State reps warn against electing socialist-endorsed candidates on the state level
DSA-backed contenders are on ballots in two states as Republicans warn the races could reshape legislative control and policy priorities.
- Voters in Michigan and Oregon face November ballots featuring candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America running for state representative seats.
- Democrats hold a two-seat majority in Michigan's Senate while Republicans maintain six seats in the House; Oregon experienced a Democratic trifecta for 18 years amid rising living costs and crime.
- Michigan's Chris Gilmer-Hill and Dylan Wegela, plus Oregon's Tammy Carpenter and Lesly, campaign on housing protections, single-payer healthcare, and publicly owned utilities. DSA described Gilmer-Hill as "a lifelong Detroiter, environmental activist, and union member."
- Legislators warn DSA-endorsed candidates will worsen high taxes and crime; Michigan State Rep. Bill G. Schuette said voters should "stop the DSA agenda before it takes root in Lansing."
- Beyond Michigan and Oregon, DSA-endorsed candidates and ballot initiatives span from California and New York to Florida and Indiana, according to the DSA website.
