Not afraid of the eyes of others, political and dancing posture as chic

From New York Bronx District to Washington's Capitol Hills, it is a near-real road, and this path of women's political participation continues.

She certainly didn't apologise for it. Ogachu-Curtiz instead jumped again outside the congressional office. She uploaded the movie in a tweet response:

I hear the GOP thinks dancing is scandalous.

Wait till and find out congresswomen dance too!

Have a great weekend everyone:)

I hear some people think that women's dancing can be treated as a scandal. Then I'm going to tell them that members of Congress can Dance, too.

She was even more humorous in an interview with the Hill Capitol : "Very few politicians will be praised for dancing well, and I am delighted to be one of them. 」

In her speech, she said:

Justice is not just the concept of books, justice is about our daily drinking water, justice is about every spit we have, justice is about how we vote, and justice is about how much women can get paid. Justice is about whether we can live with our children, and justice is about "staying polite" does not mean "keeping quiet."

Latino, female, working class, left, she has a lot of labels on her body. Many people thought that the label could hurt her. But she was not afraid, confident as the Flames ignited New York in the January. Her posture in politics is as chic as dancing.
