“The first time I saw AOC was in 2019. She appeared in a viral video as a freshly elected congresswoman. She was wearing a beautiful purple suit and spoke to the house: “Let’s play a lightning round game. I’m gonna be the bad guy.” In the video AOC intelligently lays out the ethics of government during a very tumultuous time. Watching her strength and power was so inspiring I couldn’t help but fall in love. Since then I’ve been a follower of her and her ideas.”
