Scherie Murray, a New York businesswoman who immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News has learned.
In a phone interview, Murray, 38, confirmed her intention to run for the New York congressional seat as a Republican.
There is a crisis in Queens, and its called AOC, Murray told Fox News. And instead of focusing on us, shes focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon New York deal.
Murray, who was born in Jamaica and moved to the United States when she was 9, is officially launching her campaign Wednesday with an introductory video that takes sharp jabs at the 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez.
Your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance," Murray said in the video. "Queens and the Bronx needs someone who will create jobs instead of turning them away."
Asked about Ocasio-Cortezs brand of Democratic socialism, Murray said, I think its far, far to the left and it is not connecting with everyday Americans.
As for "Medicare-for-all," which Ocasio-Cortez has embraced, the Republican said: Medicare-for-all, I think a lot of people are happy with their current health insurance. And on the Green New Deal, the left-wing proposal to address climate change pushed by Ocasio-Ortez, she said: We know that it certainly will kill jobs.
Murray joins four other Republicans who have filed to run for the seat: former police officer John Cummings, medical journalist Ruth Papazian, construction contractor Miguel Hernandez and entrepreneur Antoine Tucker.

She needs to change parties
Same dilute the GOP vote in the primaries trick they use in Tennessee.
My best wishes to the challenger, but it is an almost perpendicular climb going up this hill in that district.
Most people there have never SEEN a Republican in the precincts, and they are not sure if they would even like to.
But who knows? After all, it was only a sliver of the registered voters in that district that even got AO-C past the primary, and once that was over, it was a downhill coast for whatever Democrat that was running for the seat.
And I love the Jamaican accent.
Her ad was just released on YouTube 5 hours ago and already has 160,000 views:
Must be a racist white supremacist.
She sounds like a serious candidate.
Thanks! Just linked the others. GREAT video! And so many views already!
Was that a Half Baked reference?
Is she a soild Reagan conservative or just riding the Anti AOC fad then become a RINO upon entering the house of representatives if she wins?
She’s been involved in conservative politics for several years. Here is an article featuring a bit of her story from 2015:

Pelosi appears to take new jab at Ocasio-Cortez, says a glass of water with a D could win their districts
-—Hopefully Scherie can pull it off without being a glass of water. ;)
Conservative yet is a self-described Moderate that just screams RINO.
Its just as I thought she’s riding the coatils of the Anti- AOC fad if she were to win she’d sellout in a heartbeat and become 100% globalist RINO.
Thats a good add. Thanks for sending it along!
From what I see she is solidly NOT a socialist and cares about HER constituents.

Hmm well by the looks of her profile, she’s been on the MAGA bandwagon for awhile:

I remember reading an article a couple no the ago that AOC’s problem with her officr is a lack of constituent service. I know that some people in her district have complained and they mentioned that with the former Congressman, he was good at “taking care of them”.
Not a chance...much too intelligent, articulate, and racist to win in that district...
Tentatively impressed.
Pretty...
