    One of the only people in Congress actually fighting for working people…

    At 35 she’ll be less than half the age of the person who held it this congress…

    Domtt worry, that guy didn’t die or retire, he’s gunning for a higher committee and completely unironically portraying himself as “young blood” at 72

    I hope she gets it. She needs those higher positions on her resume to prep her for higher office. She’s 35 right now so technically she could run in 4 years, although that may be too soon to get the votes. That would be exciting though.

      She’s only 35?!?! I knew she was young but I was thinking young by Congress standards.

        She started her career in 2018 at 29 years old!

        Obama became president at 48. So she has 13 years left to be his age. That’s a lot of time to build her rep. I think she’s doing a lot of great things now, I just don’t think she could win the presidential election at this point. However, there aren’t a lot options in the Democratic Party
