Just came across something interesting about AOC's finances from last year's Q1 disclosure. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised $9.6M from individual donors, which was actually the 3rd highest among politicians that quarter. But here's what caught my eye - her net worth sits at just $24.5K according to financial tracking, which is pretty wild considering the fundraising numbers. She spent $5.1M and had $8.3M cash on hand by the end of the filing period.

It's one of those things that shows how fundraising and personal net worth can be totally different metrics. Her net worth ranking in Congress is 421st, and apparently she has basically zero in publicly traded assets they can track. Also noticed she's been pushing some bills like the 10 Percent Credit Card Interest Rate Cap Act and a few environmental ones.

Not sure what to make of it all, but the gap between her fundraising power and actual net worth is definitely something people talk about when discussing politician finances. Interesting data point if you're following AOC's financial situation.
