Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raises $1.2 million for congressional campaign
Ocasio-Cortez is likely the best well-known freshman member of Congress because of her outspoken advocacy on progressive issues such as Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It’s also made her a punching bag for Republicans and some moderate Democrats who think that she is dragging the Democratic Party too far to the left.
She has also formed a partnership with Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, a group colloquially known as the “Squad.” President Trump said on Twitter Sunday that “‘Progressive’ Democratic Congresswomen” should “go back” to their countries — even though three of the four members of the squad he seemed to have in mind were born in the U.S. and all are American citizens.
GOP Rep. Devin Nunes raised the most money of any House member in the second quarter with over $1.8 million in contributions.
