the Political Action Committee that originally recruited Ocasio-Cortez to run for Crowley’s seat in New York’s 14th district. The JD mission is simple: elect working people to Congress, representatives who actually resemble the demographics of their districts, who reject corporate donations and embrace an uncompromisingly progressive platform that includes supporting Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and criminal justice reform.
Much like the candidates she’s striving to put into office, Rojas—Latina, a community college dropout who was working retail prior to working for Bernie—doesn’t exactly fit the profile of a typical political operative. She struggles sometimes with imposter syndrome, then reminds herself, “That’s our whole pitch: Working people deserve just as much as billionaires to run government.
In person Rojas is serious, warm, and conscientious to a fault, fretting any time she perceives that she may be inconveniencing someone. She calls herself an old soul—she’s never heard ofand only just caught wind of TikTok—but clearly possesses the boundless energy of...well, a 24-year-old.
Going up against the party establishment is risky business, as Reshma Saujani can attest.
