We believe power belongs to we the people - not just the wealthy and the powerful
The 2024 election is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Across the country, MAGA Republicans are working to roll back our rights and undermine our democracy. In 2024, we're backing bold, progressive champions who will help us keep Donald Trump out of the White House and his MAGA cronies out of power.
People For is 100% behind Kamala Harris
Vice President Harris will continue to build on the enormous successes of the past four years and help lead us into an even brighter future, while the Trump-Vance MAGA movement wants to take us backwards. A President Harris will ensure we have an America where our freedoms are strong and secure.

Arizona
Arizona is one of the most closely divided battleground states which could very well decide the fate of Donald Trump’s reelection bid, having gone for Joe Biden in 2020 by less than 0.5 percentage points. The stakes are also incredibly high in the Senate contest between Ruben Gallego, a proven progressive, Kari Lake, a Far Right election denier.
Ruben Gallego
People For's endorsement for Arizona's Senate Seat
“The stakes in this contest are incredibly high. Ruben Gallego is the right candidate to take on the far-right, election-denying Kari Lake and provide real representation for Arizonans in the Senate. We are proud to support him.” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Kirsten Engel
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Arizona District 6
“Kirsten Engel consistently stands up for working families,” said People For President Svante Myrick, “and she’ll continue to do so as a member of Congress. In Arizona, she’s committed to progressive issues that matter to her constituents like clean energy, water conservation, and ensuring Roe v. Wade is re-established as the law of the land. Her experience as a mom, an educator, and a legislator make her anthe ideal representative for Arizona.”
Florida
Debbie Murcasel-Powell
People For's endorsement for Florida's Senate Seat
“Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is a genuine fighter for the environment, safe communities, Medicare, and everyone’s access to quality, affordable healthcare, and that’s exactly the kind of progressive we need in the Senate,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She’s the right person to take on Rick Scott in Florida and show that Florida values are progressive values.”
Maryland
While Maryland has remained solidly Blue on the national map for decades, its electorate has proven to be a wildcard in many statewide races, with popular former Governor Larry Hogan’s reentry into politics shaking the political landscape. We’ll work to retain Democratic control of Maryland’s open seat and win close House races across the state.
Angela Alsobrooks
People For's endorsement for Maryland's Senate Seat
“From investing in education to expanding access to health care, Angela Alsobrooks has a proven track record of progressive action that improves real people’s lives. Angela is the right candidate for this critical Senate seat.” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Michigan
Michigan helped deliver the White House to Donald Trump in an upset in 2020–part of a crumbling “blue wall” in the upper Midwest. Joe Biden recaptured the state’s electoral votes in 2020, but the state is nowhere near a reliable bet in 2024. Furthermore, the retirement of Sen. Debbie Stabenow opens up a competitive seat, seeing Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D) vying against a likely Trump acolyte.
Elissa Slotkin
People For's endorsement for Michigan's Senate Seat
“Elissa Slotkin is a hard-working community servant, and she’ll bring a people focused agenda to the Senate,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She has dedicated her life to serving our country, working in the CIA where she served three tours in Iraq alongside the U.S. military and later at the White House, State Department, and the Pentagon. In Congress, she’s worked to address the cost of prescription drugs, create jobs, and get money out of politics. We know she’ll do the same in the Senate.”
Callie Barr
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Michigan District 1
“Callie Barr brings so many qualities to her candidacy that will make her an exceptional Representative,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She’s an attorney, a teacher, a mother, and a military wife, and she’s more than ready to defend our democracy in Congress
Curtis Hertel, Jr.
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Michigan District 7
“This battleground seat is key to winning a progressive majority in the House, and we know Curtis Hertel is up for the job,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “His strong stances on protecting voting rights, defending reproductive freedom, expandinggun safety, and investing in a green economy make him an ideal candidate and will serve him well in Congress.”
Kristen McDonald Rivet
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Michigan District 8
“Kristen McDonald Rivet has worked hard in the Michigan State Senate to build progress for Michigan workers, families, and kids,” said People For President Svante Myrick, “and she’ll do the same in Congress. She’s fought to protect abortion rights, and in one of her first acts in the State Senate, she helped pass a commonsense gun violence prevention bill. She has the progressive ideals and expertise we need in the House of Representatives.”
Carl Marlinga
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Michigan District 10
“Having served for almost 40 years as the Macomb County Prosecutor, an assistant US attorney, and a judge, Carl Marlinga has a record that shows just how valuable he’ll be as a progressive member of Congress,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “We know he’ll work tirelessly for his district and use his proven leadership to drive Congress toward a brighter, more progressive future.”
Ohio
Ohio has become largely uncompetitive for Democratic presidential candidates in recent cycles and has taken a sharp right turn at the state level as well. However, incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) has successfully weathered the rightward shift in his state with an unabashedly progressive, working families-oriented message. A loss for Brown would likely herald a Republican-controlled Senate next year, either denying Biden fair-minded judges or rubber-stamping Trump’s far right nominees for the federal courts–including a potential Supreme Court seat.
Sherrod Brown
People For's endorsement for Ohio's Senate Seat
“Sherrod Brown’s record in the Senate shows he’s a tireless advocate for Ohio’s working families. This seat is incredibly important as we work to strengthen the Senate as a bulwark against threats to our democracy. I’m confident Sherrod will be reelected by the Ohioans he has served so well,” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Greg Landsman
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Ohio District 1
“Greg Landsman has done a fantastic job since winning the redistricted seat in Ohio,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “He’s a former public school teacher, a dedicated family man, and he’s shown that he’ll champion what matters most –protecting freedoms and making life better for working families.”
Marcy Kaptur
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Ohio District 9
“Marcy is the longest serving woman in the House of Representatives, and her record proves her commitment to progressive values,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She’s leveraged her experience and seniority to fight for jobs, economic growth, infrastructure improvement, and much more, and we know she’ll continue to be a force for good in the House.”
Jerrad Christian
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Ohio District 12
“Jerrad Christian has an uphill battle in a heavily gerrymandered district, but we’re confident Ohioans will support him,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “Jerrad is running on putting people over profit, fighting climate change, combating disinformation, achieving universal healthcare, and protecting reproductive rights. He joined the Democratic party to oppose Trump, and we believe his talent and drive will make a difference.”
Emilia Sykes
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Ohio District 13
“The Akron-area district will be vital to building a progressive majority in the House, and Emilia Sykes has proven she’s up to the task,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “Since winning her seat in 2022, she’s focused on lowering costs for families, supporting workers’ rights, keeping our communities safe, protecting reproductive freedom, ensuring a clean environment, and ensuring access to quality affordable health care and education.”
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is highly competitive this year, with both the presidential and senatorial contests on the line. Pennsylvania is one of the former “blue wall” states that flipped for Trump in 2016 but narrowly returned to the blue column in 2020. The success of Gov. Josh Shapiro and Democrats in the legislature is promising, but the combination of a fervent Trump base and a likely stronger Republican senatorial candidate in Dave McCormick suggests that progressive wins here in 2024 are far from a safe bet.
Bob Casey
People For's endorsement for Pennsylvania's Senate Seat
“Bob Casey has been an advocate, a fighter, and a friend in the Senate. His reelection will be a key victory that will continue our forward momentum and help our country sustain the progress we’ve seen over the last four years.” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Susan Wild
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Pennsylvania District 7
“Susan Wild has been serving Pennsylvania in the House since 2019, and we’re proud to help her keep the momentum going for another term,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She was the first woman to represent this area in Congress, and she’s done a fantastic job advocating for equal justice in Pennsylvania and the nation.”
Texas
Texas has stubbornly remained in right-wing control in recent years, and will likely not be competitive in this year’s presidential election. However, incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz is up for reelection this year and only narrowly won his last race in 2018. The future of Texas–with its highly diverse and rapidly growing electorate–demands continued investment and organizing.
Colin Allred
People For's endorsement for Texas's Senate Seat
“Ted Cruz has been a disaster in the Senate, and there’s no one better suited for the fight to defeat him than Colin Allred. The people of Texas are tired of the divisiveness of Cruz. Colin has the honesty, the pragmatism, and the drive to do great things that Texas is looking for.” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Virginia
Virginia voted decisively against Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, but polling shows a closer race here than in previous years. Dissatisfaction with the incumbent president Joe Biden could scramble this race, and the election and enduring high approval ratings of Gov. Glenn Youngkin prove that the right wing is competitive in Virginia. The outcome of the 2024 election in the Commonwealth cannot be taken for granted.
Tim Kaine
People For's endorsement for Virginia's Senate Seat
“Tim has been dedicated to progressive values from his time as a civil rights lawyer to his work in the Senate. In this competitive environment, Tim Kaine has the experience and ideals we need in the Senate, and we’re proud to endorse him.” says People For President Svante Myrick.
Wisconsin
Wisconsin is another former “blue wall” state which is posting strong early polling numbers for Donald Trump–more so than most of the likely battleground states. In 2022, far right election denier and Trump loyalist Sen. Ron Johnson defeated a strong challenger in Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, proving that the authoritarian, anti-democratic right remains a powerful force in the state. Defeating Donald Trump and the GOP’s candidate for the Senate will require a hard-fought effort.
Tammy Baldwin
People For's endorsement for Wisconsin's Senate Seat
“Tammy Baldwin has been a fighter since her first days in the House to becoming the first openly LGBTQ+ Senator in history. She’s shown that her grassroots, Wisconsin values are her North Star, and Wisconsinites are well served by her representation and leadership.” says People For President Svante Myrick.

He’s the right person to take on corporate interests in Washington, push for term limits for Congress, and ensure working people have their voices heard."
Shomari Figures
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Alabama District 2
“Shomari Figures is a product of Montgomery’s deep civil rights legacy and has proven progressive values as the Domestic Director of Presidential Personnel in the Obama White House, White House Liaison at the Department of Justice, a Counsel in Congress, and much more,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “He also worked on the Biden-Harris transition team. His resume shows what an asset he’ll be in Congress, and we can’t wait to see him there.”
Sue Altman
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, New Jersey District 7
“Sue Altman is a dedicated opponent of political corruption, and it shows in her pledge to never accept any donations from corporate PACs,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “She’s also a staunch defender of women’s rights and abortion access. As conservative extremists attempt to further erode reproductive rights, we believe she’ll fight back in Congress and protect access to contraception, reproductive freedom, and women’s health.”
Steven Horsford
People For's endorsement for House of Representatives, Nevada District 4
“Since being elected to the Nevada State Senate in 2004, to becoming the youngest and first African American Majority Leader in Nevada history in 2008, to being elected to Congress for the first time in 2012, Steven Horsford has proven himself to be a true progressive leader,” said People For President Svante Myrick. “When he’s elected again, we know he’ll continue to help pass landmark legislation and improve the lives of people in Nevada and around the country.”
