Our Revolution is proud to endorse Tristan Rader for the Ohio House — a proven progressive leader who has delivered real results for working people and communities across Northeast Ohio.
Tristan currently serves as State Representative for Ohio’s 13th District, representing Cleveland’s West Side and Lakewood. Prior to his election to the Statehouse, he served on the Lakewood City Council, where he built a strong record of people-centered leadership rooted in community needs.
Before holding office, Tristan worked as a community organizer and clean energy advocate, including with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, helping connect neighbors to essential resources. That background continues to shape his work in office — focusing on economic justice, environmental sustainability, and community health.
In the Ohio Legislature, Tristan has been a consistent voice for clean energy, environmental justice, and policies that lower costs for working families. He has championed community energy projects, fought for cleanup of polluted sites, and pushed back against policies that put corporate interests ahead of public good.
Why We’re Endorsing Tristan
Tristan Rader represents the kind of leadership Our Revolution exists to elect: bold, principled, and grounded in organizing. He doesn’t just talk about progressive values — he works to turn them into concrete wins for the people he represents.
At a time when Ohio needs leaders willing to stand up to corporate power and fight for everyday people, Tristan has shown he’s ready — and already doing the work.
Make a Plan to Vote
Early in-person voting begins April 8, and Election Day is May 5. We encourage everyone in the district to vote early if possible and help re-elect a leader who puts people first.
Our Revolution is proud to stand with Tristan Rader.
When we organize, we win. ✊
