Building Power in Pennsylvania: Meet Our Slate

We have an outstanding lineup of progressive champions running in Pennsylvania — and Our Revolution is proud to stand behind them. These are candidates who will challenge the status quo, fight for working people, and bring real change to every level of government.

Our PA Endorsements

  • Dylan Altemara, PA State House District 39
    Dylan is running to deliver lower taxes, better healthcare, and clean energy jobs for his district. He also serves on the board of the Pennsylvania Equality Project, where he fights for LGBTQ+ rights, equity, and community-led change.
  • Rich Forsman, Camp Hill Borough Council
    A long-time Camp Hill resident and IT professional, Rich is committed to improving public safety (especially around local schools), traffic calming, and bringing accountable governance to his borough.He shifted from conservative roots to progressive activism as he studied inequity and corruption in policy.

  • For Conestoga Valley School District:
    We also endorse Suze Louis, Sarah E. Kern, Melissa Clinton, and Tim Shea for school board. These candidates are committed to equitable funding, educational justice, and ensuring our schools serve every child — not corporate interests.

Why This Matters — It’s What Our Movement Was Built For

This is what Our Revolution was built for: electing bold progressives at every level of government — from the State House to local councils and school boards — who will stand up to the billionaire class and fight to defund the oligarchs.

In Pennsylvania, we know that power is often centralized in statehouses and local boards long before it reaches Congress. That’s why this slate matters. Each of these candidates brings:

  • A commitment to working-class interests over corporate money
  • A belief that democracy should be locally rooted
  • The courage to push policies like healthcare access, clean energy, and educational equity

When our neighbors win, we all win. Let’s show what grassroots progressive power can do in Pennsylvania!

Help us ramp up our grassroots GOTV machine to elect progressives up and down the ballot this November and hit the ground running for 2026 — every dollar helps!

Victory for Justice: Our Revolution Celebrates Larry Krasner’s Win

By Endorsement, PA

We’re proud to celebrate the re-election of Larry Krasner as Philadelphia’s District Attorney. The progressive hero secured his third Democratic primary win, winning over 60% of the vote and all but ensuring another four years of reform-focused leadership.

Why This Win Matters

Since taking office in 2018, Krasner has consistently used his position to pursue justice—not prosecution:

  • Fewer incarcerations, safer communities: Under his leadership, Philadelphia’s jail population has been slashed nearly in half, while crime rates continue to fall.
  • Prosecutorial reform in action: Krasner’s office has eliminated cash bail for many nonviolent offenses, dropped minor felony charges like marijuana possession, and aggressively prosecuted police misconduct.
  • Accountability through innovation: His DA’s office created a Conviction Integrity Unit that has exonerated dozens of innocent people. It also launched a unit to tackle quality-of-life issues—including prosecuting dumping of household waste and tires.

Standing Strong Against the Right-Wing Backlash

Krasner’s victory came despite targeted attacks from Republicans and former President Trump—and after surviving a failed impeachment attempt by state lawmakers.

His campaign drew strength from small-dollar donations and grassroots organizing. In his victory speech, Krasner proclaimed:

“They can come for Philly, but I’m not backing down.”

This Victory is a Win for Progressive Prosecution

While reform prosecutors in other cities have lost ground under conservative pressure, Krasner’s win—driven by strong support among Black voters and progressives—shows that people power still works. It’s a reminder that local organizing and community engagement can beat back authoritarian and punitive agendas.

What Comes Next?

Krasner will enter the general election unopposed—giving him the green light to keep building a more equitable, accountable justice system in Philadelphia.

This victory is a testament to all of us: when we organize, we win.

Congratulations, Larry Krasner. Keep leading the fight for real justice.
