in House District 6, Junie Joseph in House District 10, Steph Vigil in House District 16, and KennyNguyen in House District 33.

★ ★ ★

Iris Halpern — House District 6

Iris Halpern has spent her career taking on powerful institutions — and now she’s ready to bring that fight to the State Capitol.

A civil and workers’ rights attorney, Iris previously worked as a national organizer for SEIU and served as an Acting Supervisory Attorney at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Denver. Her legal career has included fighting for workers facing wage theft, victims of workplace harassment and discrimination, transgender employees, immigrant workers, teachers and librarians fighting book bans, and others whose rights have been violated.

Now, Iris is running to take that same fighting spirit to the Colorado House.

★ ★ ★

Monica VanBuskirk — House District 9

Monica VanBuskirk (HD-9) — a longtime healthcare policy advocate with two decades of experience helping shape policies that expand access to affordable coverage for Colorado families.

Monica helped develop major healthcare reforms, including the Colorado Option and programs that make insurance more affordable. Now she’s running to lower costs for working families, protect clean air and water, strengthen public services, and expand affordable housing and reliable public transportation.

★ ★ ★

Junie Joseph — House District 10

Junie Joseph brings a global commitment to human rights and a deeply local commitment to the people of Boulder.

Before entering the Colorado Legislature, Junie worked with the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva and USAID in Côte d’Ivoire. She went on to serve on the Boulder City Council and as Mayor Pro Tem before becoming the State Representative for House District 10.

Her guiding philosophy is simple: everybody wins when everybody wins.

From fighting climate change and addressing Colorado’s housing crisis to defending reproductive rights and strengthening worker power, Junie is proving that progressive government can deliver tangible results while making sure nobody gets left behind.

★ ★ ★

Steph Vigil — House District 16

Steph Vigil knows the struggles facing working people because she has lived them.

Steph has experienced housing and transportation insecurity and describes herself as someone who came to public service not from the political class, but with working-class grit and firsthand knowledge of what happens when people are left behind by the status quo.

She turned those experiences into action.

When Steph previously represented House District 16, she put working families at the center of her work, took on corporate lobbyists, and helped pass legislation strengthening worker protections while advancing more affordable housing, better transportation, and environmental protections.

Steph’s campaign is about turning struggle into solidarity — and building a government that gives every Coloradan a real foundation to thrive.

★ ★ ★

Kenny Nguyen — House District 33

Kenny Nguyen represents a new generation of Colorado leadership rooted in community and public service.

Born and raised in Colorado to Vietnamese refugees, Kenny was the first in his family to graduate from college and later earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of Colorado Denver.

His path into politics began with service. Kenny worked with young people in underserved communities through AmeriCorps and the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, became a community organizer, spent more than five years working for Colorado Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera, and was elected to the Broomfield City Council.

In January 2026, Kenny was appointed to represent House District 33 in the Colorado Legislature.

Now he’s fighting to continue that work — with a focus on protecting vulnerable Coloradans, tackling soaring housing costs, strengthening infrastructure, and expanding public transportation.

★ ★ ★

Building Progressive Power in Colorado

Iris Halpern, Junie Joseph, Steph Vigil, and Kenny Nguyen each bring something different to this movement — a workers’ rights attorney who has spent her career taking on powerful institutions, a human rights advocate turned legislator, a working-class fighter shaped by lived experience, and the son of refugees who built a career in public service.

But they share the same fundamental belief: government should work for working people, not wealthy corporations and powerful special interests.

This November, we have the opportunity to build progressive power in the Colorado State House and elect leaders who will fight for affordable housing and healthcare, strong public schools, worker power, reproductive freedom, civil rights, and communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

When we organize, we win.
