Our Revolution proudly endorses Summer Lee for reelection to Congress in Pennsylvania’s 12th District.

Summer Lee has been one of the boldest progressive voices in the U.S. House — fighting to end big money in politics, expand healthcare, protect workers, lead on climate justice, and defend voting rights. In Congress, she has stood up to corporate greed and entrenched power, refusing corporate PAC money and consistently putting working families first.

Summer is also a proud co-sponsor of the Defund the Oligarchs, Fund the People resolution, which calls for taxing extreme wealth, ending corporate giveaways, and reinvesting public dollars in healthcare, housing, education, and good jobs. At a time when billionaires and special interests are tightening their grip on Washington, Summer is helping lead the charge to cut off the pipelines that turn political power into private profit.

Before Congress, Summer made history in the Pennsylvania House as one of the first Black women ever elected to the state legislature. There, she fought for criminal justice reform, environmental protections, higher wages, and expanded healthcare access — building a reputation as a fearless advocate for communities too often ignored by the political establishment.

Our Revolution and Sen. Bernie Sanders have had Summer’s back from the very beginning. When corporate super PACs poured millions into trying to defeat her, it was grassroots organizing and small-dollar donors that powered her victory. That people-powered movement continues to define her leadership in Washington.

Summer Lee doesn’t just talk about change — she organizes for it, legislates for it, and fights for it every day. We are proud to stand with her once again as she continues the work of building a government that serves the many, not the billionaire few.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nick Uniejewski for Illinois State Senate in District 6 — a community organizer, policy analyst, and unapologetic progressive ready to bring bold, people-centered leadership to Springfield.

Nick is running to offer a new kind of representation for communities long left behind by politics as usual. A lifelong organizer, he has led grassroots efforts that bring people together for real change, from founding the Chicago Salon Club— hosting hundreds of community “salons” focused on housing, transit, and equity — to working as a policy analyst for the City of Chicago Department of Family and Support Services and as a statewide organizer with reproductive rights groups.

His campaign is grounded in listening to neighbors and building coalitions, not taking corporate PAC money.

Nick is running on a bold progressive platform that meets the urgency of this moment: building more affordable housing statewide, modernizing public transit for riders and workers, and ending the outsized influence of corporate money in politics so everyday people — not special interests — determine policy in Springfield.

At a time when Illinois faces historic challenges — from housing instability and inadequate transit options to the corrosive influence of big money in politics — Nick’s leadership offers a fresh, progressive, people-powered alternative rooted in organizing and accountability to the communities he seeks to serve.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Karina Villa for Illinois Comptroller — a proven progressive leader with deep roots in community service and a strong record of delivering for working families. Karina brings the values and experience Illinois needs in an office responsible for managing public dollars with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Karina currently serves in the Illinois State Senate, where she has consistently fought for economic justice, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, and responsible budgeting that puts people first. A former school social worker and lifelong advocate for children and families, she brings a people-centered lens to fiscal policy — understanding that budgets are moral documents that shape real lives. Karina has also been a strong ally of labor, standing with union workers and supporting fair wages and worker protections.

As Comptroller, Karina will go beyond balancing the books. She is committed to ensuring transparency in state spending, closing corporate tax loopholes, and making sure public dollars are paid on time to schools, healthcare providers, and human service organizations that communities rely on. She understands that Illinois can’t build a fair economy while allowing powerful interests to dodge responsibility.

Our Revolution is endorsing Karina because she represents the kind of leadership our movement exists to support: bold, principled, and accountable to the people — not corporate donors. The Democratic primary election is March 17, 2026, and we’re proud to stand with Karina Villa as she runs to make Illinois government work for everyone.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rep. Delia Ramirez for reelection to Congress in Illinois’ 3rd District. From her earliest days in office, Delia has embodied the bold, people-powered leadership our movement exists to elect — standing unapologetically with working people, challenging corporate power, and pushing for transformative change.

A Record of Progressive Wins

Since arriving in the U.S. House, Delia has been a force for progress on the issues that matter most to our communities. She has:

• Championed Medicare for All by co-sponsoring legislation that would ensure affordable, quality healthcare for every person in this country.
• Led the fight for environmental justice, advancing climate solutions that prioritize frontline communities and clean energy jobs.
• Defended workers’ rights and economic dignity, advocating for paid leave, fair wages, and protections for working families.
• Stood with immigrant communities as a vocal opponent of cruel deportation policies and a defender of humane immigration reform.
• Fought for reproductive freedom, voting to safeguard and expand access to reproductive healthcare for all.

Delia’s leadership reflects the values of our movement: she doesn’t just talk about justice — she votes for it, organizes for it, and uses her platform to uplift the voices of people who have long been ignored by corporate-backed politicians.

Fighting Corporate Power and Oligarch Influence

Delia is a cosponsor of the Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People resolution — introduced to Congress by Rep. Rashida Tlaib with our support. Together we’re confronting the dangerous fusion of billionaire money and political power. That resolution, grounded in research by Our Revolution, calls for ending corporate subsidies, tax giveaways, and political favoritism that funnel wealth upward while everyday people struggle to afford healthcare, housing, and education.

Our Revolution endorsed Delia in her first race for Congress, and since then we’ve worked alongside her on key issues like holding corporate polluters accountable, expanding democratic participation, and defending immigrant rights. She is a partner in the movement, not just a voice in Washington.

People-Powered Leadership in a Critical Time

In an era where billionaire interests and corporate PACs dominate political influence, Delia’s commitment to people-centered policy is exactly what Congress needs. She shows up for frontline communities, listens to working families, and consistently fights for an agenda that reflects the priorities of everyday people — not special interests.

As Republicans continue to push policies that enrich the wealthy and erode basic rights, we need leaders like Delia who will stand firm for democracy, economic justice, and human dignity.

Election Day for the primary is March 17. We encourage all supporters of progressive leadership to turn out and help reelect Rep. Delia Ramirez — a leader who consistently delivers for working people.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Junaid Ahmed for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 8th District — a grassroots leader, small business owner, and relentless advocate for working families who will bring people-powered progressive leadership to Washington.

A Fighter for Working People and Community Power

Junaid’s life and work reflect the values our movement was built on. As the son of immigrant working-class parents, he grew up seeing firsthand how hard families work to make ends meet, and he’s dedicated his life to building pathways to opportunity and justice for others.

Throughout his career, Junaid has been a community organizer and small business owner — founding a tech company that employs local workers and co-founding Chi-Care, a nonprofit that has delivered over one million meals and supplies to unhoused neighbors across the Chicago area.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Junaid didn’t step back — he stepped up, launching efforts to deliver hot meals and essential support to those most affected, demonstrating the kind of compassionate leadership our communities need.

A Bold Progressive Agenda

Junaid is running to fix a system that too often serves corporations and billionaires instead of working people. He has pledged to:

• Fight for Medicare for All and affordable healthcare
• Raise wages and protect workers’ rights
• Champion quality public education and affordable college
• Reduce the influence of corporate money in politics
• Take on the climate crisis with bold, equitable action
• Defend immigrant, civil, and LGBTQ+ rights
  These priorities align with the values driving our Defund the Oligarchs campaign and the broader progressive movement.

Standing With Movement Allies

Junaid has earned key progressive endorsements, including from the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, which recognizes his vision for people-centered leadership in Congress. He has also received backing from Justice Democrats, further highlighting his commitment to rejecting corporate PAC money and building a government that answers to people — not special interests.

People-Powered, Not Corporate-Funded

Junaid refuses corporate PAC money, believing ballots — not big checks — should determine our leadership. His campaign’s grassroots fundraising and broad community support reflect the power of working people organizing together for change.

A Progressive Voice for Illinois and the Nation

As Our Revolution continues the fight to Defund Oligarchy and Fund the People, Junaid Ahmed stands as a candidate who understands the stakes — from healthcare and housing to workers’ rights and democratic accountability. His life’s work is rooted in service, compassion, and community empowerment, and we’re proud to stand with him.

Join us in supporting Junaid Ahmed for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District.
