Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign funds last year on a psychiatrist who specialised in controversial ketamine therapy, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street. Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October, for a total of $18,725, according to The New York Post citing the records.
