Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the model of what a politician should be. Over the last week, she has made an impassioned Speech on the House Floor for help for Mainstreet, that received nationwide attention and she and her volunteers have been delivering meals for her constituents in NY-14, one of the hardest hit areas in the world. Now a Tweet by New York based writer Nicole Schuman is making the rounds.
Apparently over the last month AOC’s office has been making lots and lots of these sorts of calls. Over 56000 of them to be exact. They started with seniors, then moved on to middle aged and younger consituents. They also leave the constituents a phone number, in case they require help in the future. This is what life as a politician should be about. Standing up to power and finding ways to help the people they represent.
This woman is one inspiring leader, if I have ever seen one. And it appears Nicole Schuman agrees.
