New York City Council Member Fernando Cabrera (D) has launched a primary bid to unseat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Cabrera filed last week with the Federal Election Commission to run for the seat in New York's 14th District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.
Cabrera has represented the Bronx in New York's City Council since 2010, his campaign website notes. Politico reported that he officially began his campaign on Thursday.
“Only a Democrat is going to be able to defeat her, and it’s going to be a moderate Democrat,” he told the news outlet. “She’s a no-show in the district. She hasn’t brought about anything except division within the party.”
He added that he objects to Ocasio-Cortez's self-described democratic socialist beliefs, her "Green New Deal" plan and her support for "Medicare for All."

Candidate Cabrera on cell phone: “So Alexandra, this summit meeting with you will be at Fort Marcy Park just before midnight? I know it’s good to get together and see if we can work out a compromise but isn’t it going to be dark out there?”
““Only a Democrat is going to be able to defeat her,..,”
Must be a lot of geniuses in your district there amigo.
AOC: I’ll be in President Warren’s cabinet by then anyway. Secretary of State or maybe Commerce. Commerce office has an Eastern window view. Got some ideas for remodeling, too.
Good laugh we needed. Thanks.
I’d send him a couple bucks.

It’s true and I wish him luck.
She’s not as bad as the representative of Al-Shabab from MN or the representative of Hamas from MI, but she’s right up there.
It’s the Bronx, so even the Republicans are Democrats. /sarc
This idiot’s 15 minutes of fame is ticking away
She would be the quickest flash in the political frying pan in history if she loses
She’d get her own show on CNN or MSLSD if it happens.
It’s a very lucrative position. the last I heard, back in the Spring her personal wealth had surpassed 2 million dollars.
No wonder she can afford $250 hair cuts.
He's no fun at all.
