Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a Democratic Socialist who won election to Congress in the 2018 midterm election, said on Thursday that she would like a seat on the House Financial Services Committee — a powerful committee that oversees the country’s financial sector. “I think with our district, we can be ambitious, so we’re kind of swinging for the fences on committees,” Ocasio-Cortez told HillTV. “We might as well ask for something big.”
The Hill reported:
The Financial Services panel is one of the most sought-after House committees. Its members wield significant influence over Washington’s relationship with Wall Street, and the panel offers access to millions of dollars in financial sector campaign donations.
The committee is also is expected to lead several investigations into President Trump’s personal finances, along with potential connections between his businesses and Russian oligarchs.
The Hill noted in its report that the committee is a popular assignment with New York-based lawmakers, but freshmen members are rarely rewarded with a seat.

She’ll fit right in with Maxine.
Bubblehead Barbie goes to Washington!
Maybe she can make them all a drink.
Can’t congress pass a law to make it illegal to have hyphens in your name?
John Wayne said there were too many hyphenated Americans.
I’m an American with Italian ancestry.
I am not Italian.
I’ll say that sometimes when talking about my neighborhood.
But it should be understood, it is NOT an Italian neighborhood.
It’s a neighborhood of Americans mostly with Italian ancestors.
Hell my pop was born in Italy and he didn’t consider himself an Italian when he became an American citizen.
My Italian sucks because my parents didn’t believe in speaking anything but English in America.
So I mostly picked up the language when they argued :)
Does that committee have a happy hour?
I have a feeling AOC will not easily be taking ‘no’ for an answer. I’m going to enjoy watching her fellow Democrats learn this lesson the hard way the first time she mobilizes an army of activists in the halls of Congress.
ridiculous, but we can’t put it past the destructive D party machine
Who is more intelligently suited for the job?
I bet they WANT someone as stupid as her on it. She will believe anything.
[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]
Great. Teaming up with Maxine Waters.
Democrats love this stuff. The Democrats will be the end of this nation.
A socialist on a finance committee. What could go wrong with that?
Well, they need someone to fetch the coffee and bottled waters full of gin... Seems like that would be a match for her skill set.
This bartender is good for a laugh each time she says anything.
And the Senate says:
She should, like, get the Nobel Prize ‘n junk.
She can do the new math.
“I’m an American with Italian ancestry.
I am not Italian.”
Right on! That’s a difficult concept for many to understand.
Pelosi: well honey, we don’t have any openings in Finance right now, but we’d like to appoint your Chairman of the House Homecomjng Committee.
