Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that there is “hunger for new faces" and "hunger for new voices” in the Democratic Party.
“I think there’s a lot of young members of Congress who would be great in leadership positions,” Barragán said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Barragán was responding to a question about New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose surprise defeat of incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) last week in a primary raised speculation over whether Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive outlook represents the future of the party.
Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist, ran on a platform of abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and “Medicaid for all.”
“It’s so great to see women taking over the cycle and women coming ahead,” Barragán said. “We saw that in what happened to Alexandria and credit to her.”
A record-breaking number of women rare running for office this election cycle. Since November, more than 20,000 women have contacted EMILY's List, which supports the campaigns of pro-choice Democratic women. During that time, more than 15,000 women have contacted She Should Run, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to increasing the number of women in office.
“[Ocasio-Cortez] started early, she knocked on doors, and she spoke to the voters in her district,” Barragán said.

Hope that communist looker in NY wins. District is too blue.
Furthering their evil agenda.
yes, go full throttle to socialism
Commie Red, you mean.
Self-inflicted.
Spending 8 years sabotaging up and coming talent so Herself could have her coronation really backfired on them, didn’t it?
LOL.
The Democrats have a lot of marginalized groups. Certainly that is the case in the Bronx because we have a number of them fleeing here to escape. The thing is, there is a reason why these good people are fleeing. This area has some of the highest crime rates in the country, there are a large number of horribly rated high schools, and this is an area known for the school to prison pipeline. It is no wonder that the voters took the offramp from the representation that they had. That doesn’t mean that the whole country wants to go socialist. That means that the Bronx will likely have a far more responsive representative than they had before.
They want socialism so they can steal everything in sight and have no one to answer to
Oh don’t worry Comrade there will be plenty of new faces in your Party but nowhere near enough to sniff power.
Message to voters: The bottom line is that a vote for any Democrat is a vote for open borders and socialism.
“House Dem: There’s ‘hunger’ for new faces, voices in party leadership”

Never has been any shorrtage of “climbers” anywhere, anytime...!!!!!!!!!!+++++++++++

Socialism and Abortion is the recipe to kill the Republic. The left is sooo close yet so far. Something will have to give. President Trump will not be President forever. Our side needs longer planning.
They’ve got the young to look to. Anyone older than, maybe early thirties, has been the bitch of the sclerotics.
I heard Gloria Allred (sp?) has scheduled a press conference with a group of women accusing President Trump’s nominee of sexual harassment on the day he announces his pick whoever it might be.
But no changes in what they stand for.
The Bolsheviks are taking a beating BS not selling.
The Bolsheviks were never popular in Russia before the Revolution.
What they were were the most ruthless.
