List of Democratic Socialists of America public officeholders

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a political nonprofit organization, not a political party with a ballot line. DSA members and endorsees usually run as members of the Democratic Party, and occasionally with the Green Party, Working Families Party, or as independents.^{[citation needed]}

Both national DSA and local DSA chapters can endorse candidates. DSA has no membership requirements, so anyone can join DSA.^[1]

The list below contains 212 individuals elected to public office who are endorsed by DSA National, endorsed by a DSA local chapter, or are members of DSA.

History

In the 2017 elections, DSA members were elected to 15 state and local offices,^[2] for a total of 35 members in office.^[3]

In April 2018, 40 DSA members held elected office.^[4] In the 2018 midterm elections, DSA members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib were elected to the United States House of Representatives.^[5] DSA endorsed 93 state and local candidates, of which 50 won their primaries,^[6][7] and 40 won their general election.^[8]

In 2019, 71 DSAers held office.^[9]

In the 2020 elections, DSA members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush were elected to the House^[10] and at least 36 DSA members won office, earning more than 3.1 million votes.^[11] In total, 101 DSAers held office.^[9] As a result, the list of socialists in Congress was longer than ever in US history^[12] and the number of socialist electeds was higher than any time since 1912,^[9] when the Socialist Party of America held over 1,000 offices.

In October 2022, DSA had elected over 120 candidates to local office.^[13]

In August 2023, DSA had "close to 160" endorsed politicians in office.^[14] In August 2023, DSA claimed that 207 DSA members held elected office, including state and local offices.^[15] In January 2024, DSA claimed "over 200 elected officials spanning every level of government" were affiliated with DSA.^[16]

In 2025, there were over 250 DSA members in office, with 90% elected after 2019.^[17] From 2016 to 2025, 128 nationally-endorsed candidates won an election, and 31 DSA endorsed ballot initiatives passed into law.^[18]
