Ocasio-Cortez builds political army, and a fundraising machine to match
By Gabby Birenbaum - 06/21/20 08:30 AM EDT

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has spent more money than any House Democrat seeking reelection this year, building a massive political team and an even bigger money machine.

An analysis of the freshman firebrand's prodigious spending shows Ocasio-Cortez has nearly 40 staffers on her campaign, with 30 having been hired in 2020 — a staff size more typical of a top-tier Senate campaign than a congresswoman seeking reelection in a safely progressive seat.

Ocasio-Cortez had spent $6.3 million through June 3, according to her latest FEC report, sixth overall among House candidates.


Just two years after she pulled off a stunning upset over a veteran lawmaker, Ocasio-Cortez has become a magnet for small-dollar donors. She has raised more than $10.5 million, about 80 percent of which came from donors giving under $200, the FEC reports show.

AOC couldn't build a Lego model even if it only used one block, so who is actually doing the building...........George is that you?

Laugh at the occasional-communist if you must, but I sense she's goin' places "in the party".

She may be only the "occasional" communist, but there are plenty of real ones behind her...
