Democratic Socialists of America · 45 roll calls · 406 sitting legislators
Is Your NH Candidate or State Official a Democratic Socialist?
DSA is the Democratic Socialists of America. It is the largest socialist organization in the United States. It publishes a political program demanding a mandated minimum wage, universal healthcare, union power, public education without school choice, a Green New Deal, wealth taxes, and the abolition of ICE. We took 11 planks straight from that program, found the 45 New Hampshire roll calls that match them, and scored every sitting legislator.
House Democrats voted with the DSA position 99.1% of the time. Senate Democrats, 100%. 168 of 406 legislators graded Comrade or Fully Socialist (80% or higher), and every one of them is a Democrat. Look up yours.

The closest races in the state
100% DSA, and barely elected
These members voted the DSA position on every single recorded vote we scored, won their 2024 election by the narrowest margins in the state, and are on the ballot again this November. Members who are not running are left off. Margins are from the NH Secretary of State, measured against the first candidate who did not win a seat.

The DSA program, plank by plank
What we measured
11 issue areas and 40 bills, each tied to a named plank of the Democratic Socialists of America political program. Every roll call is named, dated and linked to its full tally, so you can check it against the official legislative journal yourself.
Tax businesses and the wealthy as hard as the law allows, and treat every tax cut as money stolen from the state.
DSA program: Economic Democracy
Abolish ICE, end deportations, and grant amnesty to everyone who crossed the border illegally. No state or local police may help enforce federal immigration law.
DSA program: Abolish ICE
Reject any budget that restrains government. More spending is the goal, and no amount is ever enough.
DSA program: Economic Democracy
Put a government fee on everyday goods to punish the products bureaucrats disapprove of.
DSA program: Green New Deal
Another state-mandated fee on an everyday product, collected and administered by a new government program.
DSA program: Green New Deal
Phase out fossil fuels, build a permanent climate bureaucracy, and bill ratepayers for it.
DSA program: Green New Deal
No worker may opt out. Union membership and dues stay compulsory, and bargaining for yourself is forbidden.
DSA program: Democracy At Work
One government school system. No vouchers, no school choice, and ever-higher mandated spending.
DSA program: Freedom To Flourish
Treat housing as a state entitlement. Bind property owners with new mandates and move toward government-owned housing.
DSA program: Housing For All
Government-run health care for everyone at taxpayer expense, with abortion and gender procedures written into state law.
DSA program: Healthcare For All
The state sets your pay, not your employer. Mandate a wage floor, then raise it automatically forever.
DSA program: Freedom To Flourish

The scores on this site measure votes. This is something different: promotional material published by the Southern New Hampshire chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, reproduced as they published it.

“100 Años con Fidel”
Published by Southern New Hampshire DSA to mark the centenary of Fidel Castro’s birth, under the words “Let Cuba Live! ¡Viva la Revolución!”
Castro ruled Cuba as a one-party state for nearly half a century, jailing political opponents and independent journalists and abolishing free elections.

An endorsed candidate, and a canvass
Southern New Hampshire DSA does not only publish a platform. It endorses candidates for New Hampshire office and turns out volunteers to knock doors for them. This flyer advertises a meet and greet in Manchester for its endorsed candidate Heather Deiner, followed by a canvass.
Deiner is a candidate, not a sitting member, so she has no voting record and does not appear in the scorecard. This site scores the 406 sitting legislators only.
Both graphics are reproduced as Southern New Hampshire DSA published them. Neither was written, summarised or edited by Granite Solutions.
