Self-described socialist and Democratic “squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) (shown above) is the face of today’s increasingly far-Left Democratic party.

Whether it’s calling President Donald Trump a racist for the umpteenth time or pushing her Green New Deal — a smorgasbord of pricey, big government programs — her radicalism knows no bounds.

For good or ill, AOC is probably the most well-known young Latina woman in American politics right now.

But now another young woman intends to take that crown.

And she’s a conservative.

Catalina Lauf, 26, is running for a seat from Illinois’ 14th Congressional District against Democrat Lauren Underwood. If Lauf wins, she would become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, beating the current title holder, Ocasio-Cortez.

Lauf is the daughter of immigrants.

Her Guatemalan mother immigrated to the U.S. legally to start a family and live the American dream.

And the candidate has a few words for today’s Democrats who are always trying to divide the country.

“Today, angry voices seek to divide us by skin color, economic class, and where we come from,” Lauf says in a voiceover in her new ad. “They use envy and bitterness, trying to convince us to surrender our personal freedoms for the false promises of socialism.”

During her message, images of Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) appear on screen.

“They forget that America is an idea, an idea that we are all created equal, and that what we have in common is far more powerful than any of our differences. They forget what makes America great is all of us coming together.”

“Our own representative in Congress calls Republicans racist and sexist,” Lauf continued, referring to her Democratic opponent. “They forget that America is an idea, an idea that we are all created equal and that what we have in common is far more powerful than any of our differences. They forget what makes America great is all of us coming together.”

It’s powerful stuff.

A conservative young woman of color, Lauf also worked as a Trump administration adviser.

And she’s not afraid to let the Left know exactly what she thinks.

The Daily Wire did an in-depth interview with Lauf; in it, she emphasized how important it is to push back on the hard-Left’s divisive tactics and to confront head-on the specter of creeping socialism.

It should also be noted that Catalina Lauf’s incumbent Democratic opponent only won her seat by 52.5 percent in the last election — and yet still veers too far leftward for many in the district.

In other words, it’s not impossible for this promising young conservative woman to win.
