Congratulations, Ruwa!! Ruwa is a next-generation leader fighting against data center construction, burgeoning healthcare and utility costs, and landlord greed. She has a track record of success and will always serve Georgians, not corporations and special interests.
Tonight, a 26-year-old progressive beat a wealthy, establishment-backed, Democrat-in-name-only candidate. Voters knew that they couldn’t trust a man who voted for Greg Abbott to stand up against MAGA and deliver for working families. Congratulations, Julio!!

Excited to endorse 4 new state legislature candidates! These candidates have strong track records of leadership already and are best equipped to fight back against Republicans rigging our elections. They aren’t going to “wait their turn” while our generation’s future is at stake.
Jyot Singh won his primary with a platform to make Gwinnett affordable, prioritize people over profits, and stand against the encroachment of civil rights by the federal government. An organizer and civil rights advocate, Jyot will fight for Georgians and deliver.
Tonight, Tim Hayes received more votes than the Republican incumbent he’s challenging, showing strong Dem energy to flip the seat in November! Tim is a member of the PA National Guard and has reduced wasteful spending + invested in Dublin as President of the local council.
@bentleyforus.bsky.social has secured $30k to curb gun violence, helped 20,000 Georgians get COVID vaccines, and led initiatives to register hundreds of voters. They’ve fought relentlessly for their community and will help build progressive power in Georgia – congrats, Bentley!
Proud to endorse 5 new candidates in state legislature races! They represent incredible opportunities to flip districts, fight Republican gerrymandering, and put proven progressive leadership in pivotal states like North Carolina, Missouri, Arizona, and Georgia.
Trevor, Jane, and Tim are already incredible organizers and leaders within their communities. Now, they have the opportunity to flip state legislative chambers, protect Democratic control, and build a bench of young talent in red states like Florida. We're proud to endorse them!
Congratulations, Nabeela Syed!! In the IL House, Nabeela has passed bills to cap prescription drug costs, expand breast cancer screening, and make voting more accessible to young people – proving that young leaders get it done. Let’s go flip IL-SD-26!
LFG @demiforillinois.bsky.social!! Dark money groups bet big against Demi. They outspent her, and they LOST. Leaders We Deserve is proud to back a progressive fighter like Demi.
