CALL TO ALL 10 23 2018
I have nothing against New York liberals. Some of my best friends are New York liberals. Here are two young women who should be able to hold their own with those old guys in our House of Representatives. I just donated to their campaigns. I think they are going to win!


N.Y. 14TH DISTRICT
Favored to win
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D)
Activist
The 28-year-old activist who identifies as a socialist and ran on abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and making Medicare a universal program defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley, the fourth-ranking House Democrat. Crowley was widely seen as a potential successor to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.Calif.). Ocasio-Cortez, who refused corporate PAC money in the primary, is likely to coast to victory in November, and become the first woman elected to Congress in her 20s from either party in American history. Ocasio-Cortez is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election


 N.Y. 24TH DISTRICT
Competitive race
Dana Balter (D)
Academic
Balter won an upset victory in the Democratic primary against a party-backed incumbent by relying on a grassroots strategy. Balter is a first-time candidate. She faces a male opponent in the general election.
