There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s called AOC.
Scherie Murray was born in Jamaica, West Indies, and came to New York City with her family when she was nine. Growing up in Southeast Queens, Scherie learned early on about the importance of hard work, the value of a good education and the strength of a united community.
Scherie went to I.S. 192 where she was a gymnast. She then graduated with an outstanding community service award from the Law, Government and Community Service Magnet High School (formerly Andrew Jackson H.S.) and became the captain of her high school’s gymnastics team.
When she was 17, Scherie worked as a systems analyst for the NYC MTA Jamaica Bus Depot. While earning her Associate of Applied Science in Micro Computer Business Systems and a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism, Scherie taught gymnastics for an after-school program in Far Rockaway, Queens. She also volunteered and served as senior editor on her college newspaper – The New Tech Times.
In 2004, Scherie had a vision of starting her own company. With a mission to address the lack of minorities in media, Scherie created The Esemel Group. Through advertising, production and programming work, Esemel generated employment opportunities for minorities in New York City.
Scherie is also a proud Veterans advocate and continually works to revitalize her district by advocating for small businesses and economic development, promoting more school choices for parents, strengthening community police relations with commonsense solutions, and starting a larger dialogue around comprehensive immigration reform.

They don't even need a republican, they just need someone who's not a complete nitwit.
Then again, I kind of hope she stays. The memes are worth it.

I fail to understand why you all feel so threatened by her. She's one little woman, extremely bright and articulate, who freely shares her ideas and passions. Of course I understand why you don't like her, but it's beyond dislike. It's fear? Threatened?
Good grief, she's just one little woman, she's NOT the Democratic party. It also doesn't speak highly of anyone who wants to silence her. I mean, that's what actually happens in Russia and NK.
She nailed it when she said "weak minds" essentially attack the person rather than the ideas (referencing Trump).
Play the ball. Not the player.
