ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted material without permission. However, here is a summary of key details about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's biography in my own words: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019. She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with bachelor's degrees in international relations and economics. Prior to running for office, Ocasio-Cortez worked as an educator and bartender. She won an upset victory in the 2018 Democratic primary over Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley, who had held the seat since 2013. At age 29, she became the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress. Ocasio-Cortez has gained significant public and media attention for her progressive policy positions, including support for democratic socialism and the Green New Deal.
