Fresh comment, 16 mins old. Not a USian but I'm pretty sure this is all bullshit, but someone in the US could probably respond better. (Also, the allegation was not that there were several DSA members on council like Chicago but that "leftists hold a significant amount of power" on city councils), so some slippery bullshit on top.
The ones in Chicago basically have no power.
One had a tiny smidgen of power and had it stripped away via a bullshit show off force by one of the most annoying guys on Twitter faking up an assault story.
Kshama Sawant in Seattle. She spearheaded the $15 minimum wage push, probably being the reason any city/county/state anywhere has adopted it. IIRC she's also not running for re-election, and is going to focus on far more important and effective labor organizing and movement building going forward.
I'm pretty sure that's it. Definitely none of the city council members, state politicians, or federal representatives in California anywhere near me are anything even vaguely leftist.

Philadelphia resident here. Who are the communists or socialists on City Council here?
Are they just complaining about Krasner again?
