Born in the Bronx and raised in Yorktown Heights, New York, Ocasio-Cortez graduated with honors from Boston University, where she double-majored in international relations and economics. After moving back to the Bronx, she became an activist and worked as a waitress and bartender. On June 26, 2018, Ocasio-Cortez drew national recognition when she defeated Democratic Caucus chair and 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democratic Party's primary election for New York's 14th congressional district, in what was widely seen as the biggest upset victory in the 2018 midterm election primaries. [5] [6] [7] She easily won the November general election and was reelected in 2020, 2022, and 2024.

>> I mean, how many other former waitresses are serving in Congress?

Good question...<G>

While in the Air Force, she began studying at a local college.[6] She also modeled during this period, appearing in 2013's Sports Illustrated's online site, and briefly worked as a cocktail waitress in a gentleman's club.[6][14] She later appeared as a swimsuit model in Maxim magazine in 2014.[3][15][16][4] Luna gained a following as an Instagram influencer.[5]

I think you underestimate her intellectual prowess and authenticity.

One of the quotes in my profile is from her before she won her first seat (guess which one).
I put it there because I anticipated she would win.

The same logic was why I put my bets on Obama instead of Hillary when most people had not even heard of him.

So to my older friends who disagree, I'd say I have a better grip on what the voters want than the main establishment because I could see very unexpected upset way before it came true. They are driving forward by looking through the rearview mirror. That doesn't work.
