Concerns Grow in AOC’s District as Crime Rates Rise and Residents Seek Change

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is continuing to draw national attention with her public speaking tour alongside Senator Bernie Sanders and other high-profile events. While her presence grows on the national stage, some constituents in her home district say they’re feeling left behind amid concerns over rising crime and public safety.

Since Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was elected to represent parts of the Bronx and Queens in 2019, major crime in some neighborhoods has increased significantly, according to data cited by The New York Post.

In particular, the 110th Precinct in Queens, which includes part of Roosevelt Avenue, has experienced a 105% increase in major crimes such as burglary, robbery, and auto theft. The 115th Precinct, also in her district, has seen a reported 85% rise.

Community Frustration Mounts
Some residents say that while Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has become a prominent voice nationally, local issues have not received the same attention.

“She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” said Elmhurst resident Guadalupe Alvarez, who once supported the congresswoman but now feels let down. Alvarez described feeling forced to consider leaving her community due to safety concerns and said attempts to raise the issue at a local town hall were unsuccessful.
