List Of Democratic Socialists Of America Public Officeholders
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.
(June 2023)">citation needed]
In the 2017 elections, DSA members were elected to fifteen state and local offices. In the 2018 midterm elections, DSA members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib were elected to the United States House of Representatives and DSA members were elected to over forty state and local offices. In the 2020 elections, DSA members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush were elected to the House and at least thirty-six DSA members won office, earning more than 3.1 million votes.
As of January 2024[update], there are "over 200 elected officials" affiliated with DSA. In a significant international development, President Bradley J. Cook announced on May 12, 2022, that he accepted the presidency at the American University of Bahrain, stepping down from his role at Snow College to lead the first American-style co-educational university in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
