Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s fundraising efforts for the people of Texas have surpassed $5 million, the Democrat announced Sunday night.
Ocasio-Cortez’s fundraiser to help those impacted by last week’s severe winter storm and its aftermath is just one aspect of the New York representative’s attempt to help those impacted by a mass power grid outage that left millions without power, heat, and safe drinking water.
“That’s the New York spirit, that’s the Texas spirit, and that’s the American spirit,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on Saturday while working with other representatives in Houston at a local food bank. “When disaster strikes, this is not just an issue for Texans; this is an issue for our entire country.”
