The New American Left National Committee (NALNC) is the governing body of the NAL, comprised of five internally elected party members. The five members of the committee then elect a Chair and Vice Chair, with the Chair being considered the head of the party. Leadership decisions within the party are made by a vote of the committee.

First Committee

The first NALNC was comprised of the original five founding members of the party: Irene Taylor, Oliwer Stołów, Bruce Hill, Dushon Marshall, and Koko, with Taylor being elected FEC Coordinator and becoming the de facto head of the party. The election was a simple formality, for only five individuals ran. After Bruce Hill’s resignation from the committee on October 29, 2022, Tonantzin Mariategui was elected to fill his seat. The committee decided against nominating a party member to the Presidential Election, citing a lack of political power and experience within their own ranks.

Second Committee

The second NALNC was the first actually elected committee, with nine members running for a seat. Irene Taylor and Dushon Marshall remained on the committee, with Joey and Esteban being elected in the first round, and Koko keeping his seat after a runoff against Tonantzin Mariategui and Chuck Stewart. Tonantzin Mariategui and Oliwer Stołów lost their seats.

Koko and Dushon Marshall both left the party within days of each other, causing the party to have to replace their seats on the committee. An election to do so is slated to begin soon, with Nottrump, Oliwer Stołów, and Chuck Stewart slated to run for the two available seats.
