DSA congressional candidates

From the Democratic Socialists of America Redditt page.

What do y'all think of what is going to happen for the DSA in 2018, and how many of their members will try to become involved in the local and national level?

so far there are 4 DSA members running for the House this election in 2018. (Kaniela Ing, Carlos Rosa, Brianna Westbrook, and Eponine Garrod. and there are a few more who are sympathetic towards DSA)

I believe that we need to keep focusing on Local races more and later we can establish a foothold on the national races later. so this means DSA can remain a sort of Dark-horse organization for the time being, and then jump out and take the National races by storm.

I believe this because if we jump out too soon and get on the National stage, we will begin to lose momentum soon after we gain a good chunk of seats and then begin to weaken after trump is out of office.^[2]

Phoenix DSA endorsement

Phoenix Democratic Socialists of America, January 22;

We are proud to have endorsed Brianna Westbrook for Congress in Congressional District 8 in her special election race. By a unanimous vote, we agreed to make her the first candidate to earn the official endorsement of DSA Phoenix. She is a working class candidate who supports the People's Platform, rejects big donors and corporate money, and--most importantly--is a member of Democratic Socialists of America who proudly wears her DSA Phoenix pins on the campaign trail (note them in the photos with comrade LaDawn Stuben and Rep.
