NEWS FROM THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION HEADLINES: Meet Our Candidates | Establishment vs Progressives | Primaries Underway! | Tom Steyer Talks to Our Members | Exciting New Endorsements | CPC Affordability Agenda | & MORE! ★ ★ ★  The 2026 primaries are happening right now. The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Dark money is flooding our elections. And the Democratic establishment is intervening in key races to try to block the very progressives we need to win. But here’s what they’re missing: the energy is on our side. Across the country, we’re seeing it firsthand as we hit the streets to get out the vote for a new generation of candidates who have stepped up — inspired by Bernie and ready to fight for real change. See all of our endorsed candidates here!  Yes, we’re working to elect bold progressives to Congress. But Our Revolution is also doing something no one else is: building power from the ground up. This is how we build the bench. We stood with some of the candidates below when they first ran for school board, and now they’re running for mayor, state senate, and beyond. These are movement candidates — rejecting corporate money, building grassroots momentum, and generating the energy we’ll need to defeat MAGA in November. We’ve shown we can put millions in the streets — now we need to get millions out the vote. If you can, chip in a donation of any amount to help us call, text, and knock doors ahead of election day. ★ ★ ★ ELECT PROGRESSIVES
★ ★ ★ On Monday, candidates from some of the top races in the country joined our LIVE National Organize to Win Town Hall to speak directly with our movement about what it will take to win.  While we’ve never endorsed a billionaire before, Tom Steyer is running to deliver on our top progressive priorities — including Medicare for All, taxing extreme wealth, and taking on ICE and utility monopolies — with a focus on making California affordable for working people.  He has been a partner to the movement, investing in climate advocacy and grassroots organizing while taking on corporate power. As Tom told our members, “We can’t nibble around the edges — we have to take on the system head-on and deliver real change for working people.” See our full slate of California endorsements here! JOIN OUR PHONEBANK TEAM TO ELECT BOLD PROGRESSIVES! ★ ★ ★  On the call, Janeese Lewis George talked about her run for Mayor of Washington, D.C. and what it will mean to lead the nation’s capital while Trump occupies the city. As a DC Council member and proud democratic socialist, Janeese has built her career by fighting for universal childcare, social housing, labor protections, and making the city affordable — in a race where corporate developers and establishment forces are lining up against her. As Janeese told our members, “If we want to protect our communities, we need leadership that won’t back down — even when the pressure is coming straight from the White House.” ★ ★ ★  Eric Jones talked on the organizing call Monday about his campaign for Congress in CA-04 — and why it’s time to challenge decades of status quo leadership. Running in Napa Valley against a 27-year Democratic incumbent, Eric is stepping up to take on corporate power and deliver real results for working families. An entrepreneur and nonprofit founder, he’s focused on cutting everyday costs, expanding affordable childcare and elder care, and putting money back in people’s pockets — while holding corporations like PG&E accountable and pushing for stronger wildfire prevention. As Eric told our members, “This district deserves leadership that’s willing to take on corruption and fight for working people — not protect the system that’s failing them.” ★ ★ ★  On the call, we were also proud to endorse Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District. A former Secretary of State and Bernie 2016 co-chair, Matt has spent decades defending voting rights — including taking on Trump’s voter suppression commission — and fighting for real economic justice.  But as Matt shared with our members, even after his opponent (Jared Golden, the most conservative Democrat in Congress) stepped aside, Hakeem Jeffries and the DCCC rushed to endorse another candidate rather than support a proven progressive. That’s fine — Matt is building a powerful grassroots campaign and leading the polls with our movement at his back. ★ ★ ★  We’re also proud to endorse Aisha Wahab for Congress in CA-04. Born to Afghan refugees, Aisha made history as the first Muslim elected to the California State Senate — now she’s running to bring bold leadership to Washington as she takes on the establishment in an open race to replace disgraced Eric Swalwell.  Backed by leaders like Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar, and Maxwell Frost, Aisha is building a strong grassroots campaign focused on affordability and housing in one of the most expensive regions in the country. As she told our members, this race is about whether the district elects a real progressive who will fight for people — or more of the same politics that put corporate interests first. ★ ★ ★  On the call, Our Revolution ally Brandee Marckmann talked about why San Francisco needs to stop treating public schools like a budget problem and start investing in them as the foundation of strong communities. As a community organizer, Brandee has been on the frontlines defending public education — founding the SF Education Alliance to push back against privatization and fight for schools that serve all students. She’s running to support educators, expand equity, and build community-driven schools that work for working families — not corporate interests. ★ ★ ★ MORE NEW ENDORSEMENTS! ★ ★ ★  Big Tech billionaires are pouring money into politics to stop regulation and protect their power. Alex Bores is one of the few politicians actually taking them on — and he has our support for Congress in NY-12. A leader on some of the strongest AI accountability legislation in the country, Alex is fighting for a future where technology serves people — not corporate monopolies and billionaires.  He’s running on a bold agenda to take on concentrated wealth, political corruption, and corporate power — and bring a new generation of progressive leadership to Congress. Check out more New York endorsements here. ★ ★ ★  For decades, this Georgia Congress seat has been represented by the status quo. Now voters have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send a new generation of progressive leadership to Congress with Everton Blair for Congress in GA-13. A former teacher and school board chair, Everton is running to fight for working families — with a bold agenda centered on Medicare for All, affordable housing, childcare, fully funded public schools, and good-paying jobs. As Everton told our movement: “GA-13 deserves representation that will fight to put people over profit at every turn. Now is our time.” ★ ★ ★ ACTION CENTER
★ ★ ★ NEW AFFORDABILITY AGENDA  Last week, Our Revolution activists joined Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuy Garcia, Greg Casar, and other leaders in the Congressional Progressive Caucus to launch a bold new Affordability Agenda. This is exactly the kind of platform Democrats should be running on in 2026 — and passing into law in 2027. From lowering prescription drug prices and childcare costs to taking on corporate price gouging and utility monopolies, this agenda is about putting money back in people’s pockets and taking power away from billionaires. At a time when families are being squeezed, we’re standing with leaders who are fighting for real solutions — not more politics as usual. ★ ★ ★  Nine courageous activists put their bodies on the line and were arrested in the fight to hold politicians accountable this week as we wrapped up the March on Harrisburg. Our Revolution was proud to join the 4-day march from Reading, PA to the State Capital, where we addressed press and voices echoed the call: Which side are you on? Working people are struggling to get by while billionaires buy influence with massive checks, lavish gifts, and secret Super PAC money. We marched to say enough is enough: Stop the billionaire bribes and pass a ban on political ‘gifts.’ ★ ★ ★  TELL DEMS: NO OLIGARCH MONEY IN PRIMARIES Ultra-rich powerbrokers are flooding the primaries with corporate cash from AI, Crypto, and AIPAC. Our movement candidates are rejecting dark and corporate money, but we need the Democratic Party to stand with us. Add your name to demand a ban on Dark Money in ALL Democratic primaries in 2026! ★ ★ ★  Our Revolution is focused on building grassroots power to Fight Trump & the Oligarchs with our 3 Point Strategy:
★ ★ ★  Big Money from AIPAC, AI, and Crypto is pouring in against our endorsed candidates because they’re taking a stand against corporate power and endless war. Their money can only go so far. We can out-organize the special interests by talking directly to voters. Join our crew to make some calls into these key races and help progressives win the primaries! ★ ★ ★ MIDTERMS MERCH!  The 2026 midterms are pivotal to take power back from Trump and the oligarchs who have rigged our economy and captured our democracy. All of our candidates reject dark and corporate PAC money — and they’ve all taken the pledge to Fight Oligarchy in office. These are the kinds of fighters we need to win. ★ ★ ★  ★ ★ ★ |
