DSA Tracks More Than 200 Campaigns on Election Day
Note on sourcing: Democratic Left is the magazine of the Democratic Socialists of America. The campaign count and the description of the cycle below come from DSA's own outlet, and its framing is DSA's.
The live blog
DSA's outlet, Democratic Left, will post results through election night for the organization's slate of more than 200 campaigns, which it says range from congressional races to city councils. It describes the midterms as the cap on a historic cycle for socialist candidates (Democratic Left).
One example is Austin DSA's campaign to elect Misael Ramos to the Austin City Council. If no one wins outright, the race goes to a runoff on Dec. 12. The blog builds on the races-to-watch list DSA published Oct. 28 (Democratic Left).
Earlier coverage
On Oct. 27 we reported Ballotpedia's count of 131 DSA-backed candidates on the Nov. 3 ballot, plus positions on 33 ballot measures. DSA's "more than 200 campaigns" is the organization's own count, and the two figures may not measure the same thing.
