WASHINGTON — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the latest high-profile Democrat to take the unusual step of opposing a colleague‘s re-election by endorsing a progressive challenger to Illinois Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski.
"I am thrilled to receive the endorsement of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” Newman said in a statement."Her unwavering dedication to fighting for social, climate and economic justice is a true inspiration." In the re-match, Newman has garnered institutional support quicker than she did in 2018, but Lipinski is also better prepared for the challenge and vowed to fight hard.
