COMMON POWER
is proud to support
fighters. This isn’t politics of the past where our representatives can wheel and deal to a compromise. This is a battle to protect our liberty, rights, and quality of life. We need people in office who are not afraid of bringing passion and vision in spite of great opposition. We need those that break from tradition and willing to try new ways to reach voters and win. We need relatable, real people. We need people who stand on business and loud about it.
RAS BARAKA for NJ Governor
As the current mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has consistently demonstrated the courage, conviction, and leadership needed in this moment—especially as threats to democracy and justice grow more severe. Baraka hasn’t just spoken out against the corruptions of the Trump Administration—he’s taken action. From standing firm against federal overreach to openly opposing the inhumane actions of ICE (even being detained himself in protest), he shows what real resistance looks like. His leadership is rooted in bold, progressive values, whether it’s advancing a state budget grounded in equity or refusing to back down under political pressure. When we are less than 18 months away from the midterm elections, we need to think about what kind of Democrats we want to see. And we want to see more people like Ras Baraka.
Join us for an interview with Ras Baraka and our ED, Charles Douglas III on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 1:00-1:30pm PT.
GHAZALA HASHMI for VA Lieutenant Governor
A lifelong educator and dedicated public servant, Ghazala has spent her career fighting for the people—long before stepping into elected office during the first Trump Administration. Since her historic 2019 election to the Virginia State Senate, Ghazala has been on the front lines of every major fight for justice and equality in the Commonwealth. From defending voting rights and reproductive freedom to advocating for affordable housing and educational equity, she has never backed down in the face of MAGA extremism.
Her leadership is principled, courageous, and deeply rooted in service to community. We have proudly stood with Ghazala in every campaign she has run, and we’re honored to do so again now. With the backing of our longtime partner New Virginia Majority, it’s clear she has the coalition, values, and vision needed to advance transformative policies for all Virginians. We're all in.
DEJA FOXX for NJ Governor
In a highly contested race, May stands out as the more progressive candidate—championing reproductive rights, advocating for gun violence prevention, and promoting a more equitable economy. Just as importantly, she has earned the endorsement of our trusted partner at New Virginia Majority, whose deep-rooted knowledge of Virginia politics and long-term vision for justice and equity in the state align closely with ours. They believe May Nivar is the leader who can help bring that vision to life—and so do we.
MAY NIVAR for VA-57 House District
DEJA FOXX for US House AZ-07
Deja Foxx brings a fresh and passionate perspective to getting things done in politics. Deja comes with years of experience advocating and lobbying for some of the most important issues to her community including reproductive health care access and sex education. Deja was one of the youngest staffers on the Kamala Harris campaign leading Influencer media strategies. She is able to break through the noise and engage a new generation of voters that are coming into their political power, something that few others have been able to achieve. She is not afraid to criticize the Democrats to push for a stronger party that actually fights against the Trump administration. To create a change in this moment, we need candidates who break the mold. Deja Foxx is not a typical Democrat, and that’s exactly what we need.
