John,

It’s time for Democratic Party leadership to pass the torch to the next
generation, and that includes making Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the top
Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, led by Justice Democrats’ own Reps.
Greg Casar, Pramila Jayapal, and Ilhan Omar, voted overwhelmingly to
endorse AOC as ranking member of the Oversight Committee.

Like Greg said, “If Democrats want to retake the majority, AOC is who we
want leading Oversight to hold Trump accountable. When Democrats retake
the majority, AOC is who we want chairing this key committee — holding
CEOs, Wall Street, and mega-corporations accountable.”

Reports indicated AOC was in a prime position to take on this role until
news broke that former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi is getting
involved:

working behind the scenes to tank Alexandra Ocasio Cortez’s bid to become
ranking member on the House Oversight Committee.

Instead of supporting AOC, Pelosi is reportedly working to quash her bid
for this influential role and pushing for a 15-year incumbent to win it.

This election made clear that the Democratic Party needs to usher in a new
era, led by new leaders who actually understand and speak to the
priorities of everyday people. It cannot be led by career politicians
clinging to their old ways, ideas, and agendas that brought us here.

While we demand the Democratic establishment learn from its mistakes and
promote proven, bold leaders like AOC to key roles like this, we’re not
wasting any time working to find even more working-class progressives to
challenge out-of-touch incumbents for their seats in 2026.

The number of working-class, progressive candidates we’re able to recruit
and elect to Congress depends directly on how much we raise from emails
like this one. Thanks for anything you can give to fuel our fight for
change.
