List of Democratic Socialists of America public officeholders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Democratic Socialists of America 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.[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]

As of January 2024, there are "over 200 elected officials" affiliated with DSA.[6]
