Ocasio-Cortez has spent more campaign money this cycle than any other Democrat up for re-election
In just two years, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has built a political operation rivalling those of some of the most prolific fundraising showstoppers in Washington.
The New York Democrat has spent the most money of any House Democrat seeking re-election this fall, shelling out at least $6.3m so far this cycle, despite representing one of the most liberal districts in the country.
That’s no reason to panic: Ms Ocasio-Cortez still has $4.6m in cash left over in her campaign account after raking in more than $10.5m over the last roughly 18 months, according to data compiled by the Federal Election Commission.
