“Frank Llewellyn was one of the founders of the Institute for Democratic Socialism which later became the Democratic Socialists of America Fund,” says the DSA Fund’s website. “A lifelong activist and Socialist, he has served in the Social Socialists of America in New York City since the organization’s founding. He has served on its national committee and as National Director for more than ten years.”
Llewellyn was the national director of DSA for more than a decade, from 2001 to 2011. Llewellyn confirmed to FOX News Digital that she has been Ocasio-Cortez’s choice since she was first elected in 2018.
One of the most important achievements of the DSA during Llewellyl’s time was the election of Sen. Bernie Sanders, VS.

Llewellyn wrote that “in the future, it is important that we use our newly acquired grassroots network, as well as our ties to the truly progressive demons and Bernie Sanders, to promote both a progressive agenda and a progressive agenda.”
The organization also later continued to endorse Sanders during his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
A check of Llewellyn’s Social media shows that he continues to be an active member of the Queens City DSA branches. He posts regularly about OCASIO-Cortez and Sanders and New York City Socialist Mayor Totander Zohran Mamdani, who is also a DSA member. In a 2021 Facebook post, Llewellyn said she was “excited to vote for the Queens DSA that allows [Mamdani]”When he ran successfully in the New York State convention
Despite Mamdani leading the race for mayor of New York City by double digits, worrying concerns about the rise of socialism in America, the latest poll of FOX National Vaevery Capitalism remains more popular than socialism. However, voters have indicated that they support raising taxes on the wealthy.
FOX News Digital previously reported on the DSA’s strong influence on the MAMDANI campaign, including highlighting how DSA members discussed during Mamdani’s panel and how the organization is “holding on to national power.”
DSA organizer Daniel Goulden said the organization was closely involved with Mamdani’s campaign, even helping to write parts of his platform.
“With Zohran, we’re in the best position to take on the power of the state that we can because, you know, we’re like this,” Gouolsen said, gesturing with his fingers that the organization’s campaign is very close.
Goulden went on to suggest that “one of the things that made Zohohran really successful with his policy rollout was his reliance on DSA. “
AOC and Sanders, who both invited the declared democrats in Democratic Socialics, both endorsed and encouraged Mamdani’s campaign and will participate in a meeting with him this coming Sunday.
