In 2018, four women decide to run for Congress in the United States midterm elections: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Cori Bush of Missouri, Paula Jean Swearingen of West Virginia, and Amy Vilela of Nevada…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

While it’s a rough time for politics in America – and for politics, just in general – this inspiring story of the women that ran for Congress during last year’s midterm elections is an uplifting and hopeful reminder of the good people that are serving their country, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
