Written in Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2019. (Also of note is HR Clinton writing one for Pelosey. Birds of a feather aka Dems of a corporation). Warren:
"The year 2008 was a reckoning. While millions of Americans lost their
livelihoods to Wall Street’s greed, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost her
dad to lung cancer, and her family fell off a financial cliff. She
watched as our government bailed out Wall Street while it ignored
families like hers. She learned the hard way that in America today,
Washington protects the powerful while leaving hardworking people
behind.
"Her commitment to putting power in the hands of the people is forged
in fire. Coming from a family in crisis and graduating from school with a
mountain of debt, she fought back against a rigged system and emerged
as a fearless leader in a movement committed to demonstrating what an
economy, a planet and a government that works for everyone should look
like.
"A year ago, she was taking orders across a bar. Today, millions are
taking cues from her. She reminds all of us that even while greed and
corruption slow our progress, even while armies of lobbyists swarm
Washington, in our democracy, true power still rests with the people.
And she’s just getting started."
