SaysWho? Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, longtime former CNBC anchor and correspondent, announced Tuesday her plan to run for Congress, challenging freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her seat representing New York’s 14th District. Quote She's not the only one hoping to take the seat, eight other Republicans and four Democrats have also announced plans to challenge Ocasio-Cortez this year. She wrote a book in 2010 called, "You Know I'm Right: More Prosperity, Less Government." Quote As the popular anchor of CNBC's daily news show Power Lunch, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera puts a new spin on conservatism. Now, in You Know I'm Right, Caruso-Cabrera presents a modern and smart approach to correcting the economic woes of the nation. Denouncing the hypocrites, she calls out the radicals on both sides of the spectrum who have frustrated voters and left fiscally conservative but socially liberal Americans feeling like a people without a party. Caruso-Cabrera maintains that by focusing on socially invasive policies, our country has lost its course. The answer is less government, not more; less spending, not more; and getting the government to stay out of our pocketbooks and out of our private lives. You Know I'm Right addresses the problems created by government overreach and speaks to the minds and hearts of nostalgic Republicans-those who believe in the strategy and approach used by Ronald Reagan. But it will also appeal to Clinton-era Democrats frustrated by the current level of exorbitant spending and excessive interference in the economy. Citing faults with both political parties, Caruso-Cabrera puts a magnifying glass on government structure, healthcare, and education, underscoring how we have gone wrong and, more important, where we need to go for a secure and prosperous future.

TwinIon Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A quick google search doesn't reveal any district specific polling, but I'd bet that AOC easily wins the primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
