Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in Texas this weekend helping distribute supplies and raise more money to help those who are suffering from one of the worst week’s in the state’s history. So far her fundraising efforts have helped bring in $3 million. Today she wrote, “I can’t believe we’ve surged past $3 million for Texas! Houston Food Bank is using resources like these to try to get 30,000 meal boxes out in the next TWO days. They’re just 1 of 12 Texas orgs were now partnering with.”
We hit $3.2 MILLION in Texas relief support last night!
One of the places it’s going is the Houston Food Bank. I’m visiting Reps. @JacksonLeeTX18 & @LaCongresista with volunteers to pack meals.
The bank REALLY needs helping hands.

The 31-year-old New York City Congresswoman is being recognized on both sides of the aisle for supporting Texas in its time of need.
Thank you @AOC.
Texans won’t forget who was there for us in our greatest time of need. https://t.co/xzvy1sFhMH
