Democratic Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York talks to reporters as she arrives for a class photo with incoming newly elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 14, 2018.

Big banks could be about to get a high-profile enemy in a very powerful place.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is a registered Democrat but identifies as a democratic socialist, is in line to be appointed to the House Financial Services Committee, according to a Politico report.


"I think with our district, we can be ambitious, so we're kind of swinging for the fences on committees," Ocasio-Cortez told Hill.tv in an interview after her win. "We might as well ask for something big."

With prominent Democrats looking to unwind two years of deregulation under President Donald Trump, the seat will put her in a position to exert substantial influence.

Her appointment also will give new committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-California, an important ally.

LOL. From what Massie has told us about the process, there is no way Pelosi would give her a prime committee spot. Apparently Sandy Cortez has a bit to learn about Congressional politics. She should have demanded a spot in exchange for supporting Pelosi. Did Pelosi give her anything for that sell-out?

Yes , Pelosi did not have her arrested and charged when she was picketing inside Pelosis office a few weeks ago .

She still doesn't know the value of a committee spot. That's where the real bucks are made.

She might be able to get a job working on the grounds at the Pelosi vineyard . Then she can pretend it is a committee .
