Meet Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s GOP challenger, Scherie Murray: ‘There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s called AOC’

AOC's Republican challenger, Scherie Murray, accused the Democrat of being more concerned about her fame than her constituents.

According to New York businesswoman and congressional hopeful Scherie Murray, there’s a “crisis” in New York’s 14th congressional district— and she says “it’s called AOC.”

After starting out as a system analyst intern for an NYC MTA bus depot, she eventually went on to start a TV and production advertising company which — according to her website — helped expand opportunities for minorities in media. While she says AOC is turning away jobs for local New Yorkers, Murray promises she will create economic opportunities, implement comprehensive immigration reform and focus on education and infrastructure.

Going door-to-door, the Bronx-native garnered support on a progressive platform advocating for universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage, mobilizing towards climate change, abolishing ICE, ensuring housing as a human right and more.
