Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) had her largest ever fundraising quarter, raking in close to $10 million as she raises her profile during a time of potential change for the Democratic party, with new faces showing willingness to challenge the old guard.
AOC's campaign manager Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben said on Tuesday that the funds came from 266,000 individual donors who, in average, gave $21. "AOC doesn't take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors," he said.
