NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Absentee Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t just skipping out on her Bronx and Queens district. It seems her mandatory financial disclosure for 2024 was missing for months, too.
The New York Democrat, who’s made a career out of railing against “the system,” couldn’t even stick to its deadlines. Ocasio-Cortez was one of the lawmakers who asked for a 90-day extension when the filings first came due back in May. But when the second deadline rolled around, she blew right past it, per the New York Post.
Compared to last year’s filing, she’s doing better. In 2023, AOC reported just $3,000 to $46,000 in the bank. That means she managed to grow her wealth by anywhere between $14,000 and $65,000 over the past year.
Like other rank-and-file House members, AOC pulls in an annual salary of $174,000. But her brokerage account is practically empty, with less than $1,000 reported.
