With the U.S. House of Representatives on recess during the month of October, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent more than an hour on a virtual public meeting with Queens Community Board 2 on Oct. 6, bidding them farewell since it will become part of Rep. Nydia Velázquez’s Seventh District at the start of the new year.
Ocasio-Cortez has represented the area encompassing Queens Community Board 2 since 2018, when she upset longtime Congressman Joe Crowley in District 14.
