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.

Running for Bernie delegate
Shawnee Badger March 4 2020.
Yesterday was incredible for Bernie in CA. So many of us have been working so hard for 5 years to make this happen. We did it. I'm so proud of us.
I'm running to be a delegate for Bernie Sanders (AGAIN). I am honored to be endorsed by Bernie Sanders 2020 Presidential Campaign Co-chair Congressman Ro Khanna, one of the first CA electeds to endorse Bernie--Assemblymember Ash Kalra, and former Mayor of Richmond Gayle McLaughlin.
In 2016, I was elected with the most votes, went to convention, shook things up, and PROUDLY cast my vote for Bernie Sanders.
One of the moments I will probably never forget was being grabbed around my waist and shoved down stairs by a former party leader. But after 2016, I refused to be shoved out of the Democratic Party.
I stayed deeply involved. I passed resolutions. I wrote language into the California Democratic Party Platform. I cast my vote for Bernie progressive candidates. I ran and won a spot in the ADEM elections. I helped start and lead an Our Revolution chapter and brought DSA to my community. I put my body on the line. And I used my voice to advocate and fight for these life and death issues.

Standing for AD 38
In 2019 Shawnee Badger stood from AD 38 for the California Democratic Party Central Committee.
My name is Shawnee Badger and I’m running to be a delegate to the California Democratic Party, representing the 38th Assembly District. I’m a young, millennial, vegan of 3 years and card-holding SAG-AFTRA union actress, activist, and dedicated community member. I’ve lived in the Santa Clarita Valley since I was 2 years old. I was raised here. Educated here. Molded and shaped by this valley. I have a deep love for my district. I graduated with honors from both Valencia High School and College of the Canyons, where I graduated with an Associates Degree Cum Laude.
I have been politically active since 2016 when I was a campaign volunteer and the youngest, top vote-getting female delegate to the Democratic National Convention for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign from California’s 25th Congressional District. That and my work in the NO DAPL movement were the two experiences that really solidified my passion and need to be involved in political action and activism. I co-founded and lead Our Revolution Santa Clarita Valley and Democratic Socialists of America Santa Clarita Valley. Both groups coordinate together on events and actions to make our community a better home to all.
We have spearheaded many campaigns and actions including bringing Community Choice Energy to Santa Clarita, ending the criminalization of street vendors, stopping the criminalization of homelessness, advocating for our unhoused communities and support for and expansion of Bridge to Home, standing with students against gun violence at the March for Our Lives, taking part in and organizing actions against Steve Knight and advocating for his ousting, and standing with our undocumented and immigrant neighbors in support of SB 54. We have also endorsed many candidates for office, legislation, and ballot measures; and even co-organized an event with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. [2]
