Socialist candidates are running for election this year across the United States, some with the outright endorsement of Democratic Socialists of America and others who prefer to avoid any association with the group.
At both the federal level, for the U.S. House and Senate, and locally in cities and states, socialists appear to be popping up everywhere.
A new report from State Policy Network explains why. The DSA, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, is now active in 48 states and the District of Columbia.
Across the United States, the number of DSA chapters has increased more than 870% since 2013, growing from 21 chapters then to 204 today, according to SPN’s report.
