Since Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez won her primary election against a 10-term incumbent in 2018, she has been one of the strongest voices for progressive change in Congress.
Upon her election, Ocasio-Cortez became the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, as well as the first woman of color to represent her district of NY-14.
Ocasio-Cortez has made headlines for her advocacy on behalf of immigrant families and undocumented Americans, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is also leading the fight for climate justice as an original sponsor of the Green New Deal resolution.
