Our Revolution Endorses James Talarico

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse James Talarico, a bold progressive leader who has consistently stood up for working people and challenged the extremism and corruption dominating Texas politics.

During his time in public service, Talarico has shown what it means to lead with courage and conviction. He has been a strong defender of public education, speaking out against attacks on public schools and fighting to ensure every child has access to quality education. At a time when extremist politicians are trying to dismantle public institutions and divide communities, Talarico has remained focused on expanding opportunity and protecting the common good.

Talarico has also been a clear and unwavering voice for economic justice, healthcare access, and a more accountable government. He has repeatedly challenged corporate influence and called out policies that prioritize the wealthy and well-connected over everyday people. His leadership reflects the values that Our Revolution supporters fight for every day: a government that works for working families, not corporate interests.

In a political environment increasingly dominated by division and special interests, James Talarico has demonstrated the kind of moral clarity and people-first leadership our country needs. He understands that real change comes from organizing communities, standing up to entrenched power, and building a movement that puts people over profit.

Our Revolution is proud to support James Talarico and the grassroots movement behind his campaign. Together, we can elect leaders who will fight for public education, defend democracy, and build an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.

Dolores Lozano for Harris County Justice of the Peace (Pct. 2, Place 2)

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Dolores Lozano for Harris County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Place 2 — a committed public servant and community advocate who has dedicated her career to expanding access to justice and protecting working families.

Dolores Lozano brings years of experience serving Harris County residents through public service and community engagement. With a background rooted in civic leadership and advocacy, she has worked closely with families navigating housing instability, economic hardship, and barriers within the legal system. She understands that for many Texans, the Justice of the Peace court is not an abstraction — it is where decisions about housing, small claims, traffic cases, and basic rights directly impact everyday life.

A Court That Works for the People

Justice courts are often the first — and sometimes only — interaction working families have with the judicial system. Dolores is running to ensure that this court operates with fairness, transparency, and compassion.

She believes the bench must:

  • Protect tenants’ rights and prevent unjust evictions
  • Ensure due process for all residents
  • Expand language access and accessibility in the courtroom
  • Prioritize alternatives to punitive fines that disproportionately impact low-income communities

Dolores understands that justice should not depend on wealth. Courts must serve the community — not function as revenue generators or tools that deepen inequality.

Rooted in Community Leadership

Throughout her career, Dolores has built trust by listening to residents and advocating for policies that strengthen neighborhoods. Her leadership reflects the values Our Revolution champions: accountability, equity, and people-first governance.

In a county as large and diverse as Harris, we need judicial leaders who are grounded in the community and committed to fairness under the law. Dolores Lozano represents a new generation of local leadership focused on restoring trust and ensuring equal justice for all.

Our Revolution exists to elect leaders who stand with working families and challenge systems that perpetuate injustice. Dolores Lozano is that kind of leader.

We are proud to stand with her.

Julio Salinas for Texas State House District 41

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Julio Salinas for Texas State House District 41 – a longtime organizer and capitol staffer who will fight to restore the promise of America to the Rio Grande Valley.

Jose is running to rebuild trust in our elected officials, return opportunity to the Valley, and make sure working families are prioritized – not the powerful elite. The RGV used to offer two things: a low cost of living and a community that lifted people up. Now, too many families are being crushed by rising housing costs, healthcare bills, and property taxes. Jose has the experience and drive to make a change and deliver major investments in the RGV.

A Champion for Public Education and Working Families

Throughout his career, Julio has been a steadfast advocate for:

  • Investments in education, so every child can succeed.
  • Access to affordable healthcare and mental health services.
  • Good jobs and strong labor protections, so hard work once again pays off.

He knows firsthand the challenges facing families in HD-41 — from healthcare shortages and underfunded schools to rising costs of living — and he is committed to delivering practical solutions rooted in equity and opportunity.

Rooted in Community, Not Corporate Interests

Julio’s leadership is grounded in community service, not corporate PAC money. He has built his reputation by listening to constituents, strengthening local institutions, and fighting for policies that put people before profits.

At a time when Texas families need leaders who will stand up to powerful special interests and defend public education, healthcare access, and economic justice, Julio Salinas is ready to step up.

Our Revolution exists to elect candidates who will confront oligarchic influence and champion working people. Julio Salinas embodies that mission.

We’re proud to stand with him in this critical race.

When we organize, we win. ✊

State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt for Texas Comptroller

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt for Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts — a proven public servant committed to lowering costs for working families, fighting corruption, and restoring trust in government.

At a time when Texans are facing rising housing costs, higher utility bills, and growing economic uncertainty, the office of Comptroller matters more than ever. The Comptroller is the state’s chief financial officer — responsible for managing Texas’ revenue, overseeing billions in public funds, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Texans deserve a watchdog, not a rubber stamp for corporate giveaways.

A Record of Accountability and Reform

Sarah Eckhardt has built her career on transparency and public accountability. Before serving in the Texas Senate, she was the first female Travis County Judge, where she led efforts to improve fiscal oversight, invest in infrastructure, and strengthen public services. In the Senate, she has been a consistent voice for ethical government, responsible budgeting, and policies that serve everyday Texans — not special interests.

Sarah understands that budgets are moral documents. They reflect who government chooses to prioritize. And for too long, backroom deals and blank checks to corporate insiders have eroded public trust.

As Comptroller, Sarah has pledged to:

  • End corporate handouts that don’t deliver for Texans
  • Increase transparency in how public funds are allocated
  • Ensure taxpayer dollars are invested in schools, healthcare, infrastructure, and community resilience
  • Provide honest, independent economic analysis — free from political manipulation

Putting Texans First

The Comptroller’s office should be a firewall against corruption — not a facilitator of it. Sarah Eckhardt is running to bring integrity back to state finances and make sure public resources are used to lower costs and strengthen communities.

In an era of rising oligarch influence and political profiteering, Texas needs leaders willing to stand up to special interests and put working families first. Sarah has the experience, independence, and backbone to do just that.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Sarah Eckhardt in this critical race.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Rev. Freddie Haynes for Congress in Texas’ 30th District

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rev. Freddie Haynes for U.S. Congress in Texas’ 30th District — a lifelong movement leader whose decades of pastoral leadership and community organizing in Dallas have been rooted in the fight for justice, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Rev. Haynes is not new to this struggle. As Senior Pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, he has built one of the most influential faith-based institutions in Texas — using the pulpit not just for preaching, but for organizing around voting rights, economic empowerment, healthcare access, criminal justice reform, and civil rights.

A Legacy of Organizing and Advocacy

For decades, Rev. Haynes has been on the frontlines of the fight for voting rights in Texas — a state where voter suppression and attacks on democracy are ongoing. He has mobilized thousands of Texans to participate in elections, advocated for expanded ballot access, and worked to ensure communities of color are heard and represented.

His leadership extends beyond the ballot box. Rev. Haynes has consistently spoken out for:

  • Economic justice and living wages
  • Expanded access to affordable healthcare
  • Criminal justice reform
  • Civil rights protections
  • Investment in underserved communities

Through faith-based organizing and coalition-building, he has demonstrated that moral clarity and political courage can move people into action.

A Voice for Working Families in Washington

Rev. Haynes is running for Congress because he believes working families in TX-30 deserve bold, accountable leadership that will fight for healthcare, good-paying jobs, and equal justice under the law — not corporate PAC money and political insiders.

At a time when billionaire influence threatens our democracy and too many politicians hesitate to challenge entrenched power, Rev. Haynes brings a lifetime of fearless advocacy. His campaign is grounded in community, faith, and a deep commitment to justice.

Our Revolution exists to elect leaders who will stand with the people and confront systems that prioritize profit over human dignity. Rev. Freddie Haynes embodies that mission.

We are proud to stand with him in this race.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Vikki Goodwin for Texas Lt. Governor

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rep. Vikki Goodwin for Lieutenant Governor of Texas — a four-term progressive leader with deep roots in public service and a powerful record of fighting for working families.

Vikki currently represents House District 47, covering Austin’s communities and the Lake Travis area. As Whip of the TX Legislative Progressive Caucus, she has shown a deep understanding of how budgets impact everyday Texans’ lives.

As Lt. Governor, we know she will continue to be a champion for strong public education, expanded healthcare, housing affordability, and our environmental infrastructure like water and energy systems. These are the leaders we need at every level of government.

A lifelong Texan and small business owner, Vikki brings real-world experience to her policy priorities. She’s also a proud community advocate and coalition builder, and her vision puts people first and stands in stark contrast to decades of leadership that has failed to invest in Texans’ futures.

The office of Lieutenant Governor in Texas holds great power over the state Senate and the legislative agenda — meaning this race matters. With lives and livelihoods on the line, especially in education, housing, and healthcare, we need leaders like Vikki who will fight for working people and democratic accountability.

Early voting for the Democratic primary is underway through Election Day March 3.

When we organize, we win — and with champions like Vikki Goodwin, Texas can move toward a future that works for all of us.

Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner — a rancher and longtime community organizer, he has dedicated his life to challenging corporate influence in agriculture and fighting for economic justice across the state.

He also serves as President of the Texas Progressive Caucus and has worked as a fair trade organizer, taking on powerful interests that ship jobs overseas and rig the rules against working families.

Clayton’s vision for the Agriculture Commissioner’s office is clear: make food and farming affordable, protect water and land resources, support sustainable and regenerative practices, and ensure that family farmers and ranchers — not big agribusiness monopolies — thrive in Texas.

His deep ties to grassroots movements — including his history of organizing with Our Revolution Texas — show that Clayton doesn’t just talk about people-powered change, he lives it.

A Vision for Texas Agriculture That Puts People First

As Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton Tucker will bring a people-centered agenda to an office too often dominated by corporate agribusiness interests. His priorities include:

  • Supporting small and mid-sized farms over corporate monocultures
  • Expanding access to healthy, affordable food in rural and urban communities
  • Defending farmworkers’ rights and labor protections
  • Promoting regenerative, climate-smart farming practices
  • Challenging corporate influence and oligarchic control over Texas agriculture policy
  • Ensuring fair markets and competition for family farmers and ranchers

Clayton understands that agricultural policy isn’t just about crops and cattle — it’s about food security, environmental sustainability, rural economic development, and justice for the people who work the land.

Our Movement, Our Fight

In endorsing Clayton Tucker, Our Revolution is backing a candidate who represents the heart of people-powered politics: leaders who organize with communities, fight for structural change, and refuse corporate PAC money.

Texas deserves an Agriculture Commissioner who will stand up to agribusiness monopolies, defend the rights and livelihoods of small farmers and farmworkers, and work every day to ensure that our food and land policies serve the people — not just the powerful.

Clayton Tucker is that leader — and we are proud to stand with him. Election Day is March 3.

When we organize, we win.

nettles fort worth victory

 

In Fort Worth, we’re putting our support behind Chris Nettles in his run for re-election to City Council in District 8.

Chris understands that local government must meet the needs of Fort Worth’s growing population — working to  expand public transportation, increase affordable housing, and grow the number of good-paying jobs.

He’s also developed a 3-step plan to help the houseless population, providing direct resources for health, skills training, and support for long-term stability.
