List of Democratic Socialists of America public officeholders

Last updated

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a political nonprofit organization, not a political party. Therefore, DSA members and endorsees usually run as members of the Democratic Party, Green Party, Working Families Party, or as independents.[ citation needed ] In the 2017 elections, DSA members were elected to fifteen state and local offices. [1] In the 2018 midterm elections, DSA members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib were elected to the United States House of Representatives [2] and DSA members were elected to over forty state and local offices. [3] In the 2020 elections, DSA members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush were elected to the House [4] and at least thirty-six DSA members won office, earning more than 3.1 million votes. [5]

Contents

Both national DSA and local DSA chapters can endorse candidates. DSA has no membership requirements, so anyone can join DSA. [6] In January 2024, DSA said over 200 elected officials were affiliated with DSA. [7] The list below contains 212 such officials, including national endorsees, local endorsees, and non-endorsed members.

For reasons known only to himself, he joined DSA — anyone can join the organization. DSA's open membership policy makes the distinction between being a self-selecting member and a group-endorsed politician especially salient and critical. Neither Thanedar's local chapter nor the national organization ever endorsed his campaign. Searches for his name on the organization's local and national websites turn up nothing; they've never touted his membership, a pointed omission given that he's a sitting US congressman. [....] Thanedar personally escorted Prime Minister Modi to Congress for the address. Unsurprisingly, Thanedar's local branch of DSA voted to expel him from the organization in September.
