Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office sure looks swampy

For a freshman member of Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., office sure seems swampy.

During the 2018 election, her campaign made several payments to Brand New Congress LLC for “strategic consulting,” and then Brand New Congress PAC made payouts to her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, who is billed as a “marketing consultant,” according to Federal Election Commission filings compiled this week by GOP operative Luke Thompson. As if that weren’t ethically dubious enough already, both the LLC and the PAC, which carried Ocasio-Cortez’s fledgling campaign to victory, were co-founded by her campaign chairman and current chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti.
