I Endorse Oliver Larkin for Congress


I am endorsing Oliver Larkin for Congress in Florida’s 23rd district.

He is a former Bernie Sanders 2016 organizer running on Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage, democracy reform, and refusing corporate PAC money. He has also spent years organizing and advocating in South Florida, which matters in a race like this.

More importantly, he is willing to make a direct, unapologetic case for progressive politics at a moment when too many Democrats are content to accommodate corporate power and drift right. We need more candidates who are actually willing to fight for working people instead of trimming their politics to fit donor expectations.

He is the FAR better choice in this race, and he has my endorsement.

Chris Rabb for Congress.

This is Endorsement #17 for Chris Rabb, running in Pennsylvania’s 3rd District (PA‑03). Primary: May 19, 2026.

Rabb is a five-term state representative. He’s running to put community over commerce and confront the danger concentrated wealth poses to self-government.

If you’re in PA‑03 — or you want to send another unbought progressive fighter to Congress — donate, volunteer, and share.

Endorsement: Junaid Ahmed for Congress (IL‑08) — 2026 Primary

Junaid Ahmed for Congress.


This is Endorsement #16 — for Junaid Ahmed, running for Congress in Illinois’ 8th Congressional District (IL‑08).

Election note: Illinois’ primary is Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

I’m backing Ahmed because he’s running a people-powered campaign that says no corporate or special-interest money, while centering priorities like healthcare as a human right, quality education, and an economy that works for all of us.

His story also adds weight to the campaign: he’s the son of an immigrant father, built a tech business in Illinois, and helped launch Chi-Care during the pandemic to deliver hot meals and survival supplies to unhoused neighbors.


Why this endorsement

  • Unbought campaign. Ahmed says the campaign is 100% by the people and rejects corporate or special-interest money.
  • Material, working-class priorities. He’s running on healthcare as a human right, stronger economic security, quality education, and protecting Social Security and Medicare.
  • Service-rooted candidacy. Chi-Care and his broader community work make this feel grounded in real-world needs, not just consultant language.
  • Strong progressive coalition. His endorsers include Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Chuy Garcia, Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, Delia Ramirez, Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, Sunrise Movement, and End Citizens United.

If you’re in IL‑08 — or you want to back more unapologetically people-powered candidates — donate, volunteer, and share.
