Mrs Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, the woman who inspired U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take up the fight for the ‘little guy,’ says she always knew her daughter would make something of herself.
She knew even before the birth, 29 years ago, of the New York Democrat who has driven the right crazy since her surprise congressional win last year.
‘Her dad and I were preparing for Alexandria’s birth and still picking names,’ the 56-year-old mom of two said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. ‘And he came up with ”Alexandria.” I thought about it for a while and I said: ”Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That sounds very powerful. That’ll be her name.”’
Mrs Blanca Ocasio-Cortez – or BOC as her signature reads – is still settling down in Eustis, Florida, a small city in the far suburbs of Orlando.
She moved into the out-of-the-way lakefront community shortly before Democrat AOC filed her candidacy to become the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress.
