American democracy is fundamentally broken, and hijacked by special interests to achieve their own goals. To fight back, we believe the working class must organize below to elect socialists to public office, and push politicians to enact policies to serve the people.
Current Endorsements
Santa Fe DSA is proud to endorse Veronica Krupnick for State Senate District 24, and Adam Fulton Johnson for County Commission District 4! Both Veronica and Adam have committed to fighting for democratic socialist values, and are running against opponents backed by the big moneyed special interests in New Mexico. You can donate to Veronica’s campaign here, and to Adam’s campaign here. Both of these candidates are running in the June 4 Democratic Primary. Early voting will begin on May 7th.
For the Presidential primary happening at the same time, we recommend an Uncommitted vote. Joe Biden’s actions have been complicit in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, and we support voting “Uncommitted” in the Presidential primary as a means of protesting the White House’s failures on this issue. You can get involved with the effort at voteuncommittednm.com
Past Work
Santa Fe DSA has made immense progress in building the foundation for a working class movement independent from both major party establishments. In 2023, we elected a DSA member, Alma Castro, to Santa Fe City Council, in no small part due to the thousands of doors volunteers knocked. We achieved this despite being up against a political machine with over $80,000 raised from wealthy donors. We hope that this victory is only the first of many that will lead to a real, working class alternative to the current political system.
