Mathewos Samson for Georgia State House District 58

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Mathewos Samson for Georgia State House District 58 — a lifelong Atlantan, community organizer, and democratic socialist running to put working people ahead of billionaires and corporate interests.

Mathewos grew up in Atlanta’s historic Old Fourth Ward in a family of immigrants. His parents came to Atlanta in the 1980s after being displaced by conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. As his neighborhood changed, he watched longtime residents get priced out of the communities they had called home for decades.

That experience helped push Mathewos into organizing. He marched against the killing of George Floyd, organized his coworkers for better conditions and fair pay, worked on local progressive campaigns, and advocated at Atlanta City Hall for public transit expansion, affordable housing, and fairer taxes on the wealthy.

Now he’s taking that fight to the Georgia State Capitol.

At the heart of Mathewos’ campaign is a straightforward idea: Georgia should work for working people, not corporations and billionaires. His campaign refuses corporate PAC money and is powered by grassroots supporters.

Mathewos is putting forward a bold working-class agenda. He supports legalizing rent control, banning rental price-fixing, ending corporate ownership of single-family homes, establishing a Tenants Bill of Rights, and investing in affordable social housing. 

He’s also fighting for universal healthcare, including passage of the Georgia Medicare for All Act and the creation of a single-payer system without copays, deductibles, fees, or premiums. He also supports protecting abortion, birth control, and gender-affirming care as essential healthcare.

Mathewos understands that affordability goes far beyond housing and healthcare. He supports raising Georgia’s minimum wage to at least $20 an hour, repealing anti-union “right-to-work” laws, guaranteeing paid family leave, providing universal no-cost childcare and Pre-K, creating good-paying infrastructure jobs, and making the wealthiest Georgians pay their fair share in taxes.

It’s time to send another people-powered progressive to the State Capitol — and build a Georgia that works for all of us.

When we organize, we win.

Peter Hubbard for Georgia Public Service Commission

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Peter Hubbard for reelection to the Georgia Public Service Commission — an energy expert and consumer advocate taking on powerful utility interests to fight for lower bills and a clean, reliable energy future.

Peter isn’t your typical politician. Before taking office, he spent 15 years working in the energy sector and analyzing energy markets, including developing grid-scale solar and battery storage projects that provide clean, reliable power.

He also founded a nonprofit and spent six years advocating for consumers before the Georgia Public Service Commission — challenging Georgia Power’s costly plans and putting forward alternatives designed to keep utility bills down.

Then, last November, Georgia voters sent him to the other side of the hearing room.

Peter won a special election to the PSC and was sworn in as a commissioner in January. And he wasted no time putting his energy expertise to work for Georgia consumers.

In his first months on the Commission, Peter has demanded an independent audit of Georgia Power’s profit margin, pushed to reconsider the PSC’s 2025 approval of a major fossil-fuel expansion, and published an analysis estimating that electricity discounts for data centers could shift more than $1 billion in infrastructure costs onto residential customers.

He has also testified before the state legislature about the need for stronger consumer protections.

For years, Peter was on the outside of the PSC fighting for consumers. Now he’s on the inside — asking tough questions, challenging corporate power, and pushing to put ratepayers ahead of utility profits.

Together with Commissioner Alicia Johnson, Peter’s election cut what had been a 5–0 Republican majority on the Commission to 3–2. This November, Peter is running for a full six-year term, with another PSC seat also on the ballot.

Peter’s campaign is focused on lower utility bills, reliable clean energy, and putting consumers at the center of the decisions that determine Georgia’s energy future.

That’s exactly the kind of leadership Our Revolution is organizing to elect at every level — leaders with the expertise to understand the system and the courage to challenge it.

We are proud to stand with Peter Hubbard for Georgia Public Service Commission.

When we organize, we win!

Rep. Ruwa Romman for Georgia State Senate

Georgia’s working families are being squeezed by corporate landlords, poverty wages, and politicians who refuse to act.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Representative Ruwa Romman for State Senate — a fearless progressive taking on corporate power and fighting for real solutions like a $15 minimum wage, healthcare access, and housing justice.

A Proven Progressive Fighter

Ruwa currently serves in the Georgia House representing District 97, where she has been a consistent voice for working people, public investment, and justice.

She made history as the first Muslim woman elected to the Georgia State House and the first Palestinian elected to public office in the state — but her leadership goes far beyond firsts.

For more than a decade, Ruwa has been organizing in Georgia — building coalitions, empowering communities, and fighting for a government that serves people, not corporations.

A Bold Agenda for Georgia Families

Ruwa Romman is running on a clear, unapologetic progressive platform that speaks directly to the challenges Georgians are facing:

• Raise the minimum wage — Georgia’s $5.15 wage is unacceptable; it’s time for at least $15/hour
• Take homes back from corporate landlords — closing tax loopholes and cracking down on predatory investors
• Expand healthcare access — reopening hospitals and ensuring care for all
• Feed hungry kids — investing so no child goes without food
• Press pause on harmful data center expansion that strains communities without delivering real benefits

She also understands that real safety comes from investment — not punishment.

While the Republican majority continues to fund private prisons, Ruwa is fighting to:

• End funding for private prisons
• Invest in diversion and community-based safety
• Close loopholes that allow forced prison labor

Investing in Public Good

Ruwa believes government should be a force for good — delivering for people, not corporations.

That means:

• Fully funding public education, raising teacher pay, and reducing class sizes
• Protecting workers’ rights, including the right to organize
• Expanding public services that meet real community needs

She has also shown real courage — including being the only state-level official in 2023 to oppose Cop City.

Building Progressive Power in Georgia

This race is about more than one seat.

Winning will:

• Strengthen Georgia’s growing Progressive Caucus
• Help block harmful, corporate-backed legislation
• Build on a powerful grassroots movement organizing across the state

Ruwa’s recent statewide campaign mobilized thousands — and now she’s bringing that energy to a race where it can deliver immediate results.

Now Is the Moment

Georgia is at a crossroads.

We can continue down a path shaped by corporate greed — or elect leaders who will fight for working families and invest in our future.

Ruwa Romman is that leader — and we’re proud to stand with her.

When we organize, we win. ✊
