Ocasio-Cortez Won’t Seek Top Oversight Post

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Monday she won’t seek the top Democratic position on the Oversight Committee, citing the caucus’ preference for seniority,” Politico reports.

Said Ocasio-Cortez: “It’s actually clear to me that the underlying dynamics in the caucus have not shifted with respect to seniority as much as I think would be necessary, so I believe I’ll be staying put at Energy and Commerce.”
