AOC hauls in behemoth $9.6M cash during first-quarter fundraising

“Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raked in an eye-watering $9.6 million during the first quarter of this year, shattering her own personal record, according to campaign finance disclosures.

For context, the next highest quarterly haul Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) raked in was just over $4.4 million in 2020, per a review of her campaign finance records by The Post.

“AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21,” Ocasio-Cortez’s senior adviser Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben claimed on X.

“AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first-time contributors.”

Typically, the Bronx and Queens rep tends to notch a rough average between $1-2 million on the fundraising circuit each quarter, her filings show.

By the end of last quarter, which ended on March 31, Ocasio-Cortez finished up with about $8.3 cash on hand, a staggering amount for a rank-and-file congresswoman in the off-year season, Federal Election Commission records show.

The Empire State rep’s monster purse represents about a quarter of what the official House Republican campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee, pulled in during the first quarter: $36.7 million.

Data from the official House Democratic campaign, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, hasn’t yet been released.

Over recent weeks, Ocasio-Cortez has embarked on a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour across the country with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), including in traditionally Republican stronghold districts — even flying first-class to one, as The Post exclusively revealed.

The self-described democratic socialist duo has attracted throngs of attendees at their rallies in which they’ve worked to whip up progressive energy against President Trump.

“Now I want to say a word about my daughter,” Sanders quipped about AOC during a rally in Utah on Sunday.

The progressive darling has garnered speculation about vying for the Senate or the presidency in 2028.

Last month, she split with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his decision not to block a GOP-backed plan to avert a government shutdown.

“I believe that’s a tremendous mistake,” she groused to CNN about Schumer’s decision. “This turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.”

“It sacrifices congressional authority, and it is deeply partisan.”

Sparse polling suggests that she’d be very competitive against Schumer in a hypothetical matchup, a challenge she declined to mount in 2022. A Data for Progress poll found her leading Schumer 55% to 36% in a primary.

At 35, she would also be constitutionally eligible to seek the presidency in 2028.

Ocasio-Cortez has been coy about her future aspirations.
