I’m still in shock over DSA member and nationally-endorsed candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s massive win Tuesday. She beat Joe Crowley, a ten-term machine politician, the fourth-ranking Democrat in Congress, and assumed successor to Nancy Pelosi, by 13%.
And how did she do it? By running on an unabashedly democratic socialist platform focused on healthcare for all, housing as a human right, abolishing ICE, justice for Puerto Rico, and a federal jobs guarantee. You can hear more in the DSA National Political Committee (NPC) statement below.
