“We need to put individuals forward and make the incumbent work for re-election,” Doherty said.
The three potential contenders agree on one thing: They believe Ocasio-Cortez has neglected her district, which encompasses a northeast section of The Bronx including Throgs Neck and Parkchester and a northwest portion of Queens including Jackson Heights and College Point.
It took the congresswoman two months to open a district office in Queens.
“She completely ignores the people in this district,” medical writer Ruth Papazian, 61, told The Post during an interview at the homestyle Italian eatery Patricia’s of Morris Park.
Papazian still lives a few blocks away with her 85-year-old mother in the same apartment she grew up in after her parents emigrated from Egypt in 1956.
“I’ve lived here my whole life. I know the heart and soul of this community. The people here have scratched and clawed their way into the middle class, and they’re not about to be impoverished with the high taxes it will take to make the Green New Deal and Medicare for All,” Papazina said, citing two of Ocasio-Cortez’s policy goals.
AOC has no clue that she was voted in because the millennials feared the other Dem would raise taxes. Now, AOC has no clue, very few clues actually, and does not understand what is happening. Her constituents, like the rest of us, are stuck having to give up our salaries to pay for all the crap we bought from the Swamp. If her voters go Republican, then they are just admitting voters regret. It is the third time her voters screwed themselves, their situation might be hopeless.
