Carson Malbrough
Template:TOCnestleft Carson Malbrough serves as an Organizer at the Grassroots Law Project, an advocacy organization that aims to protect civil rights & transform the U.S. criminal legal system. In my role, I have a hand in our national campaigns, policy advocacy & crafting legislation around issues of mass incarceration & police brutality. Living in LA County, the largest jail system in the world, changing the criminal justice system will have a direct impact on our people here in AD64. I previously worked on highly competitive campaigns as well, having served as campaign manager for Irvine City Councilmember Melissa Fox in her race for the 68th Assembly District seat. Although this was not our district, working closely with a local elected official taught me how the California Democratic Party operates, and how important it is to prioritize the interests of people in your community rather than special interests. I've also worked on highly competitive political campaigns across the country, having previously served as a Senior Field Manager on Congressman Beto O'Rourke's 2018 campaign for U.S. Senate in Texas and as a Regional Field Organizer on Governor Roy Cooper's 2016 gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina.[1]
Infiltrating the Dems
Every two years, California Democrats elect delegates from across the state, who then convene along with appointed party officials at the party’s Assembly District Election Meeting (ADEMS). ADEMS determines what the party stands for, making this a significant opportunity for socialists to push the California Democratic Party to the left and away from the interests of union busters, the landlord lobby, fossil fuel polluters, the corporate hospital and pharmaceutical lobby, the prison industrial complex, the corporate donor class, and others that stand against our values.
Our members are running for ADEMS delegate seats so that we’re in the room when the Democratic Party sets its agenda and makes decisions on endorsing candidates for public office. We’re fighting for issues that matter to the working class in California, like Medicare for All, Green New Deal, and Defunding the Police.
The DSA members listed below (in alphabetical order by first name) are running for ADEMS delegate seats on slates across LA County and have pledged to fight for our democratically-decided socialist values.
Assembly District 64 - Brandon Molina Berrios, Carson Malbrough, Dinorah Hernandez, Eric DiMaggio, Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Hernaldo (Ernie) Gutierrez, Joseph Luis Pinon, Karyssa Harris, Micah Silver, Tiffanie Noelle Smith.
