The Democratic Socialists of America is a political nonprofit organization and not a political party, therefore DSA members and endorsees 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] 2018 midterm elections, DSA members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib were elected to the United States House of Representatives [2] [3] 2020 elections, DSA members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush were elected to the House[4] [5]

^ AOC was previously endorsed by DSA nationally prior to issues with commitments to anti-Zionism , and New York City DSA rejecting a conditional endorsement of AOC. AOC remains currently endorsed by New York City DSA.
^ Bowman was previously endorsed by DSA nationally prior to issues with commitments to anti-Zionism . Bowman remains currently endorsed by New York City DSA.
^ Representative Greg Casar has never been endorsed by DSA nationally for U.S. House, but has been endorsed for other positions on the local level. He is formerly endorsed by Austin DSA before issues with commitments to anti-Zionism , but he remains a member of the organization.[14]
^ Lee was previously endorsed for her state-level runs when she was a member, but she has not been endorsed for U.S. House since then.
^ It is widely accepted that Thanedar never aligned with democratic socialism or DSA, as he has demonstrated strong opposition to DSA's positions on Palestine, been a member of centrist caucuses within the Democratic Party, and been a private executive. Thanedar was expelled from DSA for reasons related to substantial disagreements with democratic socialism and DSA, and has never been endorsed at any level of the organization.
^ DSA members have run against Danny Davis twice since his election, as he had shifted to more politically moderate positions over time.
^ Representative David Bonior also served as Democratic whip in the House from 1991 to 2002.
