Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who entered Congress in 2019 as a powerful voice for the progressive Democratic minority, is weighing a bid for ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, a panel in which bipartisanship and an ability to work with both establishment and liberal lawmakers of her own party will be a necessity.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of several members interested in challenging long-standing ranking members or seeking an open seat to become the top Democrat on various committees as a looming GOP trifecta is set to take power in January.
