AOC raises $10.5 million ahead of heated June 23 primary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., once again proved her fundraising prowess by raising $2.4 million in just two months as she kicks up her campaign operation before her June 23 primary election, according to federal campaign finance reports she filed this week.

Her April and May cash haul brings the total raised for her reelection bid to more than $10.5 million, making the freshman rep among the best fundraisers for the Democrats, along with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., federal elections records show.

Ocasio-Cortez, 30, is facing a spirited Democratic primary challenge from former TV journalist and CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who is running as a pro-business moderate in the Queens and Bronx district. She's hit Ocasio-Cortez for opposing Amazon bringing one of its headquarters to New York.

How much of that money came from outside her district? I’m guessing most of it.

Which ought to serve as a nice post-House gig nest egg. Fat chance she’ll actually use it for its intended purpose.

Most of her money is coming from ACTBLUE in small amounts hundreds of times a day.

ActBlue is a nonprofit technology organization established in June 2004 that enables Democrats, progressive groups, and left-leaning nonprofits to raise money on the Internet by providing them with online fundraising software. Its stated mission is to "empower small-dollar donors"

Bullshit, but that's how the game is played.

The other way around. AOC has been particularly adept at organizing the cash flow from the get-go.

It's why she has so much leverage over Pelosi.

She came INTO Congress with a mission to focus her $$ on targeting Democrats who don't toe her line.

She has a LOT of outside networks.

If I lived in AOC’s district (shudder) and NY had open primaries, I’d consider crossing over just to vote for Caruso-Cabrera. She’s got to be smarter than AOC. My dog is smarter than AOC.

“My dog is smarter than AOC.”

Your dog is likely more thoughtful than the majority of elected office holders, but unfortunately isn’t on the ballot (that I know of)..
