My parents weren’t famous either. I’m the only non-millionaire in our race. And I got into this to make a difference for everyday people. But as Alexandria showed us tonight — anything is possible when you put in the work. Congratulations on a monumental win!! xitter.cf/ocasio2018/status/1001…

Replying to marcascaputo on "Dark Money." Interesting pun since Collective PAC was created by African Americans to increase the number of AA's at every level in government. Is it too much for AA's to reach for political equity?

Yesterday, I announced that I would no longer accept contributions from corporate PACs. We don’t have to accept a system that drowns out the voices of the American people. We can do better.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr. Do the math. That’s less than $15,000 a year — not nearly enough to keep a roof over your head.

Allowing Trump to lie uninterrupted to a live TV audience is a disservice to that audience.

20 years of GOP control hasn't worked for our state – that's why it's time to fulfill Florida's progressive values. I believe in better.

I pray for all the victims of the attacks of these days. May the blind violence of terrorism no longer find room to exist in this world!
