Ocasio-Cortez’s Known Donors From Her Own District Are Nearly Non-Existent, FEC Records Show

Only 10 people who live within Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional district have been recorded making donations to her reelection campaign in 2019, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of available Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

Ocasio-Cortez outraised all other 87 freshmen representatives in the first half of 2019 in individual contributions, but the New York Democrat came in second-to-last place in terms of reported itemized contributions from the people she represents.

She's raising money, but not from the people in her district.

LOL! Who was in last place?

The money comes from other sources, soros and others

Obviously the people in her district realize she's an embarrassment. The money to try to keep her in office is coming from other outside sources. If the 'rats were really interested in interference in the election process there it is, right there in a nutshell. "Her" people apparently don't want her back but outside entities do and are putting their thumb on the scales improving her chances.

Me? Personally I'd like to see her stay for several reasons:

One, she provides great comedy. For an educated person, she is pushing beyond "ditzy" into the "head scratchingly ignorant" realm.

Two, she voices all the unpalatable leftist goals that brighter leftists know to keep quiet about. Seriously, she's giving the public a peek at the incompetence and blind adherence to agenda we normally don't see until leftists are in power.

Three, she is polarizing the 'rats. She is making enough noise that enough 'rats are publicly moving left so as not to be portrayed as not left enough by their vocal extremists. This helps conservatives look good to the middle ground voters who will reject anything too extreme from either side. The 'rats have to be polling very poorly. Although in this day and age, voters are probably reluctant to answer any questions truthfully lest a leftists mob descend upon them literally or virtually.

A simple fix: if you aren’t eligible to vote for a candidate then you can’t contribute to their campaign.

I like that, but eventually they'd make a law/loophole to go around it as well.

What are they going to “donate”? Their welfare checks or EBT cards. Losers all.

It should be made illegal for non-constituents to contribute to anybody’s campaign.

Too much corruption going on................
