The following is a list of mayors who have declared themselves to be socialists or have been a member of a socialist party in the United States.
Statistics
In 1911, one author estimated that there were twenty-eight such mayors[1] and in 1913 another author estimated thirty-four.[2] In 1967, however, James Weinstein's table of "Cities and Towns Electing Socialist Mayors or Other Major Municipal Officers, 1911–1920" counted 74 such municipalities in 1911 and 32 in 1913, with smaller peaks in 1915 (22) and 1917 (18):[3]: 116–118

In 1911, the SPA won election to about 1,141 local offices in total.[4]
^Bloom ran for the Rockford Progressive Party, which was formed by dissidents of the Rockford Labor Party in 1929.[27][28]
^Hallstrom ran for the Rockford Labor Legion from 1921–1927, in 1929 the Labor Party refused to nominate him on the grounds that he had moved from some of the party's principles. He ran as an independent from 1929-33.[28] The Rockford Labor Legion was a coalition of local trade unions, socialist organizations and temperance societies.[28]
^Barewald resigned from the Socialist Party during the first week of January 1921 and captured national headlines by declaring radicals "insane" and instructing local police to greet unwanted members of the Industrial Workers of the World with "hot lead." See: "Wants Town Rid of IWW: Mayor Barewald Advises Use of Riot Guns," Eugene Morning Register, Jan. 9, 1921, pg. 1.

For Strimling, though, the loss turned out to be liberating, allowing him to push for radical policy reforms from the grassroots up rather than the City Council down. No longer constrained by the dysfunctional city government, the ex-mayor threw in his lot with members of the local DSA branch and took his ideas about housing reform directly to the people.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), criticized Goldman's payments and questioned whether the company also received additional government assistance through the Federal Reserve.
