Company Profile
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress
Company Overview
With working families struggling and our planet under threat, we can’t just wait around for progressive change. It’s time for us to act.
Our campaign is fighting for a powerful set of policies that will reshape our economy, minimize inequality and reverse the effects of climate change. Through a Green New Deal, we will eliminate our greenhouse gas emissions and guarantee a high-wage job to everyone who wants one. And we’re not stopping there?—our platform calls for federal limits on rent increases, transformative criminal justice reform, Medicare for All and tuition-free public college.
The time for half measures is over. We need solutions that are big enough to match the crises we face.
Company History
After Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, Alexandria joined many Americans who felt a strong calling to do more in civic life. That December, she traveled to the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota where indigenous people were demonstrating against a dangerous gas pipeline. Alexandria was inspired by the experience and, shortly thereafter, decided to run for Congress. Despite being a political longshot – she received no major endorsements and was outspent nearly 10 to 1 by her opponent – Alexandria won her primary challenge on June 26, 2018, and went on to win the election, becoming the first woman of color to represent NY-14, and the youngest woman in history to serve in Congress.
