According to Fox News, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will face a GOP challenger for her seat in 2020.
Scherie Murray, who immigrated to the United States from Jamaica as a child, is a thirty-eight-year-old businesswoman from New York and told Fox she’s launching a campaign against AOC.
“There is a crisis in Queens, and it’s called AOC,” Murray told the network. “And instead of focusing on us, she’s focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon New York deal.”
There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s called AOC. She isn’t worried about us – she’s worried about being famous. That’s why I’m running for Congress. Join our movement to #unitethefight ➡️ https://t.co/rtqGz0XeAw

“AOC seeks celebrity & publicity. She thinks public service is not about serving the public, but herself. If you think you deserve better, then you’re just like me. Join our team. Let’s #unitethefight,” she tweeted.

Murray launched her campaign with a video on her web site.
I’m not finding much, but a little research reveals Murray is a Democrat-turned-Republican. Is this an attempt to dilute the Republican primary? Will Murray be a RINO with a liberal past?
