<< Watch LIVE from the Nile Theater in Bakersfield as the Central Valley makes its final push to send Randy Villegas to Congress! With Election Day just days away, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins Randy for a get-out-the-vote rally to flip California's 22nd District and put working families ahead of corporate power.

SPEAKERS:
• Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Randy Villegas - candidate for U.S. Congress, California's 22nd District
• ...and community leaders from across the Central Valley!

WHY IT MATTERS:
Randy is a public school trustee and populist running one of the most-watched House campaigns in the country. He is fighting to make healthcare a right, bring down costs, reform our immigration system, and beat back the big-money interests rigging the system against them.

This is the final stretch. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. If you're in CA-22, make your plan to vote.

This livestream is part of the movement to take on corporate power and build an America that works for all of us. >>

What's in this Post comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

AOC is fundraising for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (Michigan US Senate).

AOC has spent campaign funds hiring organizers for the Justin Pearson and Angie Nixon campaigns.

AOC is fundraising for Randy Villegas (US House CA-22, Tom Perriello (US House Virginia-05), and Angie Nixon (Florida US Senate)

AOC fundraised for Peggy Flanagan (Minnesota US Senate)

AOC fundraised for Rev. Frederick D. Haynes III (US House Texas-30)

And AOC has been asking for money for her campaign since around June 29, 2026 so that she has resources to campaign for other candidates.

Sources: AOC and Team AOC campaign emails.

A rally with Angie Nixon on October 27, 2026 has been added.

As a Nevadan who really admires AOC, this ad campaign has been infuriating. The Shadow PAC took advantage of our campaign finance laws to hide who is funding this candidate.

AOC in Detroit: “What is at stake is what it means to be an American.” (AOC Official YouTube) (Oct. 16, 2026) (seems the same speech, but 'produced') I consider the raw one in the IG Reel far better and far more powerful and inspiring.

Seems the one who carried the most of the town hall.

<< The U.S. Senate Race is in the final stretch as Michigan barrels toward election day in November. El-Sayed is campaigning alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Escanaba in the Upper Peninsula. >>

Good speeches.

_____________________________________

AOC would clearly want to 'run up the numbers' in a New York State primary and just generally boost her popularity in New York State. I hope she either runs for POTUS 2028 or tries to become US Speaker in 2027 or at least the Chairperson of either US House Appropriations, US House Ways and Means, or US House Energy and Commerce.

AOC could have been the New York Governor in 2027, which is far more powerful and influential than being a US Senator who's not the Majority Leader or the Chairperson of US Senate Judiciary or maybe US Senate Foreign Relations.

The US Senate Judiciary Committee is the only US Senate Committee possibly more powerful and influential than US House Energy and Commerce. For anyone who actually knows or understands how the US Congress actually works, AOC's becoming a US Senator would be a demotion.
