@ocasio-cortez.house.govAs heavy rain and flooding continues to impact our city, it's important to monitor the latest forecasts and avoid unnecessary travel. If you must travel, never walk/drive into flooded areas and sign up for NOTIFY NYC to receive emergency notifications. Stay safe, NY-14.

@ocasio-cortez.house.govNew York City has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. The BUSES Act would directly target New York's bus idling restrictions. If Republicans want this for their kids, that's their business. But I will not allow this to be done to mine.
