On January 3, 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was sworn into the 116th Congress of the United States, becoming the youngest Congresswoman in US history.

She knew the people she would represent and understood their problems.

Her grassroots campaign inspired many in her community, and she won the election in a landslide victory. Follow her groundbreaking campaign and learn about her efforts to make change in Washington. Book jacket.
