Democrats just won a historic victory. But if party leaders think that means they get to keep doing things the same old way, they haven't been paying attention.
We asked Our Revolution members who should lead in this new era. 73% said Chuck Schumer is NOT the right person to lead Senate Democrats. And 51% said the same about Hakeem Jeffries in the House.
That's a clear message from the grassroots: we need an open, public debate about where the Democratic Party goes from here, and contested, transparent elections to decide who leads the party.
Millions of us organized, volunteered, knocked doors, made calls, and fought to win back the House and Senate and elect a new generation of progressives. WE did the work to win — delivering a clear mandate for change. WE should have a say in who leads the party.
SIGN NOW: Tell Democrats there must be an open, competitive leadership election — no coronations, no backroom deals.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Democrats have a chance to take on Trump's corruption, challenge corporate power, lower costs for working families, and deliver the bold agenda voters are demanding.
But that will take leaders willing to fight — not leaders who expect to keep their jobs simply because they've held them before.
The day after the polls closed, Schumer announced: "I'll be reelected as Majority Leader."
It’s not his call to make.
And this isn't just about Schumer or Jeffries. It's about whether the party's direction will be decided by a handful of insiders or by a real democratic process that gives every member of Congress a voice and every faction of the party a chance to make its case.
We need a real leadership contest, not locked rooms, secret ballots, and predetermined outcomes.
Our Revolution is organizing to make sure this historic moment doesn't get squandered — and that the people who powered this victory have a voice in what comes next.
SIGN NOW: Demand open, competitive leadership elections in both the House and Senate.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
