DSA-LA Endorses Fatima Iqbal-Zubair and Eunisses Hernandez

After a week of balloting, DSA-LA members have voted to endorse two additional socialist candidates in the 2022 primary elections.  Congratulations to DSA members Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Candidate for CA State Assembly District 65 and Eunisses Hernandez, Candidate for Los Angeles City Council District!  Each received supermajority support of chapter members (85% and 87% respectively) on their endorsement. 

These socialist candidates are committed to articulating democratic socialist politics to thousands of voters throughout LA County and mobilizing working-class supporters beyond a single election to win transformative reforms and material demands.  They join DSA-LA member Hugo Soto-Martinez, Candidate for Los Angeles City Council District 13, who was endorsed by DSA-LA’s membership in late 2021.

With thousands of members throughout LA County, DSA-LA is the largest socialist organization in LA County in generations.  Endorsements in DSA-LA are more than just paper endorsements, instead committing the chapter to robust mobilization and campaigning.  All endorsements are voted on by DSA-LA members.  

The next endorsement phase continues through Feb 14. DSA-LA will be accepting endorsement petitions from members looking to endorse candidates for electoral districts or jurisdictions that have more than 600,000 constituents, (Federal, State-wide, LA County, LA City-wide) as well as any electoral districts that were not voted on in phases one or two.  Additional candidates will be recommended to DSA-LA members in our 2022 Primary Election Voter Guide.  We appreciate the effort that candidates put into considering being endorsed by our chapter.

To get involved in our campaigns to elect democratic socialists to office join the DSA-LA Electoral Politics Committee at our next meeting on Thursday 1/20/21.
