His office has consistently won judgments against corporations that engage in wage-theft and other labor violations, and has also held corporate landlords accountable for a range of abusive practices, all the while dealing with a federal government that is actively hostile to the District’s independence. Through this work, Schwalb has positioned D.C. as a city that puts the interests of working people ahead of those of corporate monopolies.

Her office has also played a key part in advancing new legislation in New York aimed at reining in deceptive business practices and preventing Big Tech platforms from using their power to addict children. James has shown that when the federal government consistently fails to rein in corporate power and protect working families, states can more than make up the difference.
Jane Kim for California Insurance Commissioner
Jane Kim has spent her career fighting to hold powerful institutions accountable and deliver for working families.

Now running for Insurance Commissioner, she has made confronting harmful industry practices a central focus of her campaign—arguing that rising premiums, coverage denials, and market exits demand stronger oversight and a regulator willing to stand up to corporate interests. Kim has proposed bold reforms to rein in excessive profits and expand access to coverage, including by providing natural disaster coverage for all California residents. Kim is committed to ensuring the insurance system works for Californians rather than large companies, positioning the office as a platform to take on corporate power and deliver real relief for families.

With more than two decades in public service, she has served under three U.S. Presidents and four Navajo Nation Presidents, holding senior roles at the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Department of Commerce.

After hearing firsthand from rural Arizonans facing 40 to 60 percent hikes in their utility bills, Hill has made holding the Commission accountable to ratepayers central to his mission.

Upon taking office, he immediately broke a decades-long corporate consensus by challenging the state’s utility monopoly, voting against Georgia Power’s bloated energy budgets, and demanding deeper accountability for corporate spending. Now running for re-election, Hubbard has centered his platform on rejecting rubber-stamped rate hikes, shielding families from increasing power bills, and steering Georgia toward a transparent, affordable, and consumer-first energy marketplace.

Through her work and campaign, Edwards is fighting to secure a consumer-first majority on the Commission that prioritizes economic fairness, rigorous regulatory oversight, and public transparency over utility shareholder returns.
David Seligman For Colorado Attorney General
David Seligman has spent his career using the law to fight for workers and families and against corporate abuse. He is the executive director and former litigation counsel at Towards Justice, where he has initiated groundbreaking cases against the world’s most dominant corporations, including Amazon, Uber and Lyft, as well as large retailers and corporate landlords, to ensure that workers have a fair voice in the workplace, that consumers aren’t subjected to abusive fees or illegal price-fixing, and that consumers aren’t faced with unlawful debt collection practices.

Now running for the legislature, he has made taking on corporate power and special interest influence a central focus of his campaign. Mukunda has called for banning corporate money in politics and rooting out policies that allow dominant corporations to exploit consumers, from insurance industry influence that inflates car insurance premiums, to private equity firms buying up HOA management companies and raising fees on residents. He has also made ending algorithmic pricing a priority, contending that Maryland should lead the way in stopping AI-driven surveillance pricing. Through his work in the community and on the campaign trail, Mukunda has positioned himself as a voice for ensuring Maryland’s economy works for families and local communities, not corporate monopolies that have rigged it against them.
