I am not familiar with django but if I am following correctly I think you need to change the following:

$.each( response, function ( i, val ) {
  html += "<li>" + val.value + "</li>";
});

val is an object.

Also for just a debugging tip I would add console.log(response); before the $.each(); in order to figure out what val is going to be if I were to run into a situation like you are in.

You need to drill into the JSON value, like this:

val.id

val.label

val.value

I assume you want val.label to be the text for the <li>, so your code should be this:

$.each( response, function ( i, val ) {
    html += "<li>" + val.value + "</li>";
});
