In a country of 330 million people, there are young women like myself, there are working class people that deserve to be in the halls of power.

In 2018, a young Latina named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled off one of the most stunning upsets in modern political history,

Here are some of the people that are holding us back from them.
