A recent story in the New York Times discussed the increasing willingness of political candidates in the United States to run as socialists. Times reporter Farah Stockman wrote that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is surging, even in conservative-leaning states. "Since November 2016, DSA's membership has increased from about 5,000 to 35,000 nationwide," Stockman wrote. "The number of local groups has grown from 40 to 181, including 10 in Texas. Houston's once-dormant chapter now has nearly 300 members."

Franklin Bynum, a 34-year-old attorney, avowed socialist, and DSA member, won the Democratic nomination for criminal court judge in Houston. At least 16 other socialists appeared on the ballot in primary races across Texas.
