A grassroots organization founded by Senator Bernie Sanders is adding clout to the campaigns of progressive candidates across New York City who will be formally endorsed at an Oct. 8 Get Out the Vote event.
Our Revolution will be backing 29 candidates, many of whom have already made their way through the June 23 Democratic primary and face little conservative opposition in their respective districts such as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, state Sen. Michael Gianaris and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou.
“We believe that change stars Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, state Sen. Michael Gianaris and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou at the local level, that is why we are proud to be endorsing scores of candidates to energize and mobilize voters throughout New York,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution. “Progressive voters are tired of politics as usual and want to see radical change in the White House, the State House and the halls of local government. This rally is just the beginning of our GOTV strategy to mobilize more voters and increase turnout for elections up and down the ballot to effect lasting positive change.”
