    Guess who’s repeal of the Faircloth Amendment just passed the House! 😌 Faircloth has blocked construction of new public housing in the United States for 20+ YEARS. Repeal is key to tackling our housing crisis. THANK YOU to the advocates who‘ve worked so hard to get here.

    Two years ago today, I went from waitress and organizer to winning a Congressional primary while outspent 10-1. Every day since I’ve tried to do right by working families & the movement that made it happen. Corrupt interests haven’t had a good night’s sleep since😉 Thank you 💜

    What a day. As I walked to my early voting site, I realized it was the Sonia Sotomayor Community Center. When she was named 1st Latina to the SCOTUS, a Bronx Boricua, it made a younger me feel like there was a place for me in the world. Today I cast my ballot under her name 😭
