A publication of the Democratic Socialists of America. 🌹
In addition to @phillydsa.bsky.social's campaign for Rabb, Tuesday's election features slates of candidates for @atldemsoc.bsky.social, @portlanddsa.bsky.social, and @dsa-louisville.bsky.social — three chapters looking to reinforce electeds already in office at the state and local level.
As always, we feature a map of upcoming DSA-endorsed campaigns, including 26 in May. Highlights: @phillydsa.bsky.social's US Rep. campaign and @dsa-louisville.bsky.social, @portlanddsa.bsky.social, and @atldemsoc.bsky.social, which look to increase their presence in state and local legislatures.
There are several DSA-endorsed candidates on the ballot today: Bobby Gronert / Madison Council (D8) / Madison Area (Wisc.) Kathy Mohr-Almeida / Salt River Project District Board / @phxdsa.bsky.social Pete Borchardt / Brown County Board of Commissioners (D10) / Northeast Wisconsin
132nd to 127th -- lots of growth and lots of fast-growing chapters in that rough size range. You can search chapters using the search bar at the top of the chart.
We report three new prechapter organizing committees — Sun Valley (Idaho), Central Oregon and Fort Wayne (Ind.) — and one new chapter — Southeast Kansas.
A new feature in this month's edition: an interactive visualization of the last year of changes in how chapters rank by membership. See @portlanddsa.bsky.social 's steady rise among the top chapters and @kansascitydsa.bsky.social's "Missouri Miracle".
