We did it,
Despite a MAGA Republican challenger, we re-elected Alexandria to Congress with a groundswell of support. With most of the results in, we’re currently leading with over 70% of the vote!
Most deep blue seats don’t run real campaigns during the general election. But we put our movement’s values and vision into practice. We didn’t take our community for granted. Together, we:
- Knocked on over 18,500 doors
- Called over 57,900 voters
- Organized over 1,780 volunteers
- Combated rampant Spanish-language disinformation with a first-of-its-kind WhatsApp program and a six-figure Spanish ad program
- And so much more…
And we’re not going to stop now. We’ll be out there next year, in a non-election year because the work of community-building transcends elections. It always has.
Too many politicians just show up before Election Day. That doesn’t foster trust in our democracy. It hurts voter turn-out and breeds cynicism. That’s why we commit to being in the community year-round and showing up in lots of ways – from organizing tutoring programs, to door-knocking for the Census and leading trainings on how to organize a union in your workplace.
With infinite gratitude,
Team AOC
