New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been exposed taking thousands in lobbyist cash, despite one of her key campaign pledges being never to do so.
According to an investigation by The Washington Examiner, which analyzed her campaign’s financial disclosures, Ocasio-Cortez has taken thousands in donations from a prominent political lobbyist.
The report states:
Dave Koshgarian, a lobbyist with Ernst & Young, has been Ocasio-Cortez’s most consistent donor, sending her thousands of dollars beginning in 2020.
Koshgarian has represented a number of corporate clients, including Duke Energy, MetLife, General Electric, Charles Schwab, and BlackRock, according to lobbying disclosures.
