Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–NY) will join Congressional candidate Randy Villegas for a rally in Bakersfield on Friday.
Ocasio-Cortez previously endorsed Villegas, a Visalia Unified trustee who is challenging Rep. David Valadao (R–Hanford).
The big picture: The Villegas campaign announced Monday that Ocasio-Cortez is coming to Bakersfield for a get-out-the-vote rally with the midterm elections coming up in the next few weeks.
State of play: Ocasio-Cortez is coming to Bakersfield shortly after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–VT) came to the Valley to campaign with Villegas.
Sanders appeared alongside Villegas earlier this month as part of his Fighting Oligarchy Tour.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez also stumped for Villegas during a Bakersfield rally in April.
What we’re watching: The rally with Ocasio-Cortez will start at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Villegas campaign did not publicly announce the location of the rally.
