Host Desiree Joy Frias sits down with Bronx native and NY-14 Congressional Candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Ellie's Diner in Parkchester to discuss her campaign and the importance of equitable representation in congress. We talk about growing up in The Bronx and how important it is for women to have a seat at the table, especially for a congressional position that represents part of the Bronx which has 164,000 more women then men in the borough, and the highest concentration of women small business owners in New York State.

This episode was written and produced by Desiree Joy Frias, with audio engineering by Adam Castar.
Editors note: Usually, when there is a race with multiple candidates, we would release audio from all candidates. But according to direct phone calls with staff from Congressman Crowley's Queens office, his office is not interested in conducting press interviews related to this campaign. Therefore, as of May 22, 2018, there is no pending interview or audio with Congressman Crowley. We will update this notice if anything changes.
