  • [04] FRANCESCA HONG -- 2026
    STATUS: ENDORSED BY MILWAUKEE DSA
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Door knocking, fundraising, pleading with people to do poll passing in Milwaukee, and just doing it myself when no one would listen.

    STATUS: ENDORSED BY LA DSA
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Door knocking, fundraising, etc.
  • [06] FAIZAH MALIK -- 2026
    STATUS: ENDORSED BY LA DSA
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Door knocking, postcard writing, and fundraising.
  • [07] BUSHRA AMIWALA -- 2026
    STATUS: ENDORSED BY WEST SUBURBAN ILLINOIS DSA
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Trying to talk sense into her campaign manager on why she was not going to win the election and how she was going to throw it to someone who is not in line with party views. I tried. I failed. (Do not hire her campaign manager; she cannot do math and is a DC swamp person.)
  • [08] MARISSA ROY -- 2026
    STATUS: NOT ENDORSED BY DSA (ENDORSED BY WFP & LA COUNTY DEMS)
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Door knocking, fundraising, etc. She also did a lot of joint events with DSA.
  • [09] ADAM EDWARD CORNELIUS -- 2026
    STATUS: NO DSA ENDORSEMENT (ZERO HELP FROM NCV CHAPTER)
    CONTRIBUTIONS: Won a board governorship in rural Sierra Nevada, California. We received zero help from the local NCV chapter, so we built and organized the entire ground game ourselves. Our flagship priority on the board is organizing to incorporate the town--building municipal power from scratch so our local government can actually provide critical public services to a rural community that Trump carried by over 40 points.
