Summary |
Born in the Bronx and raised in the suburbs of Westchester County, New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (aka "AOC") witnessed firsthand how a person's zip code can shape their destiny. That early exposure to income inequality fueled a passion for change that, in turn, led her to take on--and defeat--a ten-term incumbent to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Now a target for the right, she is an inspiration to millions of millennial voters, women of color, and progressives. |
