- DSA-LA again recommended Puza in 2022.
- DSA-LA's 2024 guide recommended McMorrin and Fish for Culver City Council.
- A DSA-LA member who later sought chapter office stated in DSA-LA's 2025 officer-candidate materials that he volunteered many hours canvassing for Fish's 2024 campaign; the source does not establish that DSA-LA itself directed that volunteer activity.
- Fish's May 24, 2026 public election picks included Marissa Roy, Eunisses Hernandez, Estuardo Mazariegos, Faizah Malik, Hugo Soto-Martinez and Rocio Rivas, matching all six candidates DSA-LA identified as its formally endorsed 2026 slate.
- Hernandez's 2026 campaign lists Fish, Puza and McMorrin as endorsers. Candidate endorsement establishes support for that candidate; it does not establish DSA membership by the endorser.
