People-Powered Slate in Maryland

Real change doesn’t just happen in Washington — it’s built from the ground up.

From state legislatures to county councils to school boards, down-ballot races shape the policies that impact our daily lives: housing, education, workers’ rights, public safety, and economic justice.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse a powerful slate of candidates across Maryland — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working families, and deliver real results in their communities.

Progressive Champions for State Senate

Raaheela Ahmed (SD-23)
Raaheela Ahmed is a community leader and organizer focused on equity, public education, and expanding opportunity for working families. Her campaign reflects a commitment to inclusive leadership and building a government that works for all Marylanders.

Jason Fowler (SD-27)
Jason Fowler is running to bring accountability and fresh leadership to Annapolis, with a focus on affordability, public investment, and ensuring government serves people — not entrenched interests.

Amar Mukunda (SD-39)
Amar Mukunda is a public servant and progressive advocate who has worked on economic development and community investment. His campaign is centered on affordability, small business growth, and building a more inclusive economy.

Proven Progressive Leaders for State House

Lorig Charkoudian (HD-20)
Delegate Lorig Charkoudian is a nationally recognized progressive leader, known for championing criminal justice reform, utility accountability, and economic justice. She has led efforts to rein in utility rate hikes and protect consumers, while advancing policies that support working families.

Sheila Ruth (HD-44B)
Delegate Sheila Ruth is a strong progressive voice in Annapolis, fighting for public education, workers’ rights, and economic equity. She has been a consistent advocate for policies that uplift working people and expand opportunity.

Building Power at the Local Level

Our Revolution is also proud to support candidates stepping up in critical local races across Maryland:

  • Victor Ramirez — Prince George’s County Council (D2)
  • Imara Crooms — Prince George’s County Council (D9)
  • Jamie McGonnigal — Prince George’s County Board of Education (D3)

These leaders are working to strengthen public services, expand opportunity, and ensure local government is responsive to the communities it serves.

Leading for the Future in Montgomery County

  • Will Jawando — Montgomery County Executive
    A nationally recognized progressive leader, Jawando has championed education equity, criminal justice reform, and youth opportunity, building a platform centered on fairness and inclusion.
  • Marc Elrich — Montgomery County Council At-Large
    A longtime progressive champion, Elrich has spent decades fighting for tenants’ rights, smart growth, and working families, and remains a strong voice for equitable development.
  • Josie Caballero — Montgomery County Council At-Large
    Josie Caballero is a labor and community advocate focused on worker protections, equity, and inclusive economic growth, bringing a people-first vision to local government.

Why Down-Ballot Races Matter

In a state like Maryland, where Democrats dominate, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future.

Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?

These down-ballot races are where we build the foundation for real progress — from passing stronger labor protections to investing in public education and holding powerful interests accountable.

Maryland has the opportunity to lead — but only if we elect leaders who will fight for working people at every level.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in NY-13

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in NY-13

The working people in Harlem and the Bronx deserve bold, unapologetic leadership.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress in New York’s 13th District.

Darializa isn’t a career politician — she’s a movement organizer.

A working-class Afro-Latina, member of the United Auto Workers, and public defense investigator in Harlem, Darializa is grounded in grassroots organizing and committed to taking on corporate power.

From organizing against ICE to supporting working-class New Yorkers through mutual aid, her work has always centered on dignity, justice, and solidarity. She’s running on a bold, people-first agenda that includes:

  • Housing for all and major investments in public housing
  • Economic justice and support for working families
  • Immigrant rights and an end to inhumane detention and deportation policies
  • Ending endless war and redirecting resources toward communities at home
  • Greater worker ownership and community investment

Darializa has also been a leading voice in the movement for Palestinian human rights, connecting the fight against militarism abroad with the fight for justice and investment at home. 

In NY-13, Darializa is challenging a long-entrenched incumbent backed by powerful special interests — including real estate and corporate-aligned donors. 

This race is about more than one seat. It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue to be shaped by insiders and big money — or by grassroots movements fighting for working people.

Darializa is part of a growing wave of insurgent, people-powered candidates stepping up to challenge the status quo — just like we saw with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this very region.

When we organize, we win!

Rep. Ruwa Romman for Georgia State Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, GA

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. ✊

Claire Valdez for Congress in NY-07

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Claire Valdez for Congress in NY-07

At a time when working people are demanding more than empty promises, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Claire Valdez for Congress in New York’s 7th District.

Claire Valdez isn’t a career politician — she’s a union organizer, worker, and democratic socialist who has spent her life fighting for working people to have power.

A Worker and Organizer First

Claire’s story is rooted in the struggles so many New Yorkers face. She worked low-wage customer service jobs through high school and college, and later as a worker at Columbia University, where she joined UAW Local 2110, helped lead organizing efforts, and fought for a fair contract.

She didn’t just join a union — she helped transform it, organizing alongside her coworkers to democratize their workplace and win better conditions.

She also became a leader in the movement — organizing with NYC-DSA and helping build the kind of grassroots power that fuels real political change.

Today, she brings that same commitment to her role as a New York State Assemblymember, where she has already begun delivering for workers.

A Bold, Unapologetic Agenda

Claire Valdez is running on a clear, movement-driven platform:

  • Unions for all — expanding labor rights so every worker can organize
  • Housing for all — advancing social housing and taking on the housing crisis
  • Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right

In Albany, she has already:

  • Introduced legislation with UAW to expand unemployment insurance and paid leave for adjunct workers
  • Fought to strengthen protections for vulnerable workers
  • Been a vocal advocate for social housing solutions

And she’s shown real courage — even risking arrest to support NY for All, standing with immigrant communities and fighting to end collaboration between local law enforcement and ICE.

Taking on the System

Claire understands that the crises facing working people — from housing costs to healthcare to labor rights — are not accidents. They are the result of a system that prioritizes profit over people.

She’s running to change that.

Her campaign is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: workers deserve full, dignified lives — with time for family, security in retirement, and freedom from economic precarity.

That means:

  • Strong unions
  • Affordable housing
  • Universal healthcare
  • A government that represents working people — not corporations

Building a Movement

This race is about more than one seat.

It’s about proving that a campaign rooted in worker solidarity and unapologetic progressive values can win — and expand the political imagination of what’s possible.

From defending immigrant communities to fighting for a more humane foreign policy, Claire is part of a growing movement ready to challenge the status quo and build something better.

Now Is the Moment

Our Revolution believes real change comes from organized people — not big money.

Claire Valdez represents that movement.

We’re proud to stand with her as she fights to bring working-class power to Congress.

When we organize, we win. ✊

CA HOUSE & SENATE

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Bold Progressive Slate for California’s Future

California has long been seen as a laboratory for progressive change — but whether that promise is realized depends on who we elect at every level of government.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support a powerful slate of candidates for the California State Assembly and Senate — leaders who are ready to take on corporate power, fight for working people, and deliver real results.

Sean Frame — State Senate District 6

Sean Frame is stepping up with a grassroots, people-powered campaign focused on affordability, accountability, and building a government that works for everyday Californians. His campaign reflects the growing demand for new leadership that isn’t tied to corporate interests.

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair — Assembly District 65

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a community organizer and advocate who has built her campaign around economic justice, healthcare access, and uplifting working-class communities. She represents a new generation of leadership rooted in service, equity, and grassroots organizing.

Jackie Elward — Assembly District 12

Jackie Elward brings a community-first approach to her campaign, focused on transparency, accountability, and ensuring that public institutions serve people — not powerful insiders. She is part of a wave of candidates pushing for more responsive and equitable governance.

Chris Kluwe — Assembly District 72

Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player turned outspoken activist, has been a vocal advocate for civil liberties, LGBTQ+ rights, and free speech. He has consistently used his platform to challenge injustice and is running to bring that same courage and independence to Sacramento.

Liz Ortega — Assembly District 20

Liz Ortega is a labor leader and longtime advocate for workers’ rights. As a union leader, she has fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and economic justice — and she’s bringing that fight to the legislature.

Alex Lee — Assembly District 24

Alex Lee has already proven himself as one of the most outspoken progressive voices in the California Legislature. A democratic socialist and Medicare for All champion, he has led on housing justice, student debt relief, and expanding the social safety net.

Ash Kalra — Assembly District 25

Ash Kalra is a national leader in the fight for single-payer healthcare, authoring California’s Medicare for All legislation. A civil rights attorney and longtime progressive champion, he has consistently taken on corporate interests and fought for workers, immigrants, and marginalized communities.

Building Power Down the Ballot

Real change doesn’t just happen in Congress — it starts in our communities.

That’s why we’re proud to endorse a powerful slate of local leaders in California who are stepping up to fight for working people:

  • Maria Pacheco (Fresno County Supervisor D1) – community advocate focused on equity, public safety reform, and investing in underserved neighborhoods
  • Neil Polzin (Covina City Treasurer) – bringing transparency, fiscal accountability, and responsible stewardship of public funds
  • Flo Cofer (Sacramento County Supervisor D1) – community leader and public safety advocate working to build safer, more equitable communities
  • Jocelyn Sida (Fontana Mayor) – grassroots leader focused on working families, economic opportunity, and responsive local government
  • Tamisha Torres Walker (Antioch City Council D1) – violence prevention leader and equity advocate centering youth, safety, and community investment
  • Monica Wilson (Antioch City Council D2) – educator and public servant committed to transparency, accountability, and community-first leadership

From city halls to county councils, these races shape our daily lives — and build the foundation for bigger progressive wins. ✊

And, we’re backing several amazing candidates for local school boards and state boards  — because these seats shape our children’s education, our tax system, and our communities.

  • Brandee Marckmann (SF Board of Education) — educator and founder of the SF Education Alliance, fighting privatization and supporting public schools
  • Samuel Sukaton (Board of Equalization, D1) — a progressive tax advocate working to make corporations pay their share
  • Cody Petterson (Board of Equalization, D4) — focused on transparency and accountability in shaping fair tax policy
  • Shant Kevorkian (Glendale USD Board) — a community leader and parent advocate working to strengthen public schools

Let’s elect leaders who will put people first. ✊

Why These Races Matter

In a blue state like California, the primary is often the election — and that means the real choice is between different visions for the future of the Democratic Party.

Will we elect candidates backed by corporate interests and the status quo?
Or leaders rooted in grassroots movements, ready to deliver bold change?

Down-ballot races are where real power is built. They determine whether we can pass policies that make healthcare a human right, tackle the housing crisis, strengthen labor protections, and take on climate change at the scale required.

California can lead the nation — but only if we elect the strongest progressives possible.

These candidates represent the future of that fight.

A Ward 4 Councilmember and labor ally, Janeese made history as the first self-described democratic socialist elected to the D.C. Council in decades. She ran — and won — on a grassroots, small-donor campaign that centered working people. 

Now, Janeese is running a people-first campaign for Mayor focused on affordability, equity, and building a city that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.

Her platform directly takes on the crises facing working families:

  • Universal Childcare: Expanding subsidies so every D.C. family can afford care 
  • Social Housing: Investing in publicly owned, mixed-income housing to tackle skyrocketing rents 
  • Workers & Families First: Fighting for good jobs, strong labor protections, and economic justice
  • Immigrant Justice: Ending cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration enforcement 
  • Community Safety: Investing in prevention, public services, and accountability — not failed status quo approaches
  • Affordable City for All: Tackling the cost of housing, childcare, transportation, and small business survival 

This is a comprehensive agenda rooted in the idea that government should serve people — not corporations and big money interests.

Janeese is challenging a political establishment that has held power in D.C. for decades — and she’s doing it the same way she’s always led: by organizing. She is offering a clear alternative to politics as usual — one that uplifts working people, renters, families, and communities too often left behind.

Janeese represents the next generation of leaders carrying that movement forward at the local level — where real change can take root.

When we organize, we win.
