Youngest female ever elected to congress ever.
She can't afford rent in DC so she started a Go Fund Me account?
I don't think it's really her but we should discuss her anyways.
She labeled herself a "Democratic Socialist".

Honestly - this does kinda show what has become of congress. People should be able to serve regardless of their bank account. I would think it would be smart to have a stipend of some kind for senators below a certain income bracket. Goes away obviously once paid in congress for a while.
I am not a huge fan at all, some good, some great, some bad, some awful. But good for her, let's see what she does with this position now.

And Joe Biden commuted from home daily via train. Northeast regional goes right from her home to DC union station. You don’t have to have places in both locations. Crash with a friend. How many rookie baseball players do that?

Because she knocked on thousands of doors and impressed her community and is acutually representative of the people that elected her, and not a shill for corporate interests? Isn’t that how The House of REPRESENTATIVES is supposed to work?
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the transition period will be “very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary. I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.” She said she saved money before leaving her job at the restaurant, and planned accordingly with her partner. “We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January.”

Thursday, she pointed to her lack of income as a reason why some people are not able to work in politics.
"There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead," she said.
She said she hopes she can change that.

....but hey, don't let a little thing like reality get in the way of you putting the young hispanic woman in her place....

Good for her winning. That’s the easy part. Now for the real world.
I don't think that Ms Ocasio-Cortez would start a GoFundMe page for an apartment for how it would look, I could be wrong, we will find out soon enough.
There was also no pages on her which I thought was interesting. She does deserve her own page.
She has a tough road ahead of her. Let's see how she does.

"Why don't you use all those campaign funds you raised? Or did you blow it all on fancy clothes?"
You can use those funds for campaigning, including clothing. But not to rent an apartment. Thems the rules, not ver batim of course.
What conservatives were doing that? That's shameful.

"Another of the benefits is the overnight apartments as all members who live more than five miles (50 km) from the Parlament are entitled to - completely free of charge. All are located in central Stockholm: in Södermalm, in the old town and at Östermalm.
