Let's Go to the Federal Election Commission to See the Numbers in the 14th Congressional Race

 

This came in from the Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign to us

Our opponent’s first wave of attack ads just arrived in NY-14 neighborhoods. Take a look:

This is just the tip of the iceberg. With $1,000,000 to spend, our opponent can afford tens of thousands more of these – plus television, radio, and digital ads to attack our principles.

When we’re asking for your support, we don’t expect every person to give. But we ask because we know that when you can support the cause, you will. That’s how this transformative movement works. It’s a whole lot of people doing their part to make something great.

We have to correct the record. That’s why we set a $1,000,000 goal for August – to MATCH what our opponent has on hand to attack us.

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Let's go to Federal Elections Commission to find out the truth about this, and how much money AOC has on hand.

The Executive Speechwriter will develop written communications including remarks for formal and casual speeches, talking points and scripts for media appearances, key messages for conferences and presentations, as well as correspondence and related internal and external communications.

MAYOR DE BLASIO ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER AT EVERY CITY AGENCY

 

  Mayor de Blasio announced that a Chief Diversity Officer, who will also serve as Chief MWBE Officer, has been appointed at every City agency. On July 28th, the Mayor signed an executive order to establish this role, along with measures to strengthen the City’s utilization of Minority and Women-Owned Businesses.

 

“Our Minority and Women-Owned Businesses are the core of our economy, and they have built New York City into what it is today,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “I am proud to announce that a Chief Diversity Officer will be available at every single City agency to ensure they have the support they need.”

 

“New York City will do everything we can to make sure our MWBEs thrive,” said Magalie Austin, Senior Advisor and Director of the Mayor’s Office of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises. “These appointments are a commitment to providing support for our M/WBEs and ensuring that we are rebuilding and recovering with equity.”

 

The recently announced Executive Order 59 codifies best practices across the City as it relates to M/WBE utilization. In addition to requiring the implementation of best M/WBE practices citywide, EO 59 contributes to an environment of increased opportunities for M/WBEs and prioritizes the importance of accountability in leadership with respect to M/WBE goals.

 

The Chief Diversity Officeres/Chief MWBE Officers will ensure agencies apply creative thinking and executive authority to increase M/WBE participation and realize each agency’s diversity and inclusion goals. The CDO/CMO is a key member of executive leadership at each agency and works closely with the Agency Chief Contracting Office. The Officer also functions as a key liaison between the Agency’s Executive Team, Program units, M/WBEs, and other external stakeholders. The CDO is responsible for ensuring that the agency’s procurement practices are aligned with the M/WBE Program.
