拉美裔服務生成美國政壇新星：28歲的奧卡西歐—寇特茲創造民主黨驚奇

她說：「競選活動前半段，整整6、7個月，我只上門拜訪，請主人邀鄰居到客廳開小型咖啡派對，我們就是這樣起步的。」

除了挨家挨戶拜訪、勤打電話催票，她的競選活動還結合數位攻勢，運用社群媒體臉書（Facebook）、推特（Twitter）和Instagram接觸年輕選民，傳達免費公立大學、全民醫療保險、裁撤移民暨海關執法局（ICE）等進步主義訊息。

Friday nights with Ocasio2018. This is what our house parties look like - we aren’t afraid to open the hood on our organizing and fundraising events, because they are meant for *everyone.* . Many big-dollar politicians close these events to the public, often because they require you to donate at least $2,500 to attend! That’s not our style. We acknowledge that there are many ways to give - your time, your expertise, by helping organize events, AND by donating whatever amount you can. . Our house parties bring everyday people TOGETHER to talk about our campaign and identify what you can do to help. They always begin with an invitation from a supporter to come visit their neighborhood. The supporter hosts and invites people they know in the community. This helps more folks in the community learn about us in a comfortable environment. It’s social, laid-back vibe where we are free to have honest conversations and get revved up to change the world! . Want to host an event or house party for Ocasio2018? DM me!

5月底，奧卡西歐—寇特茲推出2分鐘自傳式宣傳片，投射「來自布朗克斯的女孩」的形象。

這段在網路爆紅的影片與家住華盛頓的克勞里呈現鮮明對比。奧卡西歐—寇特茲在片中搭地鐵，克勞里開車；奧卡西歐—寇特茲將自己形塑為社區一分子，克勞里則試圖展現對選區多元族裔的關懷。截至初選日，奧卡西歐—寇特茲的影片在推特觀看次數超過50萬，克勞里不到9萬次。

贏得初選後，奧卡西歐—寇特茲不認為種族是獲勝關鍵。她說：「如果認為選區人口組成造就選舉結果，那就大錯特錯了，完全錯看我們的成就。」
