Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cruises To Easy Victory

QUEENS, NY – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a national darling of the Democratic party since her history making June primary win over U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, has cruised to victory to represent parts of Queens and The Bronx in Congress. She has been touring the country stumping for progressives.

Ocasio won with 77 percent of the vote versus her Republican opponent Anthony Pappas' 15 percent.

Pappas had his endorsement pulled by the Bronx and Queens GOP in September when the leaders of the respective committees learned of assault allegations by his ex-wife.

Although Joe Crowley was listed on the Working Families Party’s ticket for Tuesday's election, he supported Ocasio-Cortez and did not campaign.
