Scientist. Advocate. Educator. Progressive. Former candidate for US Congress. I ❤️ my Missouri roots.

We don't have to accept the way things are.

We can build a government of, by, and for the people, but it'll take hard work; it'll take new perspectives, new leaders ... a new Congress. Join the movement for new representation for Missouri on August 7.

Thanks!

Bartending + waitressing (especially in NYC) means you talk to 1000s of people over the years. Forces you to get great at reading people + hones a razor-sharp BS detector.

Just goes to show that what some consider to be “unskilled labor” can actually be anything but 😉

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

My staff + I come to decisions through robust discussion + debate - we operate as a team.

They are also intro’d at community events, bc I want constituents to grow familiar w/ the people picking up the phone when they call.

As an educational organizer, I view it as development.

Looking forward to a House Science Committee that will listen to the voices of scientists. https://t.co/uFlXnI1tJw

These scientists may be your next members of Congress https://t.co/6sUj1wjvLF

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If I‘m off on a single number while on live TV, Republicans fly out screeching that I am unfit for office.

Yet when their buddy is credibly accused by multiple women of sexual assault, they rush to promote him to the Supreme Court.

Just another day for women in the workplace.

Someone at the gym looked discouraged when I asked if she was registered to vote saying, “I don’t know anything about the issues.” I told her, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu” & she agreed to register. I’m making her a badass voter guide so she’s ready to vote!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

More imperfect people need to run for office. We need to eliminate the idea of “perfect” candidates - there’s no such thing.

What matters are your values and the platform you’re fighting for.

When the opposition goes into personal nonsense, it’s because they‘re empty handed.

@bocomoclerk I was very upset, my polling place changed and for the first time ever. I was not notified. I also did not receive a sample ballot. I hope this can be avoided in the future.

Sounds like a world we want to live in “Let’s create a world where women aren’t coached to lower their voices or, where Black women candidates aren’t expected to straighten their hair.” @HJ_Thompson #SheShouldRun #250KBY2030

Regardless of how this election goes, @HallieForMO gives me hope. She understands not only science and progressive ideals, but also rural America. Unity is what this country NEEDS right now - leaders like Hallie are the only way we can achieve it.
