Scherie Murray, a Jamaican immigrant, is planning on challenging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for her House seat in 2020.

“There is a crisis in Queens, and it’s called AOC,” Murray, who is a Republican and New York businesswoman, told Fox News ahead of her Wednesday announcement. “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.”
