Big news: Alexandria has endorsed a dear friend and movement leader, Ana María Archila, for Lieutenant Governor of New York! And her election is this Tuesday, June 28!
Many people know Ana María as one of the women who courageously confronted then-Senator Jeff Flake in an elevator to stop the Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. In that moment, Ana María inspired the nation with her courage and tenacity.
But she’s also so much more than that moment. For 20 years, she has founded and led organizations to lift up the voices of working-class and marginalized people in New York and across the country–immigrants, Black and brown youth, LGBTQ+ people, and more. That’s why Alexandria invited her to join her to the State of the Union address in 2019, and it’s why she’s endorsing her now.
Join Alexandria today and donate to Ana María Archila’s visionary campaign today! With just a few days until the election, they are trying to close their Get Out the Vote budget gap, so they can reach every last voter.
If elected, Ana María would be the first Latina and the first LGBTQ New Yorker elected statewide.
She is the clear progressive choice in this very close race, and she is talking to voters every day about the need to put the needs of working families before the wants of billionaires. As she told the New York Times, “New York State is such a rich state. Our problem is never that we lack resources, our problem is that we prioritize the interests of those who have already so much and who are able to use their leverage and their money to influence our policies.”
Not surprisingly, crypto and real estate billionaires are pouring huge sums to defeat her. But we know that people power can beat the money of the billionaires and corporations.
Join Alexandria today and help make sure that people power wins again in New York and Ana María Archila becomes our next Lieutenant Governor!
In solidarity,
Team AOC
