QUOTABLE SENTENCES FRASES CITABLES I’M A BLACK MAN RAISED BY A SINGLE MOTHER IN A HOUSING PROJECT. THAT STORY DOESN’T USUALLY END IN CONGRESS. SOY UN HOMBRE NEGRO CRIADO POR UNA MADRE SOLTERA EN UN PROYECTO DE VIVIENDA. ESA HISTORIA NO SUELE TERMINAR EN EL CONGRESO.
Former middle school teacher and candidate for NY's 16th district, Jamaal Bowman, after his victory in the primary.
TEN YEARS AGO A MAJOR LAW FIRM RESCINDED A JOB OFFER BECAUSE I WAS “TOO MUSLIM” AND WOULD “MAKE CLIENTS UNCOMFORTABLE.” LAST NIGHT I BECAME THE FIRST AMERICAN MUSLIM IN VIRGINIA HISTORY TO WIN A CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY ELECTION. HACE DIEZ AÑOS UN IMPORTANTE BUFETE DE ABOGADOS RESCINDIÓ UNA OFERTA DE TRABAJO PORQUE YO ERA "DEMASIADO MUSULMÁN" Y "HACÍA QUE LOS CLIENTES SE SINTIERAN INCÓMODOS". ANOCHE ME CONVERTÍ EN EL PRIMER MUSULMÁN AMERICANO EN LA HISTORIA DE VIRGINIA EN GANAR UNA ELECCIÓN PRIMARIA DEL CONGRESO.

WALL STREET CEOS, FROM GOLDMAN SACHS TO BLACKSTONE, POURED IN MILLIONS TO DEFEAT OUR GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN TONIGHT. BUT THEIR MONEY COULDN’T BUY A MOVEMENT. LOS CEOS DE WALL STREET, DESDE GOLDMAN SACHS HASTA BLACKSTONE, SE VOLCARON EN MILLONES PARA DERROTAR NUESTRA CAMPAÑA DE BASE ESTA NOCHE. PERO SU DINERO NO PODÍA COMPRAR UN MOVIMIENTO. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortéz on her victory in the Democratic primary.
WE REPEAT AFTER ME: POVERTY IS NOT A CHOICE. REPITE DESPUÉS DE MÍ: LA POBREZA NO ES UNA ELECCIÓN. Congresswoman Barbara Lee on the economic inequalities in the country.

YESTERDAY’S ELECTION RESULTS SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING CHANGE. THEY WANT LEADERS WHO WILL FIGHT FOR THEM, NOT FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS. THEY WANT SOLUTIONS, NOT THE POLITICS OF THE PAST. LOS RESULTADOS DE LAS ELECCIONES DE AYER MUESTRAN QUE LA GENTE ESTÁ EXIGIENDO UN CAMBIO. QUIEREN LÍDERES QUE LUCHEN POR ELLOS, NO POR INTERESES ESPECIALES. QUIEREN SOLUCIONES, NO LA POLÍTICA DEL PASADO. Former presidential candidate and now activist Julián Castro on the results of the primary elections.
