Common Defense is proud to endorse Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 14th Congressional District. Common Defense represents more than 500,000 veterans, military family members, and civilian allies committed to defending democracy and ensuring that our government works for all Americans.

“When this administration sent DOGE to gut the VA and strip healthcare from those who earned it, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was among the first in Congress to call it out and fight back. She has been an unwavering defender of the PACT Act, a vocal opponent of VA privatization, and a consistent ally for working families in and out of uniform. Common Defense is proud to endorse a leader who treats veterans’ care as a non-negotiable obligation, not a line item to be cut.” —Jose Vasquez, U.S. Army veteran and Executive Director of Common Defense

“Our members in New York know Rep. Ocasio-Cortez shows up – not just at election time, but when the votes that matter are being cast. She has stood firm for veterans’ benefits, economic justice, and the integrity of our democratic institutions at every turn. Common Defense is ready to mobilize our grassroots network in New York to send her back to Congress.” —Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director at Common Defense
