Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is Watch Wet Woman in the Wind (2016)having quite the year.
Since becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress in 2018, Ocasio-Cortez has set out to find her footing in American politics. So far this year she's made a fair number of profoundly eloquent speeches on the House floor, gotten real about climate change by sponsoring the Green New Deal, publicly challenged several of Donald Trump's actions, and more.

As the 29-year-old continues to make a powerful impression on the American people, let's look back at 12 of her best 2019 moments so far.
Ocasio-Cortez's year kicked off with a petty dose of drama after the GOP criticized an old video that showed her doing the famousBreakfast Clubdance when she was in college. *gasp*The congresswoman responded to the backlash accordingly, and by that, we mean she recorded a present-day video of herself dancing into her brand new office.

When asked if people think Donald Trump is a racist, many avoid answering the question directly. Not Ocasio-Cortez, though. In a January interview with Anderson Cooper on CBS's 60 Minutes, when asked if she believes Trump's a racist, the congresswoman shook her head and said, "Yeah, yeah, no question."

In January, Ocasio-Cortez also made her first speech on the House floor during President Trump's government shutdown. The congresswoman addressed the 35-day-long shutdown (the longest in America's history) directly, and the speech reportedly broke a C-SPAN streaming record on Twitter.
Shortly after Ocasio-Cortez took office, several of her supporters left positive messages of thanks and encouragement on Post-it notes outside of her office. By February, the wall of Post-its had grown so massive that the congresswoman had to move the notes insideher office. The people stan AOC.

Just look at those withering stares. Iconic.

Another powerful Ocasio-Cortez speech happened in February when she attempted to take on Big Pharma. The congresswoman asked a series of in-depth questions about public investment return on the development of drugs, and raised a big discussion online.
And then there was the time she played a five-minute, lightning round "Corruption Game" with members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. She wound up masterfully exposing America's flawed campaign finance system. NBD.
In March, AOC memorably defended the Green New Deal to the Senate after the plan was rejected by a vote of of 57-0. Ocasio-Cortez powerfully addressed concerns that the deal was "elitist" by bringing up issues from the water in Flint, Michigan, to kids in the Bronx with childhood asthma.
