It was hard for me to leave my restaurant job. When you work long days in a hard job with thoughtful and funny people, it very much becomes a family.
These photos are from just a few months ago. I love these people a lot. My focus is to make life better for folks like these.
We have never been more proud to announce this win. Congratulations to a fierce fighter, organizer, Justice Democrat and soon to be Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
We triggered the first primary election in 14 years. OUR supporters, collecting signatures in the bitter snow for 5 weeks, did that.
No matter who the vote is for, every single vote cast to day is ours - because we made this election happen.
One great thing about our campaign video: not a single consultant was involved.
I wrote the script. My family is the closing shot. That’s my actual bodega.
Detroit DSAers @means_tv worked with our team to film and tell the story.
Volunteers coordinated the shoot.
Update: we’ve broken $200k in donations. We now have over 14,000 individual contributions to our campaign.
75% of all Ocasio2018 donations are under $200.
Not one dime comes from a corporate PAC. Only candidate in NY-14 to do so.
Average donation: $14.
Common donation: $27. https://t.co/8GGuRxEfCY
Pretty wild.
Our campaign is the front page story of today’s @theintercept.
If you aren’t familiar with the race for NY-14, I urge you to read this piece by @ryangrim & @aidachavez.
We can win this thing.

Democrats who spend *more* time talking about Trump and Russia than this ⬇️ are going to lose.
Families are in real crisis. Congress actually has the power to change our lives for the better.
If we’re not proposing new & ambitious solutions, then why bother running?
We’re making history in NY-14.
