NY-SEN?: AOC takes her brand of politics to New York's North Country

[RandySF]

We are finding out how AOC plays up north.

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez headlined a town-hall meeting in the 21st Congressional District — an area nearly 200 miles north of her Queens base that stretches from the Canadian border to the Mohawk River and is currently represented by Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Glens Falls on Sunday night to listen as Ocasio-Cortez and U.S. Rep. Pat Ryan, a Hudson Valley Democrat, answered questions about health care and cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency.

“I already know they're going to call us every name in the book for coming out here because they want to keep us from coming here,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We're not going to allow that hostility to keep us from moving forward. And we're going to show that a politics of kindness and care and compassion and ferocity in fighting for what's right is — and can win [for] us everywhere.”
