Candidate: US House of Representatives / District 14

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D)

(Incumbent)

Candidate Site

Born in The Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez worked as a grassroots activist before becoming the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018. She is fighting for a powerful set of policy solutions that will reshape our economy, invest in working class families and communities, tackle the effects of climate change, and ensure healthcare and affordable housing are human rights—not privileges just for the wealthiest to enjoy. Alexandria serves as the vice ranking member on the Oversight and Reform Committee, and she is currently in her third term as a U.S. representative representing parts of The Bronx and Queens.

Students are learning at Vaughn College's state-of-the-art simulator center to address the demand for more air traffic controllers in the New York City airspace, chronic shortages across the country, and the need for more than 71,000 air traffic controllers globally over the next decade.
