“Progressives have taken a look at how to be strategic and how to build power,” said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants who was a leading national voice for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential bids. “If you look around and you say, ‘Who is ready to run for president?’ If your field is shallow, what do you have to do? You’ve got to build the bench.
“Let’s take this bold progressive movement around these United States of America,” Johnson said in his victory speech. “We’re building power, bottom up, city by city,” Geevarghese said, adding that “in major metropolitan areas you’ve got credible progressive slates vying for power against the Democratic establishment.”
But there are more opportunities ahead. In the nation’s fourth-largest city of Houston, Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who has been an outspoken progressive in Congress since she got there in 1995, is running for mayor.Progressive champion Rep. Barbara Lee and fellow Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who was a vocal supporter of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren‘s progressive campaign for president in 2020, are among those running to replace retiring California Sen.
