The 36-year-old New York representative and one of the country’s most prominent democratic socialists renewed her membership in the group’s national organization after reports emerged earlier this month that it had lapsed. Ocasio-Cortez initially joined the group in 2018.

In a statement on Tuesday night, the DSA announced: “Democratic Socialists of America confirms Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member in good standing of our organization, having recently rejoined in August 2026,” according to a report in City & State New York.

It added: “Previously, the representative joined DSA in 2018 with a one-year membership, which DSA’s national leadership recently noticed had lapsed, in 2019. She has since renewed her membership as of this month.”

The DSA said it decided to disclose Ocasio-Cortez’s membership details amid reports that she could run for president in the next election cycle.

Can confirm, worked for the post office. Democrats will occasionally send their registered voters something, usually a small little brightly colored card or something with a "vote for me pls" slogan. Republicans will send you a fucking small poster every other day talking either about god, guns, and trump, or how the local democratic candidate literally eats babies and the Republican candidate does, in fact, oppose eating babies. It was annoying as hell. I got so tired of casing political shit.
