Tristan Rader for Ohio State Rep in HD-13

By Endorsement, OH

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. ✊

Junaid Ahmed for Congress IL-08

By Endorsement, IL

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.

Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04

By Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nida Allam for U.S. Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District — a fearless progressive leader, lifelong organizer, and proven champion for working people.

Nida’s roots in this movement run deep. She served as Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, helping build the grassroots infrastructure that sparked a political revolution across the country. That’s why Bernie Sanders — Our Revolution’s founder — has also endorsed Nida, and why we’re excited to help elect her to Congress.

A Leader Forged Through Organizing and Courage

Nida’s decision to enter public life was deeply personal. In 2015, three of her closest friends were shot and killed in an Islamophobic hate crime — an act of violence that local authorities wrongly dismissed as a “parking dispute.” That moment changed her life and propelled her into organizing and politics, determined to fight hate, injustice, and systems that silence marginalized communities.

Her leadership broke barriers: Nida Allam became the first Muslim woman ever elected to public office in North Carolina.

Delivering Real Change in Office

Today, Nida serves on the Durham County Commission, where she’s delivered tangible wins for working families and immigrant communities. In office, she:

  • Voted to raise the minimum wage for county employees to $15 an hour
  • Led the charge for low-income tax grant assistance during the pandemic
  • Secured funding for a Refugee and Immigrant Services Coordinator to better serve families in her district

Her record proves what happens when organizers govern — people’s lives improve.

The Leadership Congress Needs Now

Nida is running for Congress to bring that same clarity and courage to Washington. She’s fighting for Medicare for All, climate justice, strong labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics— because democracy can’t work when billionaires and corporate lobbyists write the rules.

At a moment when oligarch power threatens our economy and our democracy, Nida understands what’s at stake — and she’s ready to confront it head-on.

Building People Power, Not Corporate Power

Nida’s campaign is powered by grassroots supporters, not corporate PACs. It reflects the values Our Revolution was founded to advance: bold leadership, deep organizing, and unwavering accountability to working people.

With Bernie Sanders’ endorsement and the support of Our Revolution members nationwide, Nida Allam is ready to bring movement leadership to Congress and help lead the fight to Defund Oligarchy and fund the people.

We’re proud to stand with her.

Join us in supporting Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04.

Analilia Mejia Wins NJ-11 Primary

By Endorsement, NJ

A People-Powered Upset Victory, Now On to the General!

 

After a nail-biter vote count and being vastly outspent by big-money, establishment-backed opponents, Analilia Mejia has won the Democratic primary for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District. She beat the machine. She beat the money. She won with people power.

From the beginning, Our Revolution proudly endorsed Analilia because she represents exactly the kind of bold, grassroots leadership our movement exists to elect. A former union organizer, she helped win a $15 minimum wage and paid sick days, and later as National Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, she helped build a nationwide movement to un-rig the economy and take on corporate power.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Analilia in this race, and Bernie joined her for a rally on MLK Day as part of his Fight Oligarchy Tour. That movement energy carried her across the finish line against opponents backed by massive outside spending and political insiders.

Analilia didn’t run to play politics as usual — and voters responded. She ran on Medicare for All, climate action, labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics. She ran to take on the billionaire class and corporate lobbyists who have rigged the system — and to build a government that invests in We the People.

Now, Analilia advances to the April 16 special general election, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. NJ-11 has the opportunity to send a true progressive champion to Washington — someone rooted in organizing, accountable to working families, and unafraid to confront corporate power.

This victory proves what we already know:

When we organize, we win. ✊

Our Revolution Endorses Mai Vang for Congress in California’s 7th District

By CA, Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang for Congress in California’s 7th District!

Mai Vang is the daughter of refugees, a public school teacher, and the first Hmong American woman ever elected to the Sacramento City Council.

Now, she’s ready to take that fight to Washington.

In Congress, Mai will be a powerful voice for working people — standing up to the billionaire class and pushing for policies that make life more affordable for everyday Americans.

At a moment when too many politicians are beholden to corporate donors, Mai represents the kind of grassroots leadership our movement was built to elect. She’s not afraid to take on the powerful — because she comes from the people, and she fights for the people.

But we can’t do this alone.

Join us in powering this campaign all the way to Congress.

Randy — known to many as “IronStache” — is a union ironworker, veteran, and lifelong fighter for working people.He’s spent his life building bridges, both on the job and in his community, standing shoulder to shoulder with workers — not corporate lobbyists or political insiders.

Our Revolution Endorses Graham Platner for U.S. Senate

By Endorsement, ME

Our Revolution is excited to get to work to elect Graham Platner for U.S. Senate in Maine!

Graham is a Marine veteran, oysterman, and lifelong Mainer who knows what it means to work hard — and what it feels like when the system is rigged against working people. He’s running to take on Republican Senator Susan Collins and fight for a government that serves the people, not the powerful.

As a small business owner who works Maine’s coastal waters, Graham has seen firsthand how corporate greed and political corruption threaten local economies, the environment, and our democracy. He’s stepping up to defend workers’ rights, protect Maine’s natural resources, and fight for affordable health care, housing, and education for all.

Graham represents the kind of working-class leadership Our Revolution was built to support — authentic, service-driven, and unafraid to challenge the billionaire class. He’s not backed by corporate PACs or big-money interests — he’s powered by people.

Now, we need to power his campaign all the way to victory.
