She's excited a lot of young people, especially young women, across the country about public service and politically progressive causes. That's not about her district in particular, that's national leadership.

She has pushed, authored, and sponsored the Green New Deal, which is a bold and long overdue plan for getting this country out from under its addiction to carbon energy sources.

She's been the national leader in calling for minority marginalized communities to be included in the Green New Deal reforms.

She's been deleting sponsor on over a dozen piece of legislation, looks like 95% of all bills introduced are still working their way through the committee system

She's set the pace for all New York politicians forgetting on social media, which increases accountability and accessibility for elected politicians. She's also innovated in networking with local Brooklyn and Queens office holders to streamline her constituent services office--something that was necessary to build fences since she got elected by defeating the old power broker who held that seat before her.

The smear that she's not doing anything for her district sounds like an un-researched Fox News talking point.
