Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Bronx and Queens, endorsed Alessandra Biaggi for State Senate in the Democratic primary in District 34 in the Bronx and Westchester on Thursday, Sept. 13.

“I’m proud to endorse Alessandra Biaggi for New York State Senate in District 34, which we share as part of Congressional District 14,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Alessandra’s been knocking doors nonstop on issues of housing, jobs, and climate. She’ll be a powerful Democratic voice in the State Senate.”

“Alexandria’s June 26 amazing victory provided an example of what can be done by relying on the energy of the people, rather than special interests. I’m honored by her endorsement,” Biaggi said.
