List of Democratic Socialists of America public officeholders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by JesseRafe (talk | contribs) at 15:04, 28 November 2022 (Undid revision 1123410312 by 205.152.158.100 (talk) stretches the bounds of logic and grammar that someone can be serving "since" the future; this is a list of CURRENT office holders, note the completed perfect tense "have held", per WP:CRYSTAL do not add people who have not actually HELD that office until sworn in, no matter how probable they will be added to the list later). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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]
