In a series of posts Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said that after meeting "several" people employed in Senate and House offices working side jobs in order to make a living, she believes it's time for Congress to set the example for the nation by providing a "DC living wage" to all people working on Capitol Hill.
"This week I went to dive spot in DC for some late night food. I chatted up the staff," she wrote in the first tweet. "SEVERAL bartenders, managers, & servers *currently worked in Senate + House offices.* This is a disgrace. Congress of ALL places should raise MRAs so we can pay staff an actual DC living wage."
