Resumen

Since 1899, at least one Hispanic has served in every Congress of the United States (U.S.). When the U.S. 116th Congress convened on January 3, 2019, it comprised the highest number of Hispanics in its history with a record of 48 between both chambers (44 in the House of Representatives and 4 in the Senate). This article focuses on the figure of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, perhaps being the most important emerging Hispanic member in the current Congress, whose top policy priority is a “Green New Deal”, a comprehensive plan to address climate change in the U.S.
