They don’t call them public servants for nothing.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) was seen coming to the rescue of a congressional staffer who needed help jump-starting his car’s battery after it died outside the U.S. Capitol.

In a now-viral photo shared by her chief of staff on Wednedsay, Ocasio-Cortez can be seen applying a portable charger to the car’s battery as two Capitol Police officers and the staffer, identified as Evan Hollander, look on.

“I was very starstruck and so thankful for her help!” said Hollander, staff assistant and driver for Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), in a newsletter by NOTUS, a Washington publication from the Allbritton Journalism Institute.

Hollander said he was preparing to take off with Larson after the congressman completed some votes when he found his car had died. He had never used his jump-starter before, however, and couldn’t figure out how it worked.

Larson expressed his own gratitude to Ocasio-Cortez on social media, saying, “Congress is a hands-on job!”

The New York Democrat suggested she was merely paying it forward.

“We’ve all needed a jump at some point! Happy to lend a hand,” she wrote back.
