Fresh off winning over 75% of our endorsed races last week, we are pleased to announce several more major victories for our endorsed candidates against the corporate establishment!
Our Revolution Maryland helped propel 36-year-old progressive Brandon Scott to victory in a tight race for Baltimore mayor that was dominated by Democratic machine candidates implicated in corruption scandals.
Brandon emerged as a community leader during the 2015 protests over Freddie Gray's death at the hands of the police — and our shared message of reforming the criminal justice system and bringing good jobs and educational opportunities to impoverished communities won the day.
Brandon’s victory is proof that grassroots organizing can defeat the establishment and usher in a NEW GENERATION of progressive champions. Can we count on you to chip in now to help Our Revolution take on the Democratic machine in tough races across the country?

Brandon’s win wasn’t the only exciting news coming out of Baltimore.
We helped Bill Henry win his race for Baltimore City Comptroller in a huge upset against an incumbent who hadn’t had a serious challenger in over two decades despite facing scrutiny over financial scandals.
And we powered the re-election victories of two progressive city councilors — Zeke Cohen and Ryan Dorsey — who will be critical allies of Brandon Scott as he seeks to positively transform the city.
Zeke faced a challenger who raked in money from real estate developers and donors with ties to the right-wing Sinclair media group. Ryan has led the charge in the city council on tackling systemic racial oppression and he will play a major role in the fight ahead.

Meanwhile, in West Virginia, one of our own organizers, Selina Vickers, won her primary election!
Selina has worked in and outside of the West Virginia Democratic Party for years and is committed to reforming it for the better.
She has pledged not to take any corporate money in her election — something that, sadly, many of her fellow Democrats haven’t done yet — and is running a clean, small-donor campaign.
Donate here to support Our Revolution endorsed candidates as they fearlessly stand up to the corporate establishment and demand racial and economic justice!
In solidarity,
The whole team at Our Revolution
