of progressive champions up and down the ballot.

The grassroots sent a clear message to the Democratic
establishment that they are demanding transformational change,
not incrementalism. In New York, Jamaal Bowman took on an
entrenched incumbent -- on support in 2018, easily secured her
primary win. Mondaire Jones' lead in his congressional race
portends a meaningful victory for the idea that government should
work for everyone, not just the wealthy few. Our Revolution also
supported several candidates in the New York state legislature
who are celebrating primary victories.
