Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, nicknamed BOC, explained how her husband's death plunged the family into uncertainty when Alexandria was still in college.
The mother of New York Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has told how her husband’s death in 2008 shaped the freshman congresswoman’s political values and pushed her to lead.
"After my husband died, the family went through tough times. Alexandria was in college, but I still had her little brother who needed to be put through school," she said. “It was scary,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I had to take medicine I was so scared. I had to stop paying for the mortgage for almost a year. I was expecting someone knocking on the door to kick me out at any time. There were even real estate people coming around to take photos of the house for when it was going to be auctioned. The worst is that I only had $50,000 left to pay on the loan.”
"My daughter works from the heart," Blanca Ocasio-Cortez said. 'What you see is what you get. She saw how unfair the system is, and she wants to change that. She saw struggling parents putting their children through school, but also how difficult life was for people in the Bronx compared to Yorktown.
