By ALL, CO, Endorsement

Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State

At a time when our democracy is under attack, Colorado needs a leader who will protect the vote, expand access, and take on the influence of big money in politics.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Amanda Gonzalez for Colorado Secretary of State.

Amanda Gonzalez is a voting rights attorney and democracy advocate who has spent her career fighting to ensure government works for everyone — not just the powerful. As the elected Clerk & Recorder for Jefferson County, she oversees elections for hundreds of thousands of voters and has worked to make them more accessible, secure, and transparent.

Before serving in elected office, Amanda was the executive director of Colorado Common Cause, where she helped advance reforms to strengthen democracy — including expanding ballot access and reducing the influence of money in politics.

She has been a leader in building a more inclusive democracy — helping pass policies like automatic voter registration, increasing secure ballot drop boxes, and supporting independent redistricting to ensure fair representation.

Amanda’s campaign is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: our democracy should belong to the people.

She represents a new generation of leadership — grounded in protecting voting rights, expanding access, and ensuring transparency and accountability in our elections.

At Our Revolution, we believe that defending democracy means fighting for systems that work for everyday people — not corporations or special interests.

Amanda Gonzalez has spent her career doing exactly that.

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s protect our democracy together.

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

By ALL, CO, Endorsement

Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress in CO-01

In one of the most progressive districts in the country, voters in Colorado’s 1st deserve a representative who will fight as boldly as they do.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Melat Kiros for U.S. Congress.

Melat Kiros is a lawyer, PhD student, and grassroots candidate running to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington — accountable to working people, not corporate PACs or entrenched political power.

Her campaign is rooted in a clear, unapologetic progressive vision.

Melat is running on a platform that includes:

  • Medicare for All — guaranteeing healthcare as a human right
  • Housing First — treating housing as a public good and ending homelessness
  • Universal childcare — ensuring every family has the support they need
  • Ending corporate influence in politics — rejecting corporate PAC money
  • An arms embargo rooted in human rights and accountability in U.S. foreign policy

She has been clear: in the richest country in the world, housing, healthcare, food, and education should be guaranteed rights — not privileges.

Melat’s candidacy is also about challenging a political status quo that has failed to deliver for working people. In a district like Denver — where inequality, displacement, and rising costs are reshaping communities — she is making the case that it’s time for leadership willing to take on corporate power and fight for structural change.

This is a campaign powered by people — not billionaires.

And it’s part of a broader movement to transform the Democratic Party into one that truly represents the needs of everyday Americans.

At Our Revolution, we believe that real change comes from candidates who are willing to stand up, speak out, and organize — even when it comes at a personal cost.

Melat Kiros is that kind of leader.

We’re proud to stand with her in Colorado’s 1st District — and we’re ready to help build the grassroots power needed to win.

Join us. Let’s organize for a government that works for all of us.

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

By ALL, CO, Endorsement

Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate in Colorado

At a time when working people are demanding bold leadership, Julie Gonzales is stepping up to meet the moment — and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her.

A daughter of the San Carlos Apache Nation and a lifelong organizer, Julie has spent her career fighting for working families and immigrants. From organizing for affordable housing and workers’ rights to serving as a powerful voice in the Colorado State Senate, she has never backed down from the fights that matter most.

Julie Gonzales isn’t just talking about change — she’s delivering it.

In the Colorado Senate, she helped repeal the death penalty, stood strong to protect abortion rights after Roe was overturned, and has led efforts to expand protections for immigrant communities. She consistently champions policies that put people over profits.

And Julie is bringing that same unapologetic progressive vision to her campaign for U.S. Senate. She is running on a bold agenda that includes:

  • Medicare for All and universal care
  • Raising the minimum wage and strengthening labor rights
  • Universal childcare and affordable housing
  • A ban on congressional stock trading
  • Protecting reproductive freedom and gender-affirming care
  • A humane immigration system that defends our communities 

Julie has never been afraid to challenge the status quo — even when it means taking on powerful interests within her own party. Her campaign is rooted in grassroots organizing and driven by the belief that our government should work for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

That’s why national progressive leaders and grassroots activists are rallying behind her candidacy. Because Julie Gonzales represents the future of the Democratic Party: bold, fearless, and accountable to the people.

At Our Revolution, we know real change doesn’t come from the top down — it comes from movements. Julie Gonzales is that movement candidate.

We’re proud to stand with her in this fight — and we’re ready to help send a true progressive champion to the United States Senate.

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District — a longtime public servant, democracy defender, and progressive leader ready to stand up for working people.

Matt Dunlap has spent decades serving the people of Maine with integrity and independence. From his time in the Maine House of Representatives to seven terms as Secretary of State, and now as State Auditor, he has built a reputation for accountability, transparency, and putting the public interest first. 

But what truly sets Matt apart is his willingness to stand up to power — no matter where it comes from. During the Trump administration, he served on the so-called “election integrity” commission and took it head-on when it became clear it was a partisan effort to undermine voting rights, ultimately helping expose it and force its dissolution. 

Matt has deep roots in the progressive movement. He served as a Maine co-chair for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, helping build the grassroots energy that continues to power our movement today. He understands that real change comes from organized people — not corporate influence.

Now, he’s running for Congress with a commitment to a “People’s Agenda” that centers working-class needs, challenges corporate power, and pushes back against politicians who side with Republicans and fail to deliver for their constituents. 

At a time when too many Democrats hedge or compromise with corporate interests, Matt is running to be a clear, unapologetic voice for economic justice, voting rights, and a government that works for the many — not the few.

Maine’s 2nd District deserves a representative who will fight for healthcare, defend our democracy, and stand up to Trump and corporate power without hesitation. Matt Dunlap has the experience, the courage, and the movement behind him to do just that.

Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

By ALL, Endorsement, NJ

Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress (NJ-12)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District — a lifelong public servant, veteran, and physician who has dedicated his career to saving lives, not serving corporate interests.

Dr. Hamawy’s story is rooted in service. An immigrant who grew up in New Jersey, he worked his way through Rutgers on an ROTC scholarship, joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, and became a combat trauma surgeon in the U.S. Army, ultimately rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel. 

He treated victims on 9/11, saved lives on the battlefield in Iraq — including now-Senator Tammy Duckworth — and has spent more than three decades providing care in war zones and disaster areas around the world.

But what sets Dr. Hamawy apart is not just his service — it’s what he has learned from it.

From Iraq to Gaza, he has witnessed firsthand the devastating human cost of endless war and a foreign policy driven by politics and profit rather than humanity. At the same time, he has treated patients here at home in New Jersey who struggle to access basic care in a broken healthcare system. That contrast has shaped his mission: to fight for healthcare, not bombs.

Dr. Hamawy is running a truly people-powered campaign grounded in bold progressive values. He supports Medicare for All to guarantee healthcare as a human right. He is committed to ending inhumane immigration policies, including abolishing ICE. And he is fighting to unrig an economy that puts billionaires and corporations ahead of working people.

Unlike many in Washington, Dr. Hamawy cannot be bought. His campaign is rooted in service, integrity, and a deep commitment to human dignity — values he has lived out not just in words, but in action across decades.

At a time when establishment politicians continue to uphold a status quo that fails working families, Dr. Hamawy represents the kind of leadership our movement was built to elect: courageous, compassionate, and unapologetically committed to justice.

New Jersey’s 12th District deserves a representative who understands what it means to serve — and who will fight every day to deliver for the people, not corporate donors or political insiders.

Dr. Adam Hamawy has spent his life saving lives. Now, he’s ready to fight for them in Congress.

When we organize, we win.

In addition to congressional candidates Bob Brooks and Chris Rabb, Our Revolution is proud to endorse a strong slate of progressive leaders running for State House and State Senate seats across Pennsylvania — candidates ready to take on corporate power and deliver for working families.

In the State House, we’re proud to support Ce Gerlach (HD-22), Brittany Bloam (HD-45), and Ismail Smith-Wade-El (HD-49) — leaders committed to expanding opportunity, strengthening communities, and building an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.

Progressive Slate in Oregon

In addition to supporting Sen. Jeff Merkley’s re-election campaign, Our Revolution is proud to endorse a slate of bold progressives running for State House seats across Oregon — leaders ready to take on corporate power and deliver for working families.

Tammy Carpenter (HD-27) is a community advocate and organizer committed to fighting for economic justice, strong public services, and opportunities for working people to thrive. She’s running to ensure government works for everyday Oregonians — not corporate interests.

John “Waz” Wasielewski (HD-38) is a grassroots leader focused on building a more just and equitable economy. He’s organizing to uplift working families, strengthen labor protections, and challenge the influence of big money in politics.

Travis Nelson (HD-44) is a nurse, labor leader, and proven champion for healthcare justice. As the first Black LGBTQ+ member of the Oregon Legislature, he has been a powerful voice for workers, patients, and underserved communities — fighting for equitable access to care and stronger protections for working people.

David Osborne (HD-52) is running to bring people-powered leadership to Salem, with a focus on affordability, economic opportunity, and standing up to corporate greed. He’s committed to building an economy that works for all Oregonians.

Each of these candidates stands firmly with working families and has pledged to take on oligarchy and corporate power.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with this slate of leaders. When we organize, we win.

Jeff Merkley for re-election U.S. Senate

Jeff Merkley for re-election U.S. Senate

At a moment of deep crisis for our democracy and our country, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Senator Jeff Merkley for reelection to the United States Senate (Oregon).

It’s a recognition of something rare in Washington: a leader who not only shares our values, but has stood with our movement when it matters most — especially when it’s hardest.

A Clear Voice Against Endless War

As the threat of a wider conflict escalates, Merkley has been one of the strongest voices in Congress opposing an unauthorized and dangerous war with Iran.

On April 6th, speaking with grassroots organizers across the country on Our Revolution’s Organize to Win call, Merkley made clear what’s at stake:

“This war is reckless, unlawful, and already hitting Americans here at home.” 

That’s not political hedging — it’s moral clarity.

While too many in Washington fall in line or stay silent, Merkley has consistently challenged the march toward war, reminding us that Congress — not the president — has the authority to decide matters of war and peace. He has warned that this path is not only unconstitutional, but dangerous for working families already struggling with rising costs tied to global instability. 

At a time when the political establishment too often enables endless war, Jeff Merkley has chosen courage.

Defending Democracy and Voting Rights

Merkley has also been a steadfast champion for democracy itself — pushing back against attacks on voting rights and efforts to rig the system against working people.

On that same call, he spoke to the urgency of protecting the ballot:

“We have to defend every American’s right to vote and reject efforts like the SAVE Act that put up barriers instead of expanding democracy.”

That’s been the throughline of his career: expand democracy, don’t restrict it.

From fighting voter suppression to backing reforms that get big money out of politics, Merkley understands that political power should belong to the people — not billionaires or corporate interests.

A Proven Champion

Jeff Merkley’s record reflects the values our movement was built on:

  • Championing Medicare for All and lowering prescription drug costs 
  • Leading the fight for bold climate action and a Green New Deal 
  • Standing up to Wall Street and corporate monopolies 
  • Advocating for student debt relief and affordable education 
  • Opposing endless wars and unchecked executive power 

And importantly, he hasn’t wavered when the pressure mounts.

Time and again, Merkley has taken the harder path — whether that’s opposing bad trade deals, challenging corporate influence, or standing up to leadership when they fall short.

Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District

Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District

Our Revolution is proud to join Bernie Sanders in endorsing Bob Brooks for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th District — a working-class fighter who has spent his life serving his community and is ready to take that fight to Washington.

Bob Brooks isn’t a career politician. He’s a 20-year firefighter from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who has put his life on the line to protect his neighbors. That experience matters. It means he understands — firsthand — the challenges working families face, from rising costs to underfunded public services to the need for good-paying union jobs.

Brooks is running to unseat a Republican incumbent and bring real representation to PA-07 — not for corporations or the wealthy few, but for the people who keep our communities running every day.

His campaign is rooted in the values that define our movement: economic justice, strong public services, and a government that works for working people. Like so many in the progressive movement, Brooks knows that the system is rigged in favor of big corporations and billionaires — and he’s ready to challenge that status quo.

That’s why leaders like Bernie Sanders have stepped up to support his campaign — recognizing that Bob represents the kind of authentic, working-class leadership our country needs more of.

At a time when working families are struggling with rising costs, stagnant wages, and a political system dominated by corporate interests, we need candidates who will stand up and fight — not just talk.

Bob Brooks is that kind of candidate.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with him and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can flip this seat, strengthen the progressive movement in Congress, and build a government that truly serves the many, not the few.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District

By ALL, Endorsement, OH

Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brian Poindexter for Congress in Ohio’s 7th District — a union ironworker, organizer, and public servant who knows what it means to fight for working people because he’s lived it.

Brian Poindexter isn’t a career politician. He’s been a proud union ironworker since 2007, working his way through an apprenticeship while earning a degree from Cuyahoga Community College. That experience — building things with his hands, working on job sites, and earning every step forward — is exactly the kind of working-class perspective that’s missing in Washington.

After graduating, Brian became a union organizer, helping workers who were struggling without representation gain the power and protections of a union. He later returned to the field, leading major infrastructure and construction projects across Northeast Ohio — from Playhouse Square developments to critical work at NASA Glenn Research Center. Today, he continues to give back as an apprenticeship instructor with Ironworkers Local 17, training the next generation of skilled workers.

Brian has also stepped up to serve his community in public office. Since 2017, he has been an At-Large member of Brook Park City Council, where he has consistently stood with working families. He’s opposed “Right to Work” laws, fought against school voucher schemes that undermine public education, and supported strong public institutions like the postal service and local schools.

That record matters.

At a time when corporate interests and anti-worker politicians are attacking unions, gutting public services, and rigging the economy in favor of the wealthy, Brian Poindexter represents a different kind of leadership — one rooted in solidarity, fairness, and real economic justice.

Now, Brian is running to unseat Republican incumbent Max Miller and bring that same commitment to Congress. He understands that working families in Ohio are being squeezed by rising costs, stagnant wages, and a political system that too often puts corporate profits over people.

Brian is running to change that — to fight for good-paying union jobs, strong public schools, and an economy that works for working people, not the wealthy few.

This is exactly the kind of candidate Our Revolution was built to support: someone who has organized, worked, and fought alongside their community — and who will carry that fight to Washington.

Brian Poindexter is the real deal.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with him and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can elect a working-class champion to Congress and continue building a political revolution that puts people over profit.

When we organize, we win. ✊
