The next Congress presents a pivotal opportunity to advance progressive priorities through influential committee positions. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's bid for ranking member on the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Accountability would be a significant step forward. Her passion for holding the government accountable and fighting for working-class issues makes her an excellent fit to lead this investigative committee. As a fierce advocate with demonstrated commitment over the past two years as vice ranking member, Ocasio-Cortez has the experience and vision to effectively oversee the executive branch and protect constitutional rights. Her collaborative approach and dedication to systemic reform position her well to drive meaningful oversight in this critical role. Elevating new progressive leaders is essential to enact a people-first agenda and meet the challenges facing our nation.
