PETITIONS FORMALLY FILED FOR AOC’S REELECTION.

Team AOC and volunteers organized a comprehensive petitioning program to collect nearly 5,000 signed petitions.

(April 4, 2022) - The Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign has formally presented nearly 5,000 signed petitions for her re-election to the New York Board of Elections, well exceeding the 1,250 signatures required.  Team AOC’s field team and volunteers knocked over 10,000 doors in NY-14, completed 395 volunteer shifts, and ran over 85 petitioning events in 35 days. In addition to those efforts, Team AOC organized joint petitioning events with Senators Jessica Ramos, Michael Gianaris and Gustavo Rivera and Assemblymembers Zohran Mamdani, Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, Catalina Cruz, Karines Reyes and Nathalia Fernandez.

“Our field team, volunteers, supporters, and partners crushed it on the streets and doors of NY-14 to collect the signatures we needed to put Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the ballot”, said Field Director Jeremy Parkin, “Our movement is strong going into 2022. The signatures we gathered show that the Congresswoman and her vision continue to inspire and move people in our community. Team AOC worked day and night for the last month to recruit and train volunteers in multiple languages and organize petitioning events all across NY-14.”

New York is one of a handful of states that still requires all candidates to file petitions with voter signatures to secure a place on the ballot.
