From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following American politicians are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and have held elected or appointed office in the United States . The DSA is a political nonprofit organization and not a political party, therefore DSA members usually run as members of the Democratic Party , Green Party , Working Families Party , or as independents .
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]
In 2021, DSA members largely took control of the Nevada Democratic Party , as the Las Vegas DSA-endorsed Progressive Slate won all five party positions in the party elections held that year.[6] [7] Four of the candidates on the winning slate are DSA members.[8]
