Here are the congressional candidates AOC funded with her new PACRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's new project to help more liberals win seats in Washington raked in $462,834 in the first quarter of 2020, according to new federal campaign filings.
The Courage to Change PAC also spent $84,288 in the first three months of 2020, with about half going for operating expenses and $36,000 to her hand-picked federal candidates -- eight females progressives.
Separately, Ocasio-Cortez raised an impressive $2.7 million in 2020 alone for her own election to New York's 14th Congressional District.
Just a freshman, Ocasio-Cortez has proven her fundraising prowess in her short time in Washington. Her move in February to announce a leadership PAC further demonstrated her desire to expand her influence across the country and to buck the traditional party establishment of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
Frustrated by the DCCC's incumbent protection programs that disadvantaged insurgent candidates like herself, AOC launched her Courage to Change PAC to give progressive challengers a chance to compete against established incumbents.
