Open seat race for NY-14 after Ocasio-Cortez retirement

This is an open seat race for New York's 14th congressional district, as incumbent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not on the ballot. Candidates include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Felipe Garcia, and Marty Dolan, though Ocasio-Cortez's presence as a candidate suggests she may be running for re-election despite the open seat designation. The race focuses on issues such as education, public safety, cost of living, and mental health, with Garcia holding positions on most topics.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

In coverage

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced a bill to limit broker compensation for Medicare Advantage plans, capping what agents and brokers can earn from for-profit Medicare Advantage organizations and redefining compensation to exclude financial perks like bonuses and vacations. She argues that for-profit insurers invest heavily in marketing, leading people to misunderstand that Medicare Advantage is corporate, for-profit managed insurance rather than traditional Medicare.
