2026 Endorsed Candidates
Jon Ossoff
Senior U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia is one of the first senate candidates the SU4W PAC supported and is currently being considered for support again as he runs for re-election. In his last election in 2020, Ossoff, along with junior Sen. Raphael Warnock, set new “firsts” for Georgia, as Ossoff was the first Jewish […]
James Talarico
Could Texas Might Be Headed Towards Change With James Talarico? Texas state representative James Talarico has taken a risky approach in his campaign for the U.S. Senate. That approach is to openly discuss, and to campaign, based on his religious beliefs. This year, a progressive campaign openly based on religious values may succeed, and it […]
Mary Peltola
Former representative Mary Peltola has consistently proven that “working-class values” are more than just a campaign slogan. They are a way of life. As she officially launches her 2026 bid for the U.S. Senate, her campaign is gaining momentum as a champion for the people who keep Alaska running. The Stand Up For Workers PAC […]
Josh Turek
Iowa Rep. Josh Turek tells a story about how he approaches voters, and he has a video to prove it. Turek has a lifelong disability as a result of spinal bifida. When he approaches a voter’s home, he climbs out of his wheelchair, scoots up the home’s steps, pulls the wheelchair behind him, places himself back in […]
Troy Jackson
Election success in Maine can be deceptively challenging. While outsiders are often most familiar with the winter sports resorts in the mountains or vacation hotspots along the coast (including Bath, where the Iron Works has long benefitted from incumbent Susan Collins’ clout), much of Maine is rural with many towns near the poverty line. Because of this, it’s critical for political candidates to adjust their messages to appeal to small farmers, itinerant loggers, and other agricultural […]
Sherrod Brown
Stand Up For Workers is proud to endorse Senator Sherrod Brown from Nevada, who is running for reelection in the U.S. Senate. Since 2007, he has been a champion for middle-class families in the Senate. He has dedicated his life to fighting for Ohioans and the Dignity of Work, believing that hard work should pay […]
Aftyn Behn
Why is Aftyn Behn running for Congress? “I’m a pissed-off social worker in the South,” Tenn. State Representative Behn explained to CNN’s Audie Cornish. “I think for me, it’s a moment where people are angry, I’m angry. I’m upset that my constituents are losing their benefits. I’m upset that people are struggling to afford the […]
Dan Osborn
Nebraska-based Senate Candidate Dan Osborn is running on a working-class platform centered on protecting unions, raising wages, defending Social Security, expanding paid leave, supporting the PRO Act, and pushing back against billionaire influence in politics. A Navy veteran, mechanic, and former union leader, Osborn has built his campaign around restoring power to workers and bringing independent, people-first leadership to Washington. […]
Chris Pappas
Democrat Chris Pappas, a candidate for the U.S. Senate for the New Hampshire seat being vacated by Sen. Jean Shaheen, has had an impressive political career thus far. He has kept to a moderate path on many issues, but his voting record on legislation supported by the Stand Up for Workers PAC and his near-100% […]
