What a moment for her.

1. How cool! And also educational too - especially this

I had posted here before the election about how quickly these new folks will be down in D.C. after the election in order to go through orientation, get their access badges, find out where their offices will be (many of which will be where loser GOP reps will be clearing out) and also vote on the leadership positions... So hopefully more of these types of articles will continue to be posted to educate on the Civics 101 of elections and what happens just afterwards - all before they are officially sworn in!

4. Wow! Love it! How exciting! I'm expecting great things from her...

We are in Washington DC this week for new member orientation.

Wow! Love it! How exciting! I'm expecting great things from her.

Personally, I find her to be the MOST impressive first-term congresswoman to be sworn in next year. Every indication so far shows me that she takes her job seriously and approaches things with dignity and respect... especially when it comes to the senior leaders of our great Democratic party.

I am ready to get to work for the people of #KS03!

Exactly. She's going to be great!

[JHan]

20. She's very serious indeed, and I think she'll be a good rep.

Welcome change for Kansas.

[Hortensis]

25. Yes. Agree she's very impressive. Her constituents

elected her 53-44, which is a great sign. I love that she's so eager to go to work. Wonder what committee assignments she'll get.

7. Davids Provides a Sharp Contrast to Ocasio-Cortez's Entry Level Antics

I used to live in Davids' district and am so happy they finally ousted that worthless frat boy, Kevin Yoder. I think she'll do a really great job for her district and I wish her all the best! Way to go Kansas Congressional District 3!

19. AOC advocating a Green New Deal isn't antics. NT

29. It Looked More Like Grandstanding than Actually Working to Create a Specific Solution

30. AOC supports a Green New Deal and spoke to and high-fived protesters who agree. NT

28. I was far more bothered by the interference in the primary by AOC than what happened..

Recently near Pelosi's offices.

But we also know a lot more about what transpired... I think Cortez was actually being responsive to people who supported her, and I have no issue with that - that's actually her job. She and Pelosi are on the same page so the dust-up is really curious and very much a manufactured sensationalist spectacle. I wasn't bothered when I first learned of it when I had less information, and with more information now and learning more about what those activists wanted, I think we just need to let these young women settle in and represent their districts best they can. I also don't expect Cortez and Davids to be similar in their approach or focus.

9. I believe that's Emanuel Cleaver in the right hand pic

Great guy, I met him personally once and he was super nice.

And John Lewis is a national treasure of course.

[JHan]

16. When I saw the pics, pores raised.

her win was the brightest thing of 2018 midterms for me.

[bellmartin]

17. Yes, it's definitely him

He shook my baby's hand about 23 years ago, when he was MAYOR Cleaver!

13. I "fell in love" (politically speaking, that is) with her way back before her primary.....

...She sure has her head screwed on right.

Is that Lacy Clay in the second picture?

[JHan]

14. Emanuel Cleaver ;)

Been impressed with her a long while now too.

[workinclasszero]

15. It's Emanuel Cleaver I think

Great Congressman from Kansas City.

And the same old face of racial hate suffered a defeat.
