Erika Uyterhoeven, Daniel Lander for Massachusetts State Senate
Our Revolution is proud to endorse two great progressives for Massachusetts State Senate: Erika Uyterhoeven in the 2nd Middlesex District and Daniel Lander in the Suffolk & Middlesex District.
We need progressives in the State Senate who are ready to challenge entrenched power, make Massachusetts more affordable, and turn our shared values into action.
Erika Uyterhoeven has already shown she knows how to do exactly that.
A three-term State Representative, former antitrust economist, and daughter of immigrants, Erika has earned a reputation as a fighter for transparency and working people.
She helped force Beacon Hill votes into the open — and used that transparency to help stop legislation benefiting corporate polluters. When a $37 million corporate tax break was slipped into a supplemental budget, Erika helped mobilize legislators, unions, and community organizations to defeat it.
And her record of delivering goes much further.
Erika helped win paid family and medical leave, supported the Fair Share Amendment that put a surtax on incomes over $1 million to fund schools and transportation, helped protect abortion access after the fall of Roe, and wrote legislation ending the predatory practice of forcing renters to pay broker fees for brokers they didn’t hire.
Now she’s running for State Senate to take that fight even further — lowering energy bills while investing in clean energy, protecting immigrant communities from federal overreach, strengthening reproductive justice, and making Beacon Hill more accountable to the people.
Erika knows how to take on powerful interests — and win.
Daniel Lander is running because he believes Massachusetts can do better, too.
Daniel grew up in the Suffolk & Middlesex district and has spent his career fighting for justice and stronger communities. His work has ranged from helping wrongfully convicted people rebuild their lives and working with families on the future of their neighborhoods to fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. He has also worked alongside progressive leaders including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Stacey Abrams, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
Now he wants to bring that experience to Beacon Hill.
Daniel is running straight at Massachusetts’ affordability crisis.
Daniel wants to invest in affordable social housing, fix out-of-date regulations, and protect renters. He also wants to transform public transportation with 24-hour bus service, expand Bluebikes, and make regional rail a reality.
He’s also ready to stand up to the Trump administration — including fighting to keep ICE out of schools and protecting Massachusetts’ universities, workers, and knowledge economy.
Daniel’s campaign is rooted in the belief that government should solve problems for ordinary people. Whether it’s making housing affordable, improving the T, or making it easier to open a neighborhood restaurant or small business, Daniel’s running to make Massachusetts a place where working people can build a good life.
Progressive power isn’t built only in Washington. It’s built state by state and community by community — by electing leaders willing to challenge corporate power, stand with working people, and turn progressive ideas into policies that directly improve people’s lives.
Erika Uyterhoeven has already demonstrated what that kind of leadership can accomplish. Daniel Lander is ready to bring new energy and a progressive vision to the State Senate.
Together, they represent an opportunity to make Beacon Hill bolder, more accountable, and more responsive to the people it serves.
Let’s send two progressive fighters to the Massachusetts State Senate.
When we organize, we win.
