2026 PRIMARY CANDIDATES

Justin Pearson is not afraid to fight the status quo for his constituents, and he has the receipts to prove it. Pearson was famously expelled from the Tennessee State Legislature for fighting for gun restrictions after a Tennessee school shooting (and immediately got re-elected with overwhelming support). We need to ensure that a new generation of fighters are elected. Pearson represents a growing population that is hungry for deep transformation.

Kat Abughazaleh is breaking through by leveraging her digital reach and unapologetic economically progressive vision to mobilize younger and previously disengaged voters. She is  directly challenging authoritarianism and the political establishment. Through a campaign centered on mutual aid and deep community organizing that meets real human needs, Kat is on the cutting edge of how to run an engaging, informative, and relational campaign.

James Talarico has an amazing ability to pull in folks of all walks of life across the political spectrum without watering down his progressive policies or dismissing marginalized communities. He believes that wealth inequality and corruption by corporations and billionaires is the problem that every voter should unite behind. In his past work as a teacher and a pastor, Talarico has seen how our current system doesn't work for the working class. He's committed to long term organizing for systemic changes to our health care and immigration.

Rob Sand is fighting the self-dealing wealthy as Iowa’s State Auditor. So much so that the wealthy voted to de-power his office. He’s traveled to 99 counties in Iowa to kick off his campaign, talking face-to-face with working people everywhere and catalyzing volunteers. As a wealthy person himself, he builds a broad coalition of voters working across the political divide.

Jon Ossoff represents the future of the Democratic Party because he delivers results, not just rhetoric. He understands that protecting democracy goes beyond old and tired talking points, that free and fair elections require confronting corruption. He's led efforts to lower prescription drug prices, protect and expand access to affordable health care, hold powerful corporations accountable for price-gouging working people, and work to ban stock trading by members of Congress. Ossoff carries forward a legacy of moral courage and accountability, pairing bold, people-first policy with principled leadership that points toward the future of the Democratic Party.

Randy Villegas is proof that you don’t have to water down your values to compete in a toss-up district - you can lead with them. His campaign centers working families: expanding healthcare access, raising wages, and putting everyday people ahead of corporate interests. In a race where a Republican is almost certain to claim one of the two general election spots, it’s not enough to simply have a “D” next to your name. CA-22 deserves a Democrat who will fight relentlessly for the district and deliver real results for working people. Randy Villegas is ready to do exactly that.

Common Power will be supporting Chris Taylor to expand the court’s liberal majority to a decisive 5–2. Securing this supermajority is essential to building a durable firewall for reproductive freedom and workers’ rights, ensuring fair congressional maps, and safeguarding the integrity of the 2028 election.

In 2020, Chris was appointed to the Dane County Circuit Court, and she was elected to that position the following year. In 2023, Judge Taylor was elected by voters in twenty-four counties to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, where she currently sits.

We're supporting christian in the TX primary runoff

We're helping shawn harris flip a deep republican seat!

Georgia’s 13th Congressional District is one of Georgia’s only strong blue districts, and it currently is held by a representative that hasn’t voted in the last 7 elections. Jasmine Clark is the candidate who is finally standing up to David Scott, and is the candidate that Atlanta needs and deserves. She’s a powerhouse who was able to flip a Republican seat in the State Legislature by leading a campaign surrounding common sense values, and she’s bringing her talents to Congress. Clark has a clear understanding of the needs in Georgia across all issues, and actually gets shit done.

Minnesota is at the heart of ICE’s persecution of immigrants, and it is vital that we have a Senator who won’t give into the Trump administration. That is why we’re supporting Peggy Flanagan. Peggy has dedicated her career to uplift marginalized communities, and as Lieutenant Gov. she has been working directly with Governor Walz in fighting ICE and authoritarianism. She is also the only candidate who is not taking Corporate PAC Money, making her the only candidate who isn’t allowing big money to persuade her decisions that would affect thousands of people. Flanagan is a proven fighter against authoritarianism, and she is the candidate Minnesota needs.
