Kai Newkirk for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District

At a moment when too many Democrats are afraid to confront corporate power, authoritarianism, and endless war, Kai Newkirk is running directly into the fight.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Kai Newkirk for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District.

Kai is a longtime organizer, labor activist, and movement leader — and he’s taking on an AIPAC-funded Democrat incumbent to turn this seat bright blue.

He first started organizing in college through the global justice and anti-war movement after 9/11, then served as a union organizer with UNITE HERE and other labor campaigns. He went on to help found national democracy movements, including Democracy Spring — organizing nonviolent direct action against corruption, oligarchy, and attacks on democratic rights.

Since moving to Arizona in 2018 with his wife, immigrant rights leader Erika Andiola, Kai has continued building grassroots progressive power as co-chair of the Progressive Council of the Arizona Democratic Party.

A Clear Contrast in AZ-04

This race is a battle over the future of the Democratic Party.

Kai’s opponent, incumbent Greg Stanton, is a corporate-aligned “New Democrat” backed heavily by corporate PAC money and AIPAC. Stanton opposes Medicare for All and voted to sanction the International Criminal Court after it moved to indict Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kai is offering a fundamentally different vision.

He’s running on:

• Medicare for All
• Ending corruption and billionaire control of politics
• Defeating authoritarianism and MAGA extremism
• Abolishing ICE and protecting immigrant communities
• Ending U.S. support for genocide and criminal wars
• Affordable housing and lowering costs for working families
• Worker rights and union power
• Climate action and environmental justice

Kai rejects corporate PAC money and is unapologetically challenging the billionaire-driven politics dominating both parties.

A Movement Candidate

Kai isn’t running a conventional campaign.

He’s spent his adult life organizing nonviolent struggles for democracy, peace, workers’ rights, climate action, and justice for all people.

And he understands what’s at stake in this moment.

This campaign is about proving that Democrats who enable genocide, mass deportation, corporate greed, and billionaire influence can be challenged — and beaten.

It’s about building the ranks of progressive fighters in Congress and shifting the Democratic Party in a truly progressive populist direction.

And it’s about showing that voters are hungry for leaders willing to actually confront entrenched power instead of accommodating it.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Kai Newkirk in this fight.

When we organize, we win. 

Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07 — a lifelong organizer, education advocate, and progressive leader fighting for Southern Arizona families and immigrant communities.

We were proud to back Adelita in her campaign last year, and we’re proud to stand with her again as she runs for a full term in Congress representing Arizona’s 7th District.

Adelita stepped up to run after the passing of her father, longtime progressive champion Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who spent decades fighting for labor rights, environmental justice, immigrant communities, Indigenous sovereignty, and progressive change in Congress. 

But Adelita isn’t simply carrying forward a legacy — she’s built one of her own.

Before being elected to Congress in 2025, Adelita served for years on the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board and later on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, where she focused on public education, affordable housing, environmental protection, and expanding opportunity for working families. 

Her campaign is deeply rooted in Southern Arizona and grounded in the belief that government should work for ordinary people — not corporations or billionaire donors.

As her campaign puts it: “Community-rooted. Southern Arizona strong. One of us. Fighting for all of us.” 

Adelita is running for re-election to continue fighting for public schools, labor rights, environmental justice, healthcare access, immigrant communities, and economic opportunity in a district that has long been a center of progressive organizing in the Southwest. 

She has also emerged as a strong progressive voice willing to stand up to MAGA extremism and attacks on democratic institutions. After winning this seat last year, House Republicans delayed swearing her into office for weeks during a government shutdown standoff — a move widely criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates. 

Adelita currently faces Republican Daniel Butierez, a repeat GOP challenger backed by conservative interests. 

And while massive outside spending transformed last year’s Arizona special election into a national battleground, Adelita continued building a grassroots coalition powered by labor, progressives, Latino communities, young voters, and movement organizations. 

At a time when too many politicians cave to corporate pressure and billionaire influence, Adelita Grijalva has remained grounded in community organizing, public service, and progressive values.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse her once again.

When we organize, we win. ✊
