NPC Candidate Profiles
This is a listing of NPC candidates who completed our candidate survey. Each includes a link to their response. We decided only to consider for endorsement candidates who submitted a response, and while we only endorsed some of these candidates, we want to keep these responses up as a reference. All of them show a lot of thoughtfulness and express interesting ideas, so even if a candidate did not earn an official caucus endorsement, we hope their responses will be useful to delegates trying to figure out where the candidates stand on issues important to rural, suburban, and small city DSA.
One note about the basic identifying info: Area was self-identified, except when candidates clarified that in their responses. Slate/Caucus was also according to how candidates chose to identify in the survey. Some candidates chose to emphasize their official slates over caucus memberships.
